I'm divorced twice and left the baggage in the unclaimed dept. But it's terrible trying to date again. Esp. @ 48 yo. All the guys want is a one night stand and I'm not into that. I've dated , if you can call it that because it was only one date each time, 7 times in the last year and 9 mos. Pretty pitiful....I am just looking for a decent guy. When they see you are divorced, they figure one thing......You're desperate for sex. If that is all I wanted, I wouldn't have a problem. It's hard to date again.

I feel as if I have been a single parent for many years although still legally married and living with the man. If I were to have gotten divorced back then, I would have been real bitter. Now, I'm not bitter.... at times a bit tangy but I'm really sweet now. Some days I get mad and depressed but not nearly as bad as I did.

Make sure you're completely over the ex before starting up anything new or anything potentially serious. You don't wanna bring your past drama into your new relat. Just remember if you do start dating again, make sure that you and your heart are ready. I'm sure, depending on the length of your marriage, a new relat/dating is goin to seem a bit bizarre at first, but you'll adapt eventually I'm sure, or you may not even have a prob with it. I say go for it if and when you're truly ready.Good Luck

If one feels bitter or still yearns for their ex, then they shouldn't start dating. Your new dating partners don't deserve to have their time wasted by someone who is carrying bitter baggage or who still wishes they were with someone else.
It can be tough to start dating again, but once out there it's not much different than the last time you dated as an adult...be yourself, and get to know people. Keep an open mind, and it'll be fine.

As a widower, I found it really hard. All the baggage that goes with a divorce, plus survivor guilt.
I didn't even try the first three years. Finally, I found a cybersex chat room and started brushing the rust off my flirting technique. Then came karaoke. And 11 years after she passed, I'm starting to get good at flirting and dating again.

I tried the dating game, and that's all it was.. a game.
I have decided being alone is better. Dating isn't all that great. There are some real jerks out there and it takes the fun out of it. lol
