how long should i wait to start dating? HELP real advice please!?

I am expecting in july, and i am single, my bf cheated on me with a girl he met on facebook, and spent Christmas with her and her 4 kids, and needless to say, we are NOT together anymore. but how long do i wait to start dating, i mean after the baby is born? what is acceptable? about 4 months, would it be wrong to start dating or announcing that i am single and ready to date now, but obviously not have sex? this is my first child, and i am a bit confused about being a single parent and dating? i can use any help.

1. i hav no answer please, since i don't know.
2. Wow I'm sorry to hear. But I'm glad you said you left your bf. I don't think there is any time limit on dating if you feel like dating right now then Date. I understand you want to wait till the baby is born but hey But a guy is gonna have to understand that your a mommy now and even if your pregnant or not the baby is always going to be in your life. So have fun. Take a chance and find someone. Good Luck.
3. there are a lot of people out there who have their own opinion about dating and morals... i think that you should focus on your baby... getting use to the idea of being a mommy. When your ready to date you will know... you may find a great guy without even looking... i wouldnt worry about the dating so much right now, you have a lot on your plate and your world is about to change for the better in a number of months... enjoy the miracle thats happening to you and once youve calmed down from that transition than you might be ready... but try not to listen to everyone else to wants to thrown their crazy ideas and who wants to put you donw... do what you need to do to make you happy, and your baby! congrats
4. I think when you are ready to start dating again. I would wait until you are completely over your ex and feel comfortable being single. I was in somewhat of the same boat as you and I still am. I spent a long time getting over my ex and focusing on my child. You should get your life together before you bring a boyfriend into the mix and never let a boyfriend meet your child until you are very serious. All this is obviously up to you, just be careful. Want someone to talk to you can check my profile and email me or IM me through Yahoo Messenger
5. post this in the pregnancy section too. You will get a lot more answers that may help you out just as much. As for my answer, wait. You may be too tired to go out and date. I say wait and see how you feel. And if a date date is too much, try a get together with other moms and their babies, toddlers or a group of close friends. From there see how it goes. Good luck.
6. I say go for it! If you can find a man who accepts you for who you are, you'd be crazy not to try. Don't worry about what's right or wrong with society.Do what your heart tells you to
