Like sparkle, When I started dating, it was such a treat to be treated like I was somebody enjoyable and cute and fun. I found it kind of addictive. To dress up and be charming was a real high for me.
The first guy I went out with was a real gentleman and I really liked his company. I liked him more than he liked me in the beginning and then he kind of ended it, and I didn't understand why. 6 months later, he decided that he really DID like me, and wanted to be my boyfriend and by then, *I* had gotten my bearings and declared us just friends.
I have had a number of dates since then, and it's still novel enough to be fun. Keep it coffee, keep it friends, acknowledge that you may FEEL ready, but know that you aren't really, and have a nice hour here and there with him. And enjoy feeling desirable without losing your focus on recovering from the last relationship.
