Three years, good for you! I was married for 12, and am struggling with how to handle my new relationship. It's not like it was as teenagers. I met him on match.com, it worked out well so far. There are also single groups on yahoo for just socializing-check them out. Even if you don't find a date there, you'll get good advice. Also, I ask my 20 something single friends questions all the time. Good luck.

I am in the same situation so, I'm not sure I should be giving advice but, here's what I've been doing so far.......
1st. (most importantly) - just be yourself!
2. Take your time getting to know someone and if it feels right ask them out. If your meeting someone from an internet dating site, first date have some coffee at starbucks or something easy. keep the meeting short maybe an hour.
3. don't play games - try to keep the lines of communication open.
4. First coffee meeting goes well and you feel an attraction, ask them out again.
If you have kids, it's hard trying to do the juggling thing but, it's worth it. To have a well rounded life, you need to get out sometimes and have fun with the opposite sex.
If you don't want to do the internet dating, sign up for a class that interests you. Get involved in voluteering in your area such as a church. Do anything that gets you out of the house and meeting people.
Remember, life is only what you make of it. There is someone
out there for you and it's up to you to find them. Good luck with your search.
Oh and one more thing, if you are shy don't worry about it. Some woman like shy men.

I was out of it, too. I thought I was ready and then found out how hard it really is. I get tongue-tied and jittery like a 12 year old. I suggest getting to know someone over a long period of time.
The first date should be something easy to handle like a lunch date. Make it short and sweet. After that you can always leave if you don't like her. The next date could be dinner and a movie or what ever you feel best with.

The hardest part is trying not to treat the new person like she is the old one! Adjusting to someone new after being with some one for so long is hard! The only thing you can do is be yourself. Good luck!

just be yourself.... trying to be something you aren't just messes with your mind and paints the wrong picture.
Hook up with a church singles group.... make some friends then explore your options for dating.
you deserve the best....
Be Blessed!
