I've come to a place now where the concept of dating is something I need to consider. The reason is that I, beyond my own belief, actually have a date in the very near future.

I'm confused. You got a date, so you decided to date? Isn't that backwards?
Anyway, regardless, I'm all in favor of trying things. If it don't work, it ain't the end of the world. Just be yourself and have fun. Afterwards, you'll know whether it was too soon.
Re:Fear marfanoidus: I agree with Jim. Your reasons for wanting to date don't seem clear.
Be wary of trying date just to find 'acceptance' - you know, the marriage ends so you feel like a failure, loser, etc., so you want to go on a date so you can put on the show and impress a member of the opposite sex just so you can feel better about yourself. Not that I would ever do anything like that ;D
A month is too soon - hell, you haven't even had the chance to paint a clear picture of why your marriage is ending.
Wait for the marriage to be ended - not ending - and then give yourself time to rediscover who you are, clarify any doubts you may have about yourself with regard to being accountable for your part of why your marriage is failing. Learn who you are before you start dating.
good luck to you,
walt
