g33kgurl: is it ok to date a separated man or are you better off waiting until the divorce is finalised?
It depends on who filed for divorce. If she did you'll be dating a nutter, some like that but your mileage may vary. If he filed it's a coin flip, heads he's ok, tales...he's a nutter, the randomness there adds a whole new level of...adventure.
.....ah yes.....there is always a price tag in there somewhere.....
No but seriously.....to answer the thread question.......
I see nothing wrong with dating somebody who is still just separated.....not fully divorced I mean.....
however this may also have it's negatives.....most people are still undergoing rejection syndromes after separation......consciously or subconsciously....and it takes a few years to dissipate.....
....so I would proceed with caution......would not want to end being a springboard for somebody's else hurt egos.....
seperated people are not ready to date, they have issues to solve, family, divorce. their minds are elsewhere,and are very confused, they are hurting and very vulnurble about life, goals, etc. i allways stayed away,because i knew what i went through.

Does how long they've been separated not come into the equation?

does it matter?if hes been seperated for a long time,why still hang on to an "invisible"marriage instead of letting go and be done with,and then move on.its either you are in,or you are out.

abbiye: i think a man should be legally divorced before ever thinking of dating again.its like trying to kill two birds with one stone,just not possible
yeah.. i thought that was the case.. but being single all my life.. separated is not something i come across too often... i just assumed it is equal to divorce! agh! stooopid!!
