You’ve been told before, repeatedly in all likelihood, how you need to get back up on the horse and start dating again after your divorce.. You may have even reached the point where you look at women and see horses instead because you’ve heard it so much. You understand that you need to get back out there and really test the waters. So, what’s stopping you?
The problem is that it isn’t easy to put your heart out there again. Probably because your heart still belongs to someone else. You simply can’t imagine opening up to a new woman while you know your heart belongs to the one you still think of as your wife.
Here are a few bits of advice that might help you take the plunge and get back into dating again – even when your heart really isn’t in it.
Understand that a Date is not a Big Commitment
You’ve just come out of a marriage. While dating might seem like a big deal to you, it isn’t a big commitment to the other person. It’s just a date. One date. No commitment beyond the beginning, middle, and end of the date.
This isn’t a ‘life flashing before your eyes’ kind of moment. What it is is an opportunity to get out of the house and spend the evening with someone else who happens to be of the opposite sex. It doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Just try to relax and enjoy being back in the land of the living and sharing an evening with someone who may at least become a friend over time.
Play the Field a Bit
Dating one person can feel a little bit awkward when you’re trying to avoid commitment in a really big way. So keep your options open and date a few women until you know what you want in the future.
You might decide that one of the women might be worth getting to know a little better in time. On the other hand, you might decide that you’re better off as friends with all of them. But playing the field gives you a real opportunity to figure out exactly what you want before committing to anyone.
Get Your Wife Back
Finally, if you’ve tried dating other women and just can’t seem to stop comparing them to the one that got away, then it’s time to go out and get her back. The simplest solution really is almost always the best.
But, how to get your ex back is another matter altogether. For some couples it takes a little more work than others. What you need above all else is a roadmap to follow that has been successful for other couples in this situation.
