It may be daft to ask when is a good time to start as some people would be ready straight away, some may take much more than a year after a break up before feeling ok about dating..
My issue is I feel ready; I'm much happier in myself and excited about the possibility of meeting new people..even if it doesn't go anywhere. But I do feel a bit guilty..it's been 6 months since he left, but xP is a very hands on dad and sees DC nearly every weekend, both days. They adore him and I'm in no way looking for another father for them. I would also be incredibly cautious and very reticent about introducing anyone new to them for a while.
I suppose that's it; I feel guilty because I'd be doing it purely 100% for my needs...and since having DC, that feels a little odd. But I would blimmin' love a bit of male company and I'm pretty open minded to things developing.
Another thing is I feel like xP is still my best friend & he says the same about me. We always laugh about how much we love/fancy/like each other but drive each other crazy and can't be together. I'd hate to be unfair on a new person..but then I have been looking back to the past for quite a while now & want to move on.
Sorry for the long dreary post , any experiences/advice would be lovely
