if she/he hasn't lived with their spouse in 6 months??
If you are not legally divorced..you are "technically" still married. If in your heart the marriage is over and He/She is dating already then go for it. I left my husband in the month of October many years ago and by November I was dating..divorced him by the following January..pushed real hard to get rid of his lousy butt!
I would say go ahead and date if in fact you are positive the marriage is over. If this is a trial separation...be careful!
Unless you get a divorce, you are still not single. If you are trying to date right now, this could be a major hang up with people, because even though it's been six months, they may feel you could still potentially go back to your partner.
Even if you were divorced, you wouldn't be single, IMO - you'd be divorced. Right now, you are at best separated, and even that is a little questionnable unless one of you has filed for divorce or divorce is clearly the intent and known to both of you. You give no details - for all I know, your spouse could be deployed to Afghanistan and you haven't "lived" together for six months.
However, in no way would you be single. Single to most people implies never married, and to many if not most people, a previous marriage is information they want to know about.

Good point.
