Unless you are struggling to cope with the breakup it is never too early to go dating again. Just do it OP, you might be glad you put yourself out there.

There's no magical cut-off date where you suddenly feel like dating again. Some people can move on in a day, others can take a lifetime. If you've met somebody and your head is telling you to ask her out on a date, then go for it.

I don't think I am ready it wont be fare to some one else, I could never mess another person round

Then you have your answer. Give yourself more time.

I talked to my Wife, she told me she is happy she doesn't look it, I decide to go on a date weds with a barrister any advice for it ?

You're split from your wife so, to put it bluntly, who you date is none of her business.

Regarding the date itself, no advice really, there's no step-by-step guidebook for you to follow. Just be yourself and enjoy the company. And see where it goes from there.

Eh, what? Why would you ask your wife and why does your date's profession matter? It strikes me as quite telling that this is your current perspective on how to proceed and what matters. If this is how you're looking at things, maybe you need to wait until your head is a bit more clear.

Enjoy your date. Don't spend the night talking about your wife;)

Sorry I should have meant my wife said she is happy now with her new oh, I wont spent the night talking more of a Lister than a talker thanks for the advice

Good stuff sounds exciting and terrifying in equal measures! That could be good for blasting the cobwebs.

Don't talk about your wife.
Don't expect this to be more than a simple date.
You said you're a good listner, that puts you ahead of nearly everyone!
Don't talk about your wife!
Give it a chance with an open mind. It could be brilliant, or it could be crappy, that's the fun of dating: you have no idea.
Don't pressure yourself with anything, just try and have a fun night out.
Take it easy on the gargle, in case emotions come up!


Did I mention not going on about your wife?

Have a blast man, I hope it goes well! Looks like your mojo is coming back to you!

Good man.

Sometimes you dont know if you are ready to move on or not until you try it.
