To not feel ready to date yet

My five year relationship ended 2.5 years ago, it was totally unexpected for me, I was heartbroken and had to go for counselling. Recently, I went on a date, I did enjoy it, he's a nice guy, but the next morning I felt in my gut that I'm not ready for this or starting anything serious. Now, I'm over my ex, would never go back there, and thought it'd be nice to start getting back out there - until I did. Should I listen to my gut?

Yes, I think so.

Unless you felt some big spark or great attraction, in which case I don't think you'd be asking this.

I haven't been ready to date myself for a while.

Could it just be that that particular man is not for you, as in yes, he is nice and good company but there is no 'spark'?

When I was OLD I would find this feeling a bit distasteful when they were keen and I really wasn't in that way.
