Everyone has baggage of one sort or another. If you have kids then the person you get involved with would need to understand that the kids are, and will continue to be, a big part of your life. Depends also on why you were divorced. If it was because of violence then that's the kind of baggage that would be better lost at the airport. If you really like a person you will take most things about them on board. Good luck in your single life!
Re the no kids: depending on why, THAT might be the baggage!

I don"t think you necessary bring baggage after a divorce. If you have children I would keep them out of meeting any new people you are dating. My friends and I changed a lot after divorce during the first 2 years. Keep it simple and make sure you are ready to move on. If you feel you would be bringing baggage to the dates you may want to wait a little while before you start dating.

Being divorced doesn't mean that you have baggage,that is more a case of having your 6 kids living with you. I would just relax and not worry about that until you meet someone,who knows maybe you'll meet a woman in the same position as yourself and all the worrying was a waste of time. Whichever way I wish you all the best.xx.

Take that baggage back to the taxi!!
I think it is important to take time off ( I like 6 months) between relationships to assess and make sure the lessons offered by the relationship were learned, and to get to know the person I am at that time, this certainly will have been altered or clarified by the experiences of the relationship.
Too soon is not good for anyone. It pretty well condemns the new relationship and shows that the person is not learning from his mistakes.

What adult these days doesn't have baggage??? we all do, to some degree. If I started dating a bloke without any baggage, then that would be baggage in itself....Why no baggage, no life experience.
we all have baggage, we just have to decide whether or not we can comfortably carry the other persons too.

Personally, I would be thinking, "why did your last realationship fail?" because there is every chance that you would get tired of me and dump me to the side ae well. Of course, there would be the baggage issue as well.

I think it's good for you to get out there and live it up, just don't talk about your ex to your date. your single, play the field and just have a good time. if youre an emotional wreck over the divorce. go out with your friends until you've bounced back. but i definately say go for it....good luck and play the field
