You need to detach before you can get to a place where you can make the decision as to whether or not to move on. Don't get the two confused (as many here do). If you think you need a GF to make things right, it means you're not ready for one. It is when you have sorted through things, have fixed your problems, have created and independent life for yourself, and don't feel you have to have anyone to be happy and move on...that's when you'll be ready for a GF.
Oh so true! This I learned after my first marriage. Dating just won't feel right for quite some time. Yeah, it's nice to have female companionship, definitely. I had some good friends to spend time with. It made doing some of those things (like clothes shopping) so much easier. But the important part is that we were clearly friends and not dating. That helped me get back on my feet. Granted, I didn't figure everything out, but I was able to grow. I think if I'd jumped into dating too soon, I would have just gone from gf to gf, which I ended up doing eventually anyway (but then I was also young and stupid).
