  • You‘re so right... I tried dating a little prematurely... realized I wasn’t ready. Now I’ve started figuring out so many things about myself that had been lost.  

    And I’m in no rush... it’s bound to find me. And in the meantime, I’m having the time of my life.

    Thanks for your words.. you‘re an inspiration!

    Looking forward to keeping in touch.

  • thank you so much ... I have been divorced for 3 years... haven’t date anyone seriously... and have and still am taking time to rediscover ME.

    Thanks for your words of wisdom... I will continue to focus on me ... and let nature take it’s course.

  • Hi
    Advice...hmmm. I’m never good at listening to my gut but I’ve learned to over the years. First, sorry about your divorce. How long has it been?
    There is one thing I know, it’s too soon to date if it’s your sole purpose in life. It’s lonely being a single woman post divorce but for sure it all backfires if you‘re not ready. I tried to date several months after my divorce and it was horrible. I needed to take time to just figure “me” out.

    I took the advice of my father, who died in 2005. He said “Stop looking and enjoy your life. He will find you“. I’m impatient, so I didn’t listen right away. About a year after he died, I was sick of dating the wrong men (I tended to find men who had big egos)...so I stopped. This past summer I reconnected with a man I knew several years ago. We were at a point 4 years ago where dating wasn’t an option—he was going thru a divorce and I was reeling from rotten dating experiences. So, we met this summer after keeping in touch for 4 years. We met for one drink and that night lasted 8+ hours. He’s my soulmate...I adore him.  

    My advice after that long winded story? Take time for YOU. A man won’t fit in your life if you‘re still not at a point where divorce is long behind you.

  • Hi Cheryl  

    I read your comment to D. Matthews (3 things men hate)... what would be a piece of advice you can offer a single mom, midway thru the hump of finding herself again, after divorce?
