The reason why I am asking is because I heard that the longer you stay single the the odds of ever marrying again get slim?

I only made it a week..I was literally divorced and re-married in the same week. That was 10 years ago. It has lasted longer than the first one! I don't however recommend this for everyone!

If you have children stay single until they are in high school at least, they will need your time and energy to deal with the divorce. Another marriage may help you but it will not help them.
If you have no children, then stay single long enough to let your heart heal so that you do not take any residual resentment or anger into a new relationship.

You should stay single until you are ready to date again and you find someone who would be worth getting into a relationship with... There is no set amount of time that is good or bad, it's whenever you feel you are able to move on, which is different for every person.

Don't rush in to another marriage... Maybe a long engagement... You need time to heal from your divorce...If you hurry remarriage up, you may well split up just as quickly. Don't worry about the odds.... Love can come along when you least expect it. And any one you date, if they're worth anything at all, will wait until you're really ready..

I haven't heard that statistic, but my take is that you're may be more likely to get married again, but if you rush in, you're probably also more likely to get divorced. They also say you should be single for half the time you were together, but really, I think its more when you feel ready.

thats crap, but a councellor will tell u to stay away from relationships for at least 2 years, depending on your emotional baggage, but if u feel it's right after 3 months 6 months 3 years ,, just do it .. get out there and have some fun .

Stay single and footloose until you feel you are over the break-up and ready to try again. It's all about you and the choices you make, not about statistics or what other people say.

give yourself enough time so that you aren't worried about what your ex would say, the entire conversation doesn't revolve around your ex or what she did to you. Go out when you can be YOU. I found the love of my life 2 years after my divorce. Hang in there...
Have fun & good luck!

That's just silly!!! Or do you have an expiration date!??
Give yourself the time- you need to regroup. Then start dating. And by this I mean, more than 1. Take it easy. You don't want to end up in another bad relationship.
