Actually, having been divroced for a year is just about the right amount of time for him to start dating again.
And Mark, the fact that you have a child might be more appealing to women that already have children themselves. I usually look for single Dads because not only can they identify with being a single parent, but it also tells me that they are not necessarily looking to have more kids.
A good OLD website to try for single parents is: http://www.singleparentmeet.com/
Usually the adjustment period after divorce trauma (whether you are the "leaver" or the "leavee") is between two and five years, depending somewhat on the amount of pre-grieving you've experienced. Some people begin the emotional journey when they realize the marriage is dead -- sometimes well before they mention the word "divorce" to their spouse. Regardless it is a process and meeting someone online or in RL, I prefer not to spend my time initially talking about his marriage/divorce. You would have to in this scenario because he is "newly divorced" with a small child.
He's been a single dad for a year. Divorces sometimes take a while to get done when you have children involved, my ex and I were divorced fairly quickly. He moved out in June of 98, we went to court in December of 98, our divorce was final in January of 99 and it was absolute in April of 99. That was with he and I deciding everything on our own and going to a mediator, who knows how long they have been seperated and in the divorce process.
It may take some 2-5 years to truly be okay to move on after a divorce. If he didn't say a year, I'd say I'd be leery, if it was a month from seperating, or still close to the time of the seperation than yeah I wouldn't probably think he was "ready" and I wouldn't want ot be a rebound. But a year? I think that is a good amount of time to heal oneself and we don't even know why they divorced, there doesn't ALWAYS have to be drama surrounding it.
I think your profile is well written.
