Hi Butterfli,
My advice is slow down and give yourself time.
I know from all the divorce material I've read that you should give yourself a minimum of a year before you begin dating again. If you give yourself that time, you won't enter into any relationship with too much baggage or cynicism. When you are ready to be in a relationship again, in my opinion, your feelings about falling in love and getting hurt are only normal. If there' s anything I've learned it's that you roll the dice in ANY relationship. You cannot predict if it will work out or if you will get your heart broken. It's a matter of benefit over risk, and generally the benefits outweigh the risk :)
I absolutely agree.
