When to Date After Divorce
If you’re wondering when to date after a divorce, there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
In short, the best time to start is really when you feel comfortable on your own and in your own life. Until you’re comfortable with your life and yourself, you may not be open to meeting someone else.
When you are ready, take things slow. Give yourself time to get used to dating again, meeting another person, and trusting them. There is no sense in rushing things. Especially if you have children, it is important to go slow.
Your kids don’t need to meet everyone you are dating or even hear about them. Save meeting your kids for someone you are truly committed to and want to become part of your family.

Forget Your Type

You might be missing out on a whole group of people you never even thought of.
Someone different might be just the change of pace you need.
