When you are emotionally healthy. If you are bitter about your ex and consumed with angry thoughts about them, then it is not a good idea to start dating again. No date wants to be compared to an ex, good or bad, nor do they want to hear horror stories of a marriage gone bad. Above all, when you do begin dating again, make sure you don't fall for the first person who gives you positive attention. You risk the chance of having a rebound relationship that lacks depth but provides an immediate fix to a lonely life. Of course, if you click with someone and really enjoy their company, then go for it. One way to "get your feet wet" is to try the online dating services. You don't have to go on any dates unless you are comfortable, but it is a good chance to practice "putting yourself out there" and getting feedback so that when you ARE ready to start actually dating again, you will have an idea of what you want or don't want, and what you are willing to accept or not accept in someone new. Life is short. Carpe Diem! Seize the day! Go for it!

In Texas they tell you to wait 30 days because the ex has that long to file against the divorce...otherwise I would say give it a month or two more and then date a few people so that you don't get caught up in the rebounded relationship crap!

dating is fine anytime after a divorce. dating for a serious relationship, now that's different. it's been 2 years and you're finally wanting to again? it's time.

well, start dating now, if you feel ready and want to meet new people. I guess you need to decide if you are going to date just to go out and have a good time, or are you dating with the hopes of finding another person to eventually committ to and have a meaningful long-term relationship?

Only when you are free and clear of all baggage that came from the divorce. Make sure that you are ready to deal with the single/dating life. It's not easy. Just try to have fun.

my aunt was in this divorce support group and that group encouraged ppl not to date 3 years after divorce is final so to go through emotions etc... but do what you feel is right hope everything goes well for u.

I would say good time to start dating is a day before your divorce but something tells me you're not going to buy my philosophy. well i told you what i think and I feel better already.

I think that it depends on every person. Whenever you feel that you are ready would be the right time. You're the only person that knows what's right for you. Now go and get some!

As soon as you get the divorce papers stating your divorce is final.
