I've been approached with this question by both men and women. Sometimes, they're still in the process of separating, perhaps not even divorced yet, having just emerged from abusive marriages or dead bedrooms spanning years. Yet, they're already wanting to know how to go about dating.

TAKE YOUR TIME

Please, for the love of yourself and everyone else, take some time to be alone, figure out what went wrong in your marriage, and take responsibility for how your choices and actions contributed to your previous relationship breakdown.

HEAL

Carrying deep emotional scars demands patience and nurturing to heal. Sign up for therapy, hire a relationship coach, and look into doing some inner work to discover your core relationship wounds. Indulge in hobbies, establish self-care rituals, and prioritize personal growth.

FIND YOURSELF

Most importantly, find out who YOU are without a partner before filling the hole in your life and bed with another warm, available body. As you re-enter the dating scene post-divorce, approach it with compassion and understanding. Avoid inadvertently treating potential partners as rebounds or emotional crutches. Instead, prioritize sincerity, recognizing that most individuals are seeking genuine connections after enduring their own heartbreaks. Remember, to find love, one must first embody it.

FAITH

Have faith that the right person will come into your life when you've truly embraced readiness. In the meantime, focus on self-discovery and embracing solitude. We all carry scars from our pasts, but it's our growth and resilience that shape us into better partners for future relationships.
