So I'm ready to go out and date again after the break up of my marriage but I'm not sure how to go about it any advice?

I suggest you just get your toes wet for a little before jumping it... I guess you being a member here will help you out. Stick to the forums and start "shopping" Ha ha. Put yourself in areas where you're most likely to find someone suitable for you too. Surround yourself with people you want in your life. Have fun is the main thing. If you not having fun skip a long. Best of Luck to you! flowerforyou

Go out with your friends. Get used to being out again and being free. I had a hard time too. Took me a few months before I realized all I was doing was locking myself in my house waiting for something to come to me. Just go be active. You don't have to go out looking to find a guy every place or every night. Just go. If someone catches your eye, or if you catch theirs it's "game on". But the big step is just letting go and gettting back out.

I've been wondering the same thing too. So locking myself in the house won't work? Crap. laugh

To date after divorce, just date as you did before divorce. The difference is that you will know what to look for or what not to look for.

I was very lucky in that situation -- after my divorce, I had two close female friends who couldn't wait to introduce me to every girl they knew....

Of course, times have changed, and I no longer have that option available to me....!

Deep breath, look at yourself in the mirror, smile, PUT YOUR FEARS BEHIND YOU! And just do it!:thumbsup:
It is almost like quitting smoking. It is the first step being the hardest one.
We all get settled into "familiar ground" and it makes dating hard because of the unknown qualities we face.
Take it slow and do not let yourself be rushed or hurried. Moving along at a relaxed pace will help keep you from making mistakes. Be clear about what you are looking for and remember this! DO NOT LET THE SINS OF YOUR PAST MARRIAGE FOLLOW YOU INTO THE NEXT RELATIONSHIP!!!!!!
I stopped dating divorced women because of constantly subconsciously having the ex husband's faults applied to me. I can at least speak for myself in that I resent utterly being compared to ex-anything for any reason and that is a warning sign to men if you even bring up the ex unless asked about him.
You are moving into new ground so revel in it. Don't let the past get dragged along because it will spoil your fun!
Carpe Diem Baby!
