I don’t have any hang ups about married and dating—but I would at least settle your feelings about your XW first. I waited 4-6mo after being “100% done” with my last relationship before dating again. That way you know your decisions about giving up on the past relationship are not influenced by the new one and you aren’t masking baggage. Your post a week ago seems to indicate you are still attached to your XW and her feelings and choices.
One of the things passed around here as far as dating is concerned is that it is best to wait one month for each year you were married. I was marred 28 years and waited 3 years to start dating again. It worked out well.
