Doing some mild poking around OKCupid toe try to find interesting people to IM wth, and accepted the invitation of someone who messaged me in early April to go out for tea. I'm too busy to socialize too much (even weekends at Mike's were a good portion me sitting on his bed and reading, which is really only something you can do with a S.O.), but I figure I can take 1-2 hours out for a study break to meet someone new. I don't know whether I should wait to try to start dating again until I'm over Mike (or at least until it's been more than 30 hours since we broke up), or whether it's in fact healthy to have some simple playing-the-field dates even early on after a break-up to help speed the process. Just as long as I don't have someone walk out through the back door in the middle of our dinner like one guy did.

God, why does this feel like cheating?

ETA: Hmm, I think part of why it feels like cheating is that a part of me maybe still hopes we'll change our mind and I'll figure out a way to be content with the relationship. Still got a bit of denial/bargaining in me I guess.
