I'm finally single again. I don't want to date a million men but hate loneliness. How should I proceed?

When you say you hate the loneliness, how long have you ever been alone or single? I'm asking because some people never give themselves a chance to adjust and actually learn to be at peace with themselves and enjoy some alone time. From my personal experience, I was very lonely for the first year after I got divorced (ended an 18 year marriage). I had a couple of wise friends convince me to be patient and not rush into another relationship and they assured me that if I waited, the loneliness would subside and I might actually enjoy being alone. Fast forward three years later and I'm in a healthy relationship with a wonderful woman and I'm not rushing to slip a ring on her finger nor have her move in because I can't be alone for five minutes. I'm a better boyfriend because I'm not all lonely/needy/clingy and happier than I've ever been. Just a suggestion...try to casually date or like another reader suggested, spend more time with family and friends and try being "you" for a while, not part of a couple. You may find after the initial adjustment period that you like being alone with you.

Just recently divorced, don't want to date a million men, but hate to be alone? Spend time reconnecting and strengthening bonds with your family and friends! That way you aren't focusing on the wrong thing (random guys) when your kids need you, and if you happen to meet someone along the way, it's a bonus!

It may sound strange, but you can meet "GOOD" people on the internet in addition to the scum and freaks. It gives you a chance to "weed them out" if you will, by chatting and learning their respective personalities before actually dating. If you do try this, remember to never give out personal information before getting to know them. Also, that all important "first meeting", needs to be in a crowded, safe area. Make sure to recognize him first, as if he lied to you by sending a 10 y/o picture or something, you can just turn around and go home..:) Good Luck.

why not re-invent yourself. take some classes in things that interest you do some of the other things you enjoy

when the time comes for a new man in your life you'l know it. Don't be in a hurry for anything that is worth having

Well when you find a man that accepts your children and also accepts you make you happy then that'll be a guy to be with. Until then have some time bond don't rush yourself.

A lot of of individuals discover that there are always challenges in their course and that luck does not prefer them at important .
