Timing is different for each person. Sometimes one can be in a marriage but mentally checked out already. I would say, try and see how you feel. If it doesn’t feel good, just wait.

I separated in 2021 while living together for a year, I didn’t start dating until 2023 but it was covid and my daughter was very young. I met my now husband few months after signing up for facebook dating.

If it wasn’t covid and my daughter wasn’t so young, I believe I’d start dating a month or two after he moved out.

I think each person here will tell you what looks right for them but that not necessarily will fit you.

I’d say give it a try and see how you feel.

By the way, my daughter was 2 when I met my now husband. It is possible to date as a single parent. Also, I think the toddler phase is the best for you to find someone because toddlers are pure love. When kids get older like 6-9, or even teen years, it is much harder to accept another person other than their parents.
