I am newly divorced. I'm not the type to go to bars looking for someone. I'm probably more of a homebody.

Hi Elsa!

PG appreciates your response too!

It's a brand new year so the way I look at it...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! :)

Yeah, anything is possible.

And if we stay busy and alert and friendly with other people, maybe good things will happen.

May I ask you a few questions? How long were you married? Are there children involved? How long have you been divorced? Why are you in such a hurry to date again without taking the time to get to know yourself and fully understand and learn from past mistakes?

I sound very critical, I realize that. I had to learn the hard way and sure don't want to see anyone else have to go through that.

When you are ready to date...remember than online dating is worse than blind dating because you are dealing with a stranger in every sense of the word. They can tell you anything and you're taking a big risk.

Thank you for your concern. I truly appreciate it. I was married for 30 years. We have been separated for just over a year so I have had time to get to know myself. I just turned 61. My children are grown and behind me 1000% and I'm ready to get on with my life. My ex knew what we had to do to make our marriage work but he wasn't interested enough. So now, I welcome my new life.

It is good to see you are moving on with your life; however, I have to agree with Misty that you want to ensure you are not dating on the rebound and are truly over your marriage. One year is really not nearly long enough to have put 30 years of marriage behind you.

You want to ensure you don't make the same mistakes again.

Oh I'm over it. He wouldn't have sex with me for 15 years. He's lied to me and I found out that the IRS has a lien on his share of the property for taxes he avoided paying. Ohhhhhh I'm over it!

Just wanted to chime in and say good luck to you! I admire your willingness to embrace your new status and get out and date again. Although it may sound "quick", you never know what place someone is in BEFORE the end actually is the end, if that makes sense.

I'd be interested to hear what you experience if you try online dating.
