I think you can do it if you like, but a telling question for you would be "would you date a separated person" because many people (including me) flat out will not do so under any circumstances.
What are your thoughts on dating while separated from your spouse? Would you do it? How far is too far? How long is too long?
Well, even if separated, there may be chance for reconciliation. However, if the relationship is completely over, and you're just stuck due to all the trouble of divorce, I don't think it's wrong to date a bit. But it may be moving a bit fast. Probably would be better to let the divorce get finalized, and get your life together as a single person 1st, rather than starting another relationship with all the responsibility again so soon.
So, seems when some separate, they may hate the thought of being single, so they go straight for other relationships, even if 1 hasn't completely finished off yet. Not always. Sometimes you meet people when you aren't particularly looking.
But I wouldn't date a man that was still married. He and his wife may be estranged or separated. But he still isn't quite single. And I don't date men still taken up with other women.

What would be the point? What do you mean by "separated"? You mean if the spouse is on a business trip or vacation without you, or do you mean legally separated?

The vast majority of separations end in divorce, not reconciliation. Honestly, you can basically say divorces which are preceded by separations are just divorces that play out in slow motion. I would expect any separated spouse to date other people.
I continued to date, but then we had an open marriage at the end, and I was already in a relationship. Then we separated. Actually, we lived in separate states already as he was a geobachelor in the military. I was in a relationship for 6 months with a man who was also legally separated.
In some states you have to be separated for X amount of time before either party can file, and the divorce was being handled in NC, and I lived in CA.
If there's no chance of reconciliation, and the separated party is legit separated, then I don't see what the issue is. *shrug*
The basic generic answer is no, if there are additional circumstances surrounding it, maybe... IDK... my understanding of separation is just so that each side and stand back evaluate whether they want to be together, something along those lines.
If it's just used to get some strange on the side and go back home to the wife after a while, then definitely not down with dating while separated.
I did, but in hindsight I would not do it again. It was a very complicated time and I wasn't really in the right frame of mind to make good choices.

Yes, legally separated.
