Not an AA rule/suggestion. Same with the whole "make no big changes in the first year" garbage. Seems to directly fly in the face of the third step question "God is either everything, or god is nothing, what is your choice to be." That seems like a big decision, big change if you will, that I made... same with giving up on alcohol... These steps lead me to a god that revolutionizes my life. There is no timestamp on this.
My experience has been, if you feel ready to date then date. Just make sure you are in a position to actually contribute something meaningful to the relationship. For some people this happens days or weeks after walking in because they ger through the work quickly, for others they drag their feet and fight the process and may not be able to have a healthy relationship even after that 365th day.
