I'm Mexican so my family thinks "my mother" I have to live the rest of my life alone.......:(

The fact that your Mexican and your mother doesn't approve has nothing to do with your wants or needs. You will know when to time is right to move on with your life. Don't let anyone control it, it's your life.

Once you are divorced, you are free to date. When YOU decide the time is right, the time IS right. Actually, in my opinion, once you separate and file for divorce, you can date, but certainly any time after the marriage is ended. I loved my first wife, and expected our marriage to last until death, but sadly, I was married to a wrong woman. After we divorced, I never expected to care about any other woman. Thankfully, I was wrong. I'm happily married again, and we've been together for over 14 years. Good luck.

I come from a European back ground and when i got divorced my parents thought i should be alone for a very long time. My answer to them when i started dating my now husband was, i got divorced my husband didn't die so i am not going to sit in mourning for him. So i think you should start dating when ever you feel like it. Don't let anyone tell you that you should sit there and shrivel up and die lonely. go for it , be happy!!

You could make a date for the evening your divorce is final. Once you are divorced you are officially a single person again and free to date whomever you wish.

There is no set time, just what feels best for you.
Just think twice before getting married the next time, though, and make positively sure that that person is the person you want to be with for the rest of your life.

I would say that it is completely up to you as to when you should start dating. If you are worried about your ex's feelings, the question you should ask yourself is, should I have gotten a divorce in the first place.

Immediately providing your not just looking for a relationship on the rebound. If you feel secure enough emotionally then right of the get go would be fine as it usually takes quite a while for a divorce to be finalized anyway.

After you have learned what you needed to from the marriage that ended, and you know how to steer your heart in heavy traffic, then it is OK. Living alone is not the true plan.

why do people ask this question? when you find someone you want to be with it's ok. it might be today, it might be in 2 years. it doesn't matter. when you find this person it's okay.
and if everyone listened to their parents we wouldn't get anywhere. i'm sure your mother loves you but she isn't thinking about your happiness. just do what you feel in your heart, she'll get over it.
