If you have been able to get good counseling and feel that you are ready to date again, the next step is to find the right date to ease you back into that world of romance. Right in this sense means someone who won’t be turned off by the fact that you are a divorcee. This person should also have the potential to be a good partner eventually. If you are middle-aged, you may want to ask yourself what age bracket your ideal date should be in. If you are already in your 50s and above, that also applies. Identifying the right age for a prospective date is important because you definitely want someone who is mature enough for a committed relationship so that if you marry him or her, the relationship won’t wind you back up in divorce court.
The nice thing about getting to date again after a divorce is that you now have the chance to make a fresh start. You can start to find reasons to smile again even if you are still looking for a new significant other. And your future may start to look brighter as well because you now know that you have what it takes to be a good partner in any relationship you enter in the near and distant future.
