Dating For the Divorcee

Divorces can be brutal, nasty encounters for many men. They can be painful, and if you are lucky, they can just be for the best.

But the main thing to remember is to keep going and move on with your life. You can't let the divorce jade you when it comes to finding a good woman.

After all - there ARE still great women out there waiting to be found!

And the best way to recover from a divorce is to go out and start meeting as many women as you possibly can.

This can be hard for guys getting over a marriage - especially if it was a long one and/or you have kids.

After being with someone for a long time, you might be intimidated to go out and try and find another woman. You've been out of the dating scene for a while. You're older and you don't feel as attractive as you once were. You're afraid about what might be in store for you.

Well, don't worry. Getting back into dating is easier than you think.

First off, remember that your age has no bearing on with any of this. If you are older, the only person that can have any effect on you is the guy in the mirror.

Look at the positives that come with age. You have the benefit of being more established, and you have the experience too.

And hey, if she takes issue with your age, just reassure her that you won't hold her youth or inexperience against her!

Understand that you can start meeting women right away through your daily life. You don't HAVE to go to the bar or club scene like you did when you were younger. You can meet women anywhere! At the grocery store, the mall, or your local coffee shop.

If you're still a little intimidated about dating again, you can start breaking yourself back into the game by going on online dating sites to meet some women.

Typically, online dating sites are great places to start dating again because all the women on there WANT to meet someone, and you tend to get lots of women who are also divorced or have children, so they can relate to where you are coming from.

When dealing with a situation where you have children, and feel the need to date again, don't be afraid to do so. You're not betraying anyone by trying to be happy. But you do have to take your children into account when you're dating.

Be upfront with the women you date that you have children. Most women will be okay with it. Some won't. But it's best you find out early on.

Don't talk about your feelings for your ex-wife, no matter how bitter you are or how much you might dislike her. How a guy talks about his ex's reflect to other women how you might talk about them.

Be sure to be positive about your former wife, and let the women you're dating know you wish her the best.

There is no need to flaunt your money or job success in front of a woman. It rarely impresses them, so instead use actions. Pick up tabs without asking or just say that you "do well" if she asks what you do.

If you show a real interest in her and what she's all about, you'll go much further. She'll be reassured by the fact that you are actually into HER and not just interested in sex. And getting to know the person is what will make a great relationship.
