No offense, but Scott is grieving. He's not going to be ready for a romantic relationship for a while (or not a healthy one).
Grief from a loss of that magnitude usually takes at least a year to get past the intense parts, and many people speak of not really feeling past it for about five years. Now, men DO (far more than women) get themselves involved in relationships ... but it's usually as a way to *escape* the pain of grief, and isn't healthy. As a bereavement counselor, we tried to counsel men against getting married again quickly. They were simply trying to fill the empty space and (as noted) to escape the pain of grief. (Men, in Western society, are generally not as good at handling intense emotions like grief.) There's an old truism about widowers: they marry in about a year, or they don't marry for five. Obviously, there are exceptions, but it holds remarkably true. And of those year marriages, I'd guestimate about 90% end in divorce or wind up unhappy.
