My exhusband and I seperated on October 9, 2006 and our divorce was final on March 2,2007. I was wondering what everyone thought was a good waiting period before dating again. Oh yeah I am 27 and I have 2 kids.

OH yeah my ex left me for another woman and he is living with her now and the kid spend everyother weekend with them,so I don't think me dating someone would effect them.

Well make sure it won't effect your kids but if your emotionly ready to date again go for it -- he didn't pass away you guys split up for a reason -- so you can be happy. And if that means you want to date again that what you should do but the kids may not be ready for it -- so I wouldn't bring it around them just yet. Unless there really young like 3 and under.

No matter when you start dating, your children will be torn, confused and hurt. And, it depends on the ages of the children involved. Please don't be selfish since your children need you. In addition, a lot of guys take advantage of a situation, the "divorcee" and you might be adding to your problems if you date and act needy. If you are not well educated then now is the time to go back to school and get your degree, or if you have it then now is the time to get your career job while your children are in school. If you didn't have education before then insist that your ex-husband pay for it in the updated divorce decree. Don't date because your ex is sensitive to the divorce and would have his attorney "check out" each and every man you go out with, and if you go out with too many then you could lose your children in an updated court decree. Why not cool your heels for a year and tread softly so as not to upset what you have now. Just as society has always treated women differently than men, so it is in your case as well. Your ex could do a lot of things and get away with it, but you can't.

If I were you I would wait it has only been 2 weeks since the divorce was final wait a bit longer it would be good to have a father figure for the kids.

I think that I would wait until you knew that you were really able to start something new, without your previous relationship impacting your ability to start a new, healthy one. Because you have two children, maybe you would want to wait for them to meet the new person until they've settled into their new living situation so that it's not too much at one time for them. Good Luck!

If you're over him, start dating now. I don't see why you should wait if you're ready. There is no 'set' amount of tiime, ya know, it's all up to you =] Good luck.
