Q. For the Betrayed/Left Behind: When Did You Feel Emotionally Ready to Date Again

I'm not in the financial position and certainly don't have the time to date as I have my hands full with my 4MO. and 8 year old boys. However, I still don't even feel "available" to flirt, never-mind date. My ex cheated and abandoned our family. He doesn't deserve my loyalty but even when a man flirts with me, I don't flirt back because I feel like that would be disloyal or cheating - even though the relationship has been over for five months. When we were together, I never strayed or had inappropriate relationships. I gaurded monogamy/fidelity from my end. I feel like flirting back just out of fun - not for a relationship would be a betrayal even though I don't owe anybody that and am single. When did you feel okay about flirting or dating again? I feel like I'm going to be emotionally unavailable forever.
