...when you are truly ready to look for "the one"? I'm talking emotionally too. My ex got married this year and we had been separated for 3 years. I left HIM yet he already has someone. Of course he put me down and talked to me like I was stupid so maybe my emotional healing is taking longer. Don't know. I've dated guys, met some interesting ones and some not so interesting. lol I have made a dramatic change in my personality over the past 4 years. I used to be so shy and backward but now I'm outgoing and stronger, more confident in myself. I could stand to lose about 20 pounds but oh well...that's not what makes me who I am. It has taken me 30 years to figure that one out! lol
I feel like I'm ready but my mom says I'm not, that I have my house to deal with and school. But if I wait to date until I get everything I want done to my house, I'll never date! lol I'm not a needy person, would just like to have a meaningful relationship with a decent guy. Are they still out there? lol

Yes, decent guys are out there.
I think I will steal Taina's quote from another thread:
"YOUR HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE DEPENDENT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S. YOU MUST CREATE YOUR OWN.
WHEN YOU CAN DO THAT, THEN YOU'RE READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT."
Don't base your life on that of your exh. Like the other poster said, he may be headed to divorce number two.
I think you just need to keep expanding your horizons and then you will be ready and "caught"!! I don't think you really "look for the one" - I think he finds you and sees you as Mrs.RightForHim. You will find it - just have to be patient!!
