@catcantrill: Dating after divorce is a completely different experience than dating in your 20s. Your life is already built. Sometimes there are kids. Sometimes there’s co-parenting. Sometimes there are entire lives to blend. And suddenly you realize… everyone in the dating pool has a backstory. If you’ve dated after divorce, what surprised you the most? #matchmaker #datingcoach #datingtips #datingadvice #fypシ
I think the most successful divorced people in the dating pool are those who know how they contributed to the failure of the marriage and know what to change for their second marriage.

Unless you’ve healed your past, I’ll pass.

While everyone is diving in the pool, I’m suntanning on the pool deck without a care - living my best life! Not sure I ever want to dive in.

It’s such an odd world. After a season of healing I’ve started contemplating what dating looks like. I am successful in my career, I still have six children at home, I don’t have any drama with my ex, and when I look around at the dating pool, I wonder where I fit. Instead of pushing it, I’m just putting myself in proximity. Whatever happens from there happens. I’m more focused on pushing my comfort zone as opposed to forcing a lifelong partnership at this point. I think I will learn a lot about myself just from interacting with others in this new season.

Divorced recently, to me the first marriage is a start up… the second one is a “merger”

Emotional baggage? I have an emotional moving truck, and there’s no way I would park it in someone else’s driveway. The decision has been made. I’m single and staying this way.

Married at 22 divorced at 45, single 4 years. What I have come to realize from the dates that I've had, who mostly have had, what I consider short-term failed relationships over the last 20 to 30 years, we don't understand each other. I have finally gotten over the threshold of feeling an urgency to meet someone and have settle into my bachelor life. Exercising, traveling, and doing whatever I want without having to consider or answer to anyone else.
I'm open to meeting someone but I don't put any energy into it anymore.

I actually have enjoyed dating post divorce a lot more. I find myself focusing on if I enjoy connections a lot more than worrying about impressing.

Give yourself a year to heal, grow. Don’t go date while separated or recently divorced.

Great Piece of wisdom. ✨I had to own that everyone I was going to spend time with was someone's ex-husband. Just admitting that to myself for the first time was a huge eye opener in what I'd accept in my presence or not. ✨

If you’re into the divorce process I don’t get how people can start a new relationship even you had the chance to heal while still married… I’m terrified about dating again even in my mind I want it but feel miles away to give the first step, for instance my business partner kind she’s trying to convince me, but I’m not ready yet

after my divorce I tried frantically to find a woman to fill the void I felt. After a lot of reflection, forgiveness, and taking responsibility I realize I dont have enough time left to do everything I want to get done. Freedom takes a huge burdon off my shoulders.

It’s the lamp theory. When you’re young you can get any lamp at ikea. When you’re older, finding a lamp to fit your place is way harder.

I haven’t had the bad experiences most describe. I did online dating and really only met a few creeps. I did date people in my age range so almost all the men were full grown ups. That matters I believe. I also vetted men thoroughly before going on a date. And I expected them to do the same with me. Maybe that’s part of the secret sauce. The man I love deeply and will marry soon was a match on Hinge. There is hope!

My fault was getting into a relationship with a divorced wife after only 6 months of her divorce. This turned into my first marriage and her second. Now it’s turned into her 2n divorce and my first. We both had baggage and we both still didn’t resolved our baggage.
