Daughter: Hey, I saw you both flirting at the wake. You're obviously into each other. Now that you know he's single, you can ask him out.
Mother: Julie, I like Mr. Delfino, I do. I just, uh, I don't even know if I'm ready to start dating yet.
Daughter: Oh, you need to get back out there. Come on. How long has it been since you've had sex? Are you mad that I asked you that?
Mother: No, I'm just trying to remember.

In this dialog it means Resume dating.
 
I have found the following after Googling, I think that will be correct. Right?

People say that when they want to cheer someone up, like when you've had a breakup and your friend tells you to get back out there, meaning go get yourself together and find someone else.
