I`ve been divorced for 3 months, on my own for 5 months. Is it too early to start dating?
I`ve been divorced for 3 months, on my own for 5. Is it too early to start dating?
is there a guideline on when it is appropriate time to start dating without people pointing fingers at you? There is a guy who is interested in me, and I am in him, but I am so afraid of people`s judgement, that I am asking him to wait a few months, but he thinks I am not being reasonable... Is it cruel to make him wait? Should I just give it a shot and not care about what others are saying, or should I let him go? At this point, I am not sure if I am thinking of going out with him due to ''loneliness'' or if it is because I truly am ready? I am confused! please, feedback!!!! thanks so much!

1. Go out and enjoy yourself.
2. Nobody's pointing fingers at you (I hope not!)
3. Why do you think others are disrespecting you like that?
4. Its cruel to keep a guy waiting if he really is interested in you, but its cruel for you to feel ashamed of being lonely and needing companionship.
5. Don't commit to anything, just go out and enjoy yourself.
The more you shut yourself in, the less self-respect you have. Please go out there and just enjoy being you. This is your life, your business. You're free to date. Go live your life.

Hey Me. I have found that after my divorce, going out with friends helped lessen the issue of loneliness. Also keep in mind that the first few people you are going to date are pretty much rebound dates. You didn't say how long you had been married but after a divorce it's pretty scary to go out and date because your looking for companionship and the dating world is just scary in general. What would be wrong with going out with this guy as a friend and see where it goes? I like the ideas that softtouchmale has listed. Don't worry about people pointing fingers at you. Your divorced and you have a right to life your life how you choose. Dating 3 months after your divorce is much better than getting married 3 months after your divorce. I would wait until you feel that you are ready to get back into the dating world.

There is no time limit of when you can start dating after a divorce. As if the divorce doesn't take enough out of a person. You get out there and start dating! Anyone who has negative things to say, don't tell them.
Live your life the way you want to, not the way others think you should.

well considering that you are divorced it clearly means that the past is the past. get out there and have fun dating. i wouldnt advise to go looking for anything serious to start off, but see whats out there. sitting around doing nothing will not help the situation. hope this helps.
