Thanks for the replies.

So am I in a place to want to date someone now?

The obvious answer is no. Within the next month I'll be moving, and essentially starting a whole new life. It's going to be a helluva transition. It'll be months before I get settled into a routine.

But on the other hand, W BD'd me back in like April. We haven't slept in the same bed, or had ANY physical contact since last September. So even though BD was still somewhat surprising, honestly the M has been dead for a long time. And, a man does have needs. Not just sexual. But just feeling wanted, attractive, etc.

I always had the theory that you'll be hung up on 'this one' until the 'next one' comes along. Even if it's not a relationship, dating, sex, or anything. Just someone else to help occupy some of the space your ex took up in your mind.
