    Of course it's not wrong to wish it were over with...if you know that's going to happen, might as well get it over so you can move on with your life and do so freely...

    What type of lady to you look for?? The type you like...only you know what type of woman appeals to you with regard to looks, personality, intellect, interests, etc...

    So, what's holding up the divorce??? Do what you need to do to get things moving, so your social life isn't stuck in limbo...

    Happy Samhain!!!

    i think that if you are legally seperated then your not cheating ...however if you feel it is still cheating than that is what it is....what things are you looking for in a mate is what i would look for in a woman some who laughs someone you can trust someone who you can trust with your heart? there is a site called meetup .com and yes you can meet people there but it is in a variety of settings from joining a sports team to going out for dinners with other professionals to singles clubs to interest in pets and your involvement is something that you can control, bit by bit or just have fun it is in every state just google it and get invloved ...but it seems like you need time to be with other people and just be with people and then get comfortable with your self and then think of by meeting people what is attractive to you in a person....good luck hope it helps i think finding what you want or what makes you happy is a start

    Well I think after your divorce give your self a bit of time to look around and find someone you may be interested in. This will be fun for you to try new people! Good luck and be safe out there!

    first can you get her back are do either of you want to? can what went wrong be mended? do either of you want to mend? is her are you're mind permanently made up? are children involve? are you temporarily separated? do you or she want to be with someone els? is dating someone els what you or she wants? does finance play a role in this relationship? can you be sure being with some els will be better or best for some reason? if you can answer these questions, you've solved them on you,re own. and remember everyone who ask these kinds of questions,usually know the answer, or have there mind made up as to what they are going to do about them,they just ask others as a sounding board.this just goes to show you, that every thing you need is in you. its up to you to bring it out

    it is never wrong to want a closed chapter of one's life to end. When your divorce ends? Why concentrate. date them all, all sizes all types. you'll have some really great times and a few awkward moments. You just got out why rush into another.

    Since you're thinking of dating, I'd say, PLEASE complete your divorce. So that you can begin to enjoy your life rather than simply think about it. You'll know when you meet someone who you'll be drawn to. Please ensure that she doesn't drink/smoke either. No point in starting out with a hurdle to deal with.....♥♥
