How do I start to date again after a divorce?

Just do what feels right. I dated my boyfriend for a year and a half before we broke up. He was my first boyfriend ever and i was completely heartbroken. It took a good 7 months for me to even feel comfortable around guys when i knew they were interested. Before i had always felt so awkward and uncomfortable. But then this one guy came along and for some odd reason I felt right with him. Just lead your daily life and when you least expect it, youll find someone. It wont happen if you go out looking for it, and if your expectations are to high, you migh date a loser just cause you want to date period. So i say do what you do on a daily basis, and love will come when you least expect it.

I was married 42 years but I am dating again now. When we were young I think we were more hunting than dating. We were looking for a permanent partner. Now I enjoy going out with men. Conversation with a man is different to conversation with another woman and it is nice to have an attentive male around occasionally. I make no commitment and I expect no commitment and I am having more fun than I have had in my entire life. Just bite the bit and jump in. You never know you might enjoy yourself

Divorced after 27 years of marriage? Oh my! We can't really tell what will happen in relationships. I don't want that to happen to me. What are feeling right now, are you devastated or are you happy now. Well, I think for me, I can't go on right away for dating after a divorce. I would probably take life as it comes. I'll meet some friends, meet some people for now and have a good relationship with my children and grandchildren if I have.

Hello and welcome to mylot, I know exact what you mean. I was married for 12 years when my husband one day wanted to change is life and move to the big city. He is today living as a homosexual person. I have no judgment of it and I have made my life to be very interesting. I am the guardian of our children, however my daughter is 20 years old an now live by her self, my 17 year old son with ADHD live with me. I have yet not met a new man, and as you say, I am also a bit terrified of meeting someone new. I guess we have a lack of trust, and in some way lost the know how to do - and for some reason I have no time to start a new relationship at the moment.

Takes three times of deep breath. Every time if you remember it back...

I too, was married 27 years and my husband asked for a divorce a year ago. I am now divorced, alone and broke. It seems, you and I did not ask for the life we now have. I am not concerned about dating. I just want to know when the feelings of abandonment leave me? I am heartbroken.

You have lead a long married life. I can make out you still have the desire. Dont supress your desires, express openly. Probably you might get your Dating Partner hereitself. All the best.
