Yes, you can date other people while you are legally separated in Delaware. However, it is important to remember that you are still technically married until the divorce is final.
A legal separation does not terminate the marriage; the parties are still married to each other. It is possible to get a legal separation and never be divorced. This requires the consent of both spouses. In the USA every jurisdiction has a ``no fault divorce that can be obtained even if only one spouse wants it.

A settlement agreement differs from a separation agreement as it sets the terms for the divorce, not the separation. A settlement agreement should address all central issues of the divorce. This can include things like division of marital assets and debts, child custody, and child support, as well as spousal support.
Furthermore, before you file for divorce, you and your spouse must be legally separated. Under Delaware law, in order to be legally separated, you can still be separated if you live in the same house so long as you do not share the same bedroom with your spouse or have sexual relations with your spouse.
