How long should a person really wait after they are divorced to start "shopping" for their next victim?

There will be a line-up waiting for you in the next room. It's like winning the lottery,

Personally, I think you need to give the other person time to come to the realization that the relationship is over. Be that a week, month or year. If you have things which need to be done together often (ie children) ask the other person if they are comfortable with you seeing other people. If it was a messy end I would wait a little longer than a month, closer to the year mark. Although, as human beings we can't control our emotional centre so if you happen to find someone, try it out. Just try to not make the other person uncomfortable (ie. snogging in front of them,) I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if your ex did that to you so treat them the way you would want to be treated :)

like one of the others said maybe USE a few at first to get back into the swing of things adn take out any hard feeling you may have that even you are not aware of, do this before you ask the ONE you think is the first one ...this way if he is a great guy you do not mess things up..

but you must have an attorney, so just ask if it is LEGAL and would the judge look at it badly if you go out on a date..if he says no, then go...

and try not to tear the poor guy up from the past 24 yrs of .well nothing ...ease into him before you give him more than he can handle

go for it

good luck

I was going to respond with a venomous retort until I noticed you were a cheesecake fan...that will get you a pass. You're free to jump back in whenever you like, but I recommend a few cathartic sessions to work through some anger and aggressions before proceeding to any marital entanglements. Consider it...therapeutic.Congratulations on the divorce, and best wishes for the future.

No etiquette, it's different for everyone. I think that generally the more time you take to heal and center yourself the better, but I know people who have started dating again fairly soon after and have had successful long-term relationships. If you're just looking to get laid, that might help to ease pain temporarily but I believe that it would make things more difficult for you in the long run. Not to mention the risks involved..

As soon as possible baby! Don't even wait until the divorce is finally. I bet money he's not waiting. Your already broke up so why wait for the paper work to be final. Get some tonight and moan loud!

it all depends if you were the one getting left meaning it was his choice then by all means out out that night and start looking for mister could be right. But if it was your choice to leave him then there must be some good reason for it so by all mean enjoy your self but be safe about it. However if there are children involved here I would wait a few months at least

If meaningless sex is your goal, go for it as soon as you leave the courtroom, sure.

That said, a period of a year is probably best before a relationship. This gives the head and the heart time to heal.

some states dont hold it against a spouse if they r legally seperated at the time of this sex. so u could file for divorce, go find a 'victim', and do him in front of the hubby with no problems from the judge in ur case!! :))

Wow, I guess it all depends.

If you feel you are ready to move on - or have moved on already - then I guess nobody can stop you, nor should they. If you are ready then go for it. Who cares what everyone else thinks. Obviously if you are shopping then let the victims line up.

Maybe get to know them (at least their name) before you sleep with (or marry) them.

GL.

Difine victim for me please.Sounds intresting.And I would do the lawyer in the courtroom after sighing the papers.Providing I found her appealing.
