It's different for everybody i think. I'm going to say if you start dating less than six months after your divorce, try to be honest with yourself about where you are emotionally. Not easy to do sometimes, and then be honest with the person your dating.
I´d say asap, but that wouldn´t be "serious" dating. Just having fun, regaining lost confidence perhaps, and discovering a new world.
When you become your old self again without any hang ups, or a broken heart perhaps, then it´s time to think about dating seriously with a view to the future.

I agree...it depends on what you want out of the dating experience. At first it's just to get back out there but as your heart mends it may be ready to love again.
I started a few months after I separated so I know I am not waiting until the final process of the divorce that can take months it is up to the person and are they really ready to move on but it is nice if you can find someone to date and maybe share through the process of it all

i agree..but i guess it would depend how emotionally vulnerable you feel too.It may be easier to heal,without any kind of involvement stirring up dormant emotions.

I agree also.. but every person is different, and for some people, moving on is part of that healing process.
