Dating After Divorce

admin — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 05:58:00 +0000

One of the main and common reasons of divorces nowadays, whose rate are, by the way, too increased over the last fifteen years and are not decreasing yet, is and remains the failure of two people in working out their differences.
Having gone through a divorce surely implies concerns and fears about beginning another relationship. It’s, actually, natural for negative experiences to bring such consequences and be inhibiting. So, if you are too cautious and prudent about dating someone new, remember that you’re not alone and it’s a normal state of mind after what you’ve been through. There’s nothing wrong in it.
But the solution wouldn’t be not dating at all or taking refuge at a monastery. Thus, you will only do yourself harm, because later you will realize you crave for human contact. Indeed, you should have a rest from dating and reflect about your past experience and your mistakes in it, but you shouldn’t exaggerate either.
Here are some tips and advices for you to follow after having suffered a divorce and wanting to be successful in further dating. Reading these guidelines won’t make you immediately find someone to get married to, but it will improve your dating experience.

1. A date doesn’t necessarily imply a marriage.
Usually, after sharing for years everything they have with a person, people get used to the marriage outlook and they hardly let it go once they’re separated from their ex-partner. That’s why when you begin to date someone else, you might feel that you will marry that person some day. A date doesn’t necessarily imply a marriage, so before falling victim to this way of thinking, just remember this. That’s why, while dating, experience new things and simply have fun, don’t feel too many obligations!
2. Give yourself enough time to breathe.
Don’t move on too quickly once your marriage is over. Give yourself time to breathe and to emotionally and mentally digest your divorce. If your divorce has just been finalized it doesn’t mean you should be in the clubs that same night, looking for a new life partner. Just go out with your friends, have some fun, but don’t start searching for “that someone”.
Every person has its own specific length of time to wait before beginning a new relationship, after having gone through a divorce. So you must feel yourself the very precise moment when you are emotionally ready to date with a new person and when you are capable of handling a new relationship with someone.
3. Be sincere and open.
You might feel tempted to hide details and circumstances of your divorce from your future dates, but you shouldn’t. Don’t lie about it, just tell them what you feel easy when talking about. They should know that you have been through a marriage before, that you have divorced and that you’re moving on now. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should give out all the unnecessary details to your date or pour out your soul to someone you don’t really know yet. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find someone who has had a similar experience, someone you have a lot of common with.
4. Don’t fall into old patterns.
When you start a new date, try not to make the same old mistakes you have made with your ex. Retaining old patterns won’t lead to any good, it will only cause you problems and harm. Remember who you really are, not who you used to be with your ex-partner and show yourself to your present or future date, start a new life. In case you don’t, you will only move on from a divorce to another.
5. Leave your baggage aside.
If your ex has caused you problems and resentment, that doesn’t mean every person of the opposite sex is like him/her. Don’t pour out your anger and deceivements from your ex-partner on your dates, it will only make things worse and you will never have a healthy relationship. So just forget about the divorce and leave all your anger aside. Your date isn’t guilty for whatever has happened to you, you should start anew.
Five Indications that You Aren’t Ready to Date:
Do you have doubts in whether you have moved too fast to date after your divorce and do you think you need more time for yourself? Read these indications that you aren’t ready to date yet:
1. You still have pictures of your ex-spouse in your bedroom, and you still don’t feel like taking them from there.
2. When dating someone else, you always take your ex-partner with you.
3. It’s very hard for you to go on a date, because every time you do it, you feel emotionally weak after it.
4. Even if you’re divorced, you feel like cheating on your ex when you date someone else.
5. You try to compare your present date’s good and bad qualities with your ex-partner’s.

Whether you are in a marriage or not, this is very important and should be taken care of if you are under any sort of suspicion that your partner may be cheating on you. A person who cheats is normally someone who plays or fools around with another guy or gal when they are going out with you also. While the idea may sound harmless, it is actually quite painful and can lead to you being left out on the street for good. Sure, the idea does sound very harmless if you aren’t married, but marriages are broken up every day due to cheating and there are specific ways that you can use to catch someone if they’re cheating on you.

A few things that you can look out for that may seem suspicious are whether or not your partner is just as interested in you as he or she was in the beginning of the relationship. While, this can sometimes just be a temporary feeling between you and your partner, it is a warning sign. Reminder that there are a bunch of other signs to look out for and this one doesn’t naturally mean that your partner is cheating on you. Many people like to be left alone when they are in the mode of cheating with someone. If your partner goes out and asks you to go with them and you say no, than the odds go up that you are being played around with. Your partner who wants to be left alone usually wants to be left alone for a reason, whether he or she is waiting for their other lover to come over or to go out with that specific person is a possible reason. These are definitely the first signs that your spouse or lover is cheating on you.

The best thing you can do to prevent any further happenings or to ease up the pain in your heart is to discuss this with your partner. As much as it hurts to know that you are being cheated on or that you suspect that you may be but really don’t know for sure, talking is the best thing to do.

In A Marriage, is it alright to “Play Hard to Get”?

admin — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:07:03 +0000

I thought this would be a funny topic to add in our archive of articles mainly because this really does work. Making your spouse wait for something he or she is really interested in allows that specific person to await something that may be very pleasuring over time. When we hear the phrase “Playing Hard To Get”, we think about high school drama and the popular girls who think they are all that and also think that they can get any guy they want, yet they play hard to get, even with the popular guys so that they can enjoy their company even more than usual. So, those annoying, yet popular girls in high school that…
Yes, that’s right, think they’re all that, might be on to something very natural and smart to the marriage world. Heck, they may be total geniuses, because the idea of this little game actually does work and will get your spouse going.

If you are very intimate or not too intimate, it really doesn’t matter, playing hard to get will really get your spouse thinking. It may actually seem that your spouse may think that you are no longer interested in you anymore, but that’s the whole point of this little game. In fact, some people may be smarter than that and catch on quickly, because if they know that your love is so strong and you have engaged in heavy intimacy before, why would you play hard to get all of the sudden? Well, I did say that the “popular” girls in high school may be total geniuses, but I suppose they could settle for “at least I tried”. If you can catch your spouse off guard and send him thinking into another dimension then great job, but if he or she catches on quickly, you can then give your spouse a special treat anyway. Good luck with your ventures, hope this article helped you all; it certainly was very fun to write.
