How do you enjoy dating when you're still sad about your ex, but know you have to date to move on?

You don't necessarily have to move on by dating someone else. I personally believe we don't ever move on from people or events, we just move forward. It could take a couple of weeks, a couple of months, or even longer. We all heal and move forward in our own time. I would say date when you are ready to date, no sense dating just because you feel lonely or just want the company. Because these new people who you might date, are not your ex. They will never be them, unless you go back and try dating them again (highly don't recommend personally). Just stay attuned to what you are wanting and need for your own peace after a breakup.

Exs are going to be a memory. It all depends how I handle the breakup. True love always finds a way.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time to heal after a breakup. I would suggest avoiding taking about your ex with whoever you are currently dating. It's essential that you start new and focus on your new relationship. If you feel like you need to talk to someone about your feelings about your ex, talk to a friend or professional, and allow yourself the time to move on.
