There are many men and women who have a rule when it comes to dating someone who is separated but not divorced yet: they wont do it. So, dont be so quick to decline a date with someone who isnt divorced yet! You could be jumping to judgment too quickly and passing up someone who you really could have connected with.

How long after separating Is it OK to date?

Wait until your divorce or separation is final before you start dating. Even if you know your marriage is really, truly over, you still need to give yourself some time and space. Although theres no magic time frame by which one is ready to date, I typically recommend that one wait about a year, Jones says.
