Dating Tips for After Divorce

Real Questions

Brian: My name is Brian and I am from Centerville, Ohio. In my mid-40’s I’ve been recently divorced. And I was wondering what kinds of things that I have to look forward to in the dating world and also if you have any suggestions.

Pio Andreotti: Brian, the first thing I would say is to recognize that going back on the dating scene after such a long time is going to be a period of readjustment. Be honest with yourself over what you want and what you are looking for in your relationships. In terms of suggestions try tapping into your friends and your social networks. These are the people who have known you for a long time and might be able to help you figure out what might be the best situation for you in your life right now. Also, remember that divorce really isn’t an event—it’s a process so there’s going to be a lot of feelings that keep popping up and a lot of things that keep coming up from your previous relationships; that’s okay. Recognize them and deal with them as they occur.
