How to get back into dating after a long break


Some begin immediately generally these are men , while others can take several years. Coming out of a long relationship is traumatic, no matter how amicably it ends. It takes time for you to come to terms with that. Many who return to dating quickly do so purely because being on their own scares them. Have your life in order, not a mess. Do you have a job, a clean place to live, interests that take you outside yourself and a circle of friends?

Eighteen months after my marriage ended, I jumped into a heady, sexually intense year-long relationship with a fellow writer and parent who was 20 years older.

Dating is different when you’re at the mid-life stage. It’s not about finding someone to share your firsts with: your first kid, your first home, or your first job promotion. For me, getting back into dating after my nearly year marriage came to an end was about finding someone to share my nexts and lasts with. For the last five years of my first marriage, I was struggling with sadness, frustration, and anger. My husband and I were having serious conflicts about parenting issues.

He was the “good cop” dad, which positioned me as the “bad cop” mom. He also was a homebody who didn’t want me stepping out as a leader, writer, speaker, and career go-getter.
