blue636 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Some of you are familiar with my situation, most of you probably are not. Anyhow, I've split from my wife and it seems that, although I am enjoying all the dating I'm doing now, it isn't working out. How long does it usually take before you are really ready to date again? Most of the girls I've been seeing don't last anymore than 3-4 dates because of the feelings I still have inside me. I must've been an aweful date to most of them. How do you know when you're ready to start dating again? I think I was just looking for some company rather than an actual girl to date.
spiceman Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah, seperated or divorced? Next, how long where you with you wife? Keep in mind that you now have to get used to other women and defferent behavior. Hang in there cheif, it will get easier!

I think I was just looking for some company rather than an actual girl to date. How long have you & your wife been apart? Obviously the feelings for your ex will last for a while. Likely they will fade gradually. In the meantime, company in the context of platonic friendship certainly can be enjoyable too. It is from this this friendship that love grows. Just be honest with them about your feelings. In my case, I was divorced approximately 2 years when I felt ready to start dating again. I cannot really describe any particular "feeling." I had been on a vacation road trip to Myrtle Beach, enjoying the weather & "scenery" (LOL). On the way home, I started thinking how much more enjoyable the trip would have been with a lady friend, & felt perhaps I had been solo & celibate long enough, & was ready to try again. I had known Gina as a friend for a while, & a few months later encountered her at church one weekend when I was in town. After church, we went out to lunch, & then spent the afternoon together talking. Before I knew it, we had a long-distance relationship going, & I was engaged in a job search in order to relocate. Incidentally, all of this was completely unexpected. It simply happened. I just knew it was the right thing. _______________________________ Fight Crime! Shoot Back!
