Depends how long you have been apart. Romance on the rebound not a good idea.

You will know when you are ready to date. If you haven't gotten over the ex yet I would wait but at least get out and socialize. If you have good friends and family who are your support network - spend time with them. Volunteer, join a gym, take a class . . . whatever healthy interests you have, pursue one or more of them. Take your time getting comfortable with yourself again and don't think that you have to be part of a 'couple' again right away. You will learn to appreciate yourself and will be much happier in the long run (as will whomever you become involved with in the future).

No don't - take some time - for the 1st year you shouldn't date - it is a statistical fact that relationships started during the lst year of a divorce/death of a partner/separation from a long-term/ have very little success. Nothing lasts, that happens on the rebound.

I think dating is fine, but you need lots of time to heal without an attachement to one person. In other words, don't jump into a relationship. This is a time to make friends that can help you process the changes that you WILL experience.

well if you need to get over it, you need to get to know yourself first or you will have unsatisfying realtionships.
time by your self is good even though when we see the one who left us with someone else we want to show them we moved on quickly as we can, but it's not the best things always, before you do that spend time without any realtionship, maybe even go on a trip alone or with the guys to go hunting or whatever you do with your friends without any women near by male bonding will help you rediscover yourself then when you go on a date you will be your true self not someone trying to date to move on, its not fair to anyone sitting across from you at dinner.

NO! You should not start dating until you are over your wife leaving you. If you still carry bad feelings for her it will ruin any other relationship you try to start.

Date because you want to share experiences with someone else not because you want to get over someone else. The good thing about ending a relationship is that it makes room in your life for someone you should be with.

It wouldn't hurt to get back out there and have some fun. That helped me a lot when my marriage broke up. But, just be careful not to use or hurt anyone in the process.

Yep jump back on the horse. Don't just sit around and dwell on the past. Wake up and move on. Good luck. Get out here and live.

socializing and having others around may be good for you right now but i wouldnt start dating just yet , dating on the rebound always end with disaster. give it a little time.
