I still have feelings for him, but he's not sure how he feels and we can't really make it work right now anyways.I want to move on, and part of that means seeing other people. He was my first serious relationship, and majority of my dating experience (only had 1 awkward date w/ someone else) so I should probably give other people a try anyways.I'm definitely not looking for anything serious, but what about casual dating? I'm still hoping my ex and I get back together someday, so should I wait? Is it unfair to the other guy(s) if I'm still thinking about my ex?

Once you do start dating, be upfront about what you want in a relationship to avoid being unfair to the guys you date.
Holding onto a hope that you & your ex will get back together will not help you heal.

Just don't mislead people, is all I'm saying. If you're honest with them and they're OK with these terms then all is well. there could be guys out there who are in the same situation as you and who are looking for casual fun but not a serious relationship so there's no harm in being upfront and looking for someone like this

 Yes it is unfair on other people and you will jeopardise your chance of getting back with your ex if you sleep with other people
