I want to go out with him to get over my ex, but is it not fair because my heart is elsewhere?

A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone! I have a dilemma. I have a date this week with someone who seems really keen on me, but I am getting cold feet and don't know if it is fair of me to go and meet this guy cos I'm not over my ex. My ex and I split up over a year ago amidst a lot of nastiness and heartbreak (he finished it) and he now refuses to have anything to do with me. However I would do almost anything for us to rekindle our relationship, but don't know how to do this. Part of me is thinking that by going out with this new guy, it will help me to move on with my life, because I know I shouldn't be waiting around for my ex indefinitely. On the other hand though, I don't want to hurt anyone by giving them hope of a relationship when my heart and mind is elsewhere. Help!

Went on my date-he was nice but not for me. Let him down gently and have decided I'm just not ready to date yet. Am going to give myself time and enjoy being single for as long as it takes. Thanks everyone for replying x
