Is it too soon to date?

Ok, so my husband left me and our 2 children last week for another woman. My youngest baby being 11 weeks old.

We hadn't had sex since June (not by my choice) last year and you know..... a woman has her needs!

So a guy I used to see casually and have remained in contact through Facebook has cropped up. He saw me as the one he let go and seriously regretted it and has asked if we can rekindle things. He is a lovely guy and we didnt work previously as I chose my now ex husband.

I told him I don't want anything serious as the break up is still raw, but i would like a bit of 'adult company' when my children are staying at their dads.

I asked my friends opinions and they say it's too soon, but I just need some company and some sex basically.

I do like this guy and could see a potential future with him once my heart is mended and in the right place.

So what's your opinions ladies? Is it too soon, or shall I let this guy in and see what happens?
