Goof: You can DO it!
Original Poster: You can too ! But my advice is listen to the Goofster and take some time off for introspection. I took a year and learned a lot about myself and about what i did and didn't want in a future partner. |

Just don't listen to your hormones. Whatever you do. They're evil . Realized this since being a teen. Hormones are just a trickery into sex.

Just leaving out a long term relationship myself. 20 year marriage. It is a little scary, but rather be scared about something new that could be the best thing that ever happened to me, than be miserable with the past. I don't want a new relationship. I have never been a single adult. So I am definitelt taking my time and learning who I really am. Got married when I was 19. I am looking to meet some really nice decent men to talk to and feel what it is like to interact and connect with a man that is real. And I would like to meet women to make friends with and relate to and connect with and share and give support.

Dating again after a LTR ends is a minefield of (on the whole) a series of continual eye-openers – some good, some not so good. I didn’t realise how much the ‘goal posts’ had changed when I started dating again.
My advice, if the breakup was amicable, get the ball rolling via dating/social networking sites. If it wasn’t, take some time out until you’re ready. |

I have been going through and reading everyone's advice on going from a LTR to being single and/or dating again. I was married for 23 years and with my ex for 24 years. We recently separated 8 months ago. I am glad there is some place where I can mingle with others and get some advice on how to move forward. God knows I really need it right now.

yeah single is lonely even if you have kids parents need loving to but I am glad that I am not jumping into another rlationship 8 months with no sex is worth it because I don't want to end up with another broken heart so I decided forgt men none of my kids dad's pay child support so I thought what should I do now? Welll being I jumped from relationship to relationship in the past I decided I need to do something worth while for me so why not go to college and do something I love and well I always wanted to be a teacher I am successful and mature and smart so I have three kids attending college and flirting online never been asked on a date and doesn't bother me at all :) I am a very happy mother and my kids are my sunshine sometimes that's all I need better than drama relationships maybe one day though marriage would be nice :)

I dated right after my divorce was final. I thought it was Ok to do so, because my exhusband had dated during the last 2 years of our marriage. Best way to move on is to meet someone new you like and enjoy dating.

If your gonna jump right into dating after a long term relationship, just put some thought into it befor doing so. sometimes its better to fight for what youve already created with someone rather than throw it away and try to start something new.

give up and buy a kitten or a puppy I did what u are talking about twice - started dating after a long marriage and later again after a LTR that I had after my marriage disassterous so far Ima committed singleton warning warning will robinson - the guys don't change much from the teenage years - they tend to misrepresent their intentions to get in your pants and then gossip about you like school boys - the double standards still exists - they call you a slut if you sleep with them and a ho if you won't - they complain about you making them wait for sex but then ditch you after one night if you don't play the make 'em wait game. so it's their own fault that we make them wait I love you guys but it is what it is being married or in an LTR will make you temporarily forget about these male foibles and you will think you are dealing honestly on the first few dates as a newly singlton - I REPEAT - that is a mistake...review the high school rules and all your mama warned you about the boys - as they have not outgrown these things .....then go have fun...'cos gosh we do love the buggers I disagree. Most men have been raised by women. So if you do not like the way you are treated by men then change the way you teach us when we're at your knee. |
