You are right. It is going to be a very long time until I am not being affected by this and whoever I end up with will eventually have to deal with some of the consequences of everything that happened...

Well, I think it's still good to receive different kinds of advice to give you a general idea of different perceptions .  True... very true.

We can't help but talk about such horrific, challenging times in our lives;
Most people enjoy talking about themselves more than hearing about our life situations, unless of course they have been through or are going through a similar situation, then there would be a lot to compare. If that is who you are at this time in your life but also would enjoy the companionship of others (dating) and they are unable to understand your situation at this time, then it would weed out anyone who may not be interested in who you truly are. Don't ever be afraid to be the person you are at any given time or circumstance of your life. Our experiences good or bad simply add the spice (seasoning) to the basis of who we are.

Re: Pat_B
So much for sensible advice.  I think you've reached that stage where you know what you want and how to approach the problem. btw, them that seemed to love him weren't living with him. better luck next time.

Re: White_Elephant
No - never dated like that, and I don't think any of my friends had either.  Don't know ... I could be wrong but I just don't like the sound of it ~ but hey, you could get lucky and get a good catch!

Have you had any bad experiences or heard of friends who had bad ones? It is true that online dating can be a bit weird.

I've always been very cautious but I do know what you mean, it's better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately, Tim was recommended to me by a friend and everyone seemed to love him. Go figure.

I don't like the sound of online dating! ... it's up to you ~ only you know how you really feel, if it's too soon or not!

Just do what makes you happy!

Is it too soon for online dating? in a word: YES!
It's not the dating -- it's online that spooks me. Wouldn't it be safer to go out with someone recommended by a friend?  Someone you meet at work?  At church?  There are so many terrifying stories about con games and predators on the web, it just seems too risky.  But, if you do give it a try -- meet in a public place, limit your first get-together to two hours, and whatever you do, don't get into a car with him.
