What are some good Dating tips for a women who is recently Divorced after being married for 10 yrs or more and is starting to date again?


but back to the topic, OP, I'd say. Go slow & be careful. I was too trusting right after my divorce. I had forgotten what dating was and treated my boyfrieds too intimately too soon - not sex really, and not with demands, but expecting that they'd understand things the way a husband would..because, well, that was what I was used to

so my advice, go slow. make some friends, and best of luck!flowerforyou

Well I was talking about the same as you in addition to the other.. I walked away from most of my family.. Why? Because I get to choose how I'm treated and I won't be used or mistreated.. I've been married and divorced twice.. Why? B/c I made the wrong decisions when I was young.. I've grown up and will never make those mistakes again.. I don't really care if those things make people not want to date me but it "does not" mean that I have issues.. It means that I don't deal with bs and will stay away from it.. I like my life drama free..

Good Advice...go slow.

Be OK with being alone first.

Regroup, rebuild, renew yourself.

I am not sure if this applies to women but I found that it is good just to have fun with friends. There wasn't that much fun for me at the divorce. Everything seemed so serious. Even if you are just by yourself and don't have any friends having fun can be good for you. If you are like I was fun seemed like some strange concept. Laughing at yourself is very important because cutting yourself some slack will cut down on the self-imposed guilt of a divorce. Learning to live alone can get really strange because even though they are gone you might find yourself still trying to talk to them. One of my major challenges was being able to keep a plant alive. Getting a decent body pillow helps, too. Having music or a television helps, too because it can seem like you are not so alone. That way you won't come off as needy and clingy as I did. Just because you are desperate doesn't mean the opposite sex will cut you any slack. It is like, hey, what did you do to piss off the last person you was with so that you are no longer married. It is a wonderful time to think because you don't have the distraction of a another person to interrupt your thinking. Go out and buy your favorite foods and if you cook make your favorite dishes. Be friendly with yourself after all you probably have been friendless after the divorce.
