I don’t date the separated period. And I rarely date the divorced – they usually have too many kids, issues with the ex, etc etc. It’s boring and cramps my single-never-married style. I am 38 so my options are proverbially limited, but I try to make up for it by dating ever younger and younger men. I haven’t yet got up the nerve to pay for a subscription to AgeMatch (I’ve read mixed reviews of it, so I don’t know if it is worth the fee), but I have adjusted down my acceptable age range to include all the twentysomethings. They have fewer issues.

I honestly believe that ANY and EVERY person should learn how to be alone again after a divorce. Just so that they realize that when they find someone special again they cherish that person more than they normally would. I’ve tried dating the whole “I’m in the process of a divorce” man and you need to ask yourself and him how long the divorce process has really been going on? That will say a lot. There are too many of us that want to help everyone and we need to start taking care and looking out for ourselves first instead of second, third, or even further down the line. Just remember to put your feelings first since no one else is.

For what it’s worth, I doubt that you need to be with someone for over a year at 40 to commit to mariage. That’s just me.
