Dating Tips After Divorce

Dating Tip #1: Do Start Slow

Do be gentle with yourself and don’t aim to go on a 10 dates in 2 weeks. This is not the sorority or fraternity competitive dating days anymore. You do want to make sure you are meeting a lot of other people. While you will eventually want to go on a number of dates, venture back into dating gently. A great way to start is to attend cocktail and dinner parties at friends’ houses. You will start to meet other singles casually that way.

Dating Tip #2: DO Start a Lot of Conversation

You want to start a lot of comfortable conversations. While you are online at the deli counter getting your lunchtime sandwich just ask the people in front of you and behind you what they are getting. You can then ask them what they like and what they recommend there. As you practice posture, confident, and comfortable small talk conversations with strangers, you are practicing date conversations without the social pressure of a first date.

Dating Tips #3: Do Flirt

Before you even venture out on your several first dates, you want to simply start practicing flirting. How are your body flirting signal skills? Wherever you go, just start practicing light harmless flirting with the other people. You can practice this with cute girl who serves you your low café drip coffee in the morning. And you can lightly banter and flirt with the butcher who packages up your lamb chops at the grocery store.

By going slowly, practicing small talk conversations, and lightly flirting often, you’ll develop your dating confidence after your divorce. Then when you meet someone you want to date, you’ll be already ready to date with success.
