Dating After a Divorce

Make Sure You’re Ready

Life after divorce can require some tricky maneuvering, whether it was your marriage that ended or the marriage of someone you’re dating. Here are some tips to help you navigate these potentially muddy waters.

When You’re Divorced:

Are You Sure You’re Ready?

You need to make sure you have healed from your last marriage. Make sure you’re really over your ex. If you’re not over your ex, or if you’re an emotional mess, it’s better to avoid the dating scene for a while. Take the proper time to come to terms with your past before inviting someone new into your life and figure out what you are looking for in your next relationship. Getting into something serious right away is probably not a good idea, so date around a bit. Ask a psychic about your situation today!

Don’t Put  All of Your Eggs in One Basket

Reentering the dating world means you can date around! Don’t limit yourself to just one person—not only will it give you a chance to figure out what you are looking for, but you won’t run the risk of developing too many feelings for any one person at this point. You are probably going to be a little vulnerable after the divorce, so keep your options open and your dates in the proper perspective. Never rush into a relationship.

Toss the Negative Thinking

If things ended badly with your marriage, you may be struggling with some jaded feelings. Don’t carry these feelings around with you—you’ll project them onto every potential mate you meet and then wonder why no one’s showing interest. Worse yet, you may attract the ones who are are just as negative about relationships as you are!

When They’re Divorced:

Are They Ready?

Ask questions, read their nonverbal communication and you’ll find out quickly enough whether they are over their marriage and the drama that came with the divorce. If they can’t get off the topic of their ex and focus on you and the date, they are not ready. Communication is everything, so find out what they are looking for, as it may not be something more than a short affair if their divorce is too fresh in mind and heart.

“Recovering from a broken heart is not an easy thing.  It is something that is hard to just walk away from. You tend  to feel like a failure, have tendency of despair, self-doubt, and you can even fall into depression. It takes time for your heart to heal.” – Psychic Asia ext. 5486

The Ex Factor

Realize that the ex was a huge part of their life for years and that while they should be over the divorce, the ex topic will still come up, especially if they have children together. If they do, you will probably have to deal with the ex for as long as you are in the relationship. Will they ever get over their ex? Psychic Milania ext. 5409 knows if it is worth sticking around.

Rebound Radar

Make sure your newly divorced friend is not just dating you out of loneliness and emptiness. If he comes across as needy or is moving way too fast, he is probably projecting his feelings of loss onto you and your relationship. There is no happy ending in this case, so it’s best to cut things off before you both get more emotionally involved.
