How quickly after divorce do people start dating again?
A question many divorcees ask themselves. Divorce is very rarely easy and at least one party (if not both) is bound to feel lonely and a desire to get life back on track.
But how long should I leave it? What’s socially acceptable?
Well, if you are the party that didn’t run off with that Italian waiter or your secretary then the answer is – whenever you feel ready for it.
‘Well when will I feel ready for it and how will I know?’ I hear you say. The answer lies within YOU and should certainly not e forced. Trust me, you will know.
As a guide these are current typical trends for Western divorcees:
1 month: 13.1%
3 months: 21.8%
6 months: 29.7%
1 year: 11.9%
straight away: 23.5%
It depends very much on your situation, but one thing you MUST remember is that you should never feel bad about dating again – you are free remember!
DO remember that you are probably a different person to who you once were before and during your marriage, and therefore I advise that you keep relationships casual until you get to know yourself again and then only get more romantically involved once you know you are with someone you like and you know they like you.
