The same is true after a divorce—if and when you start dating again is a totally individual choice, and there’s no right way to go about it. To illustrate how much the timeframe can vary, we talked to nine women about how long it took them to take that scary leap of faith. 'I Couldn't Get On Tinder Fast Enough. But An Actual Date. ' “I got on Tinder right away, because I had found out my ex-husband cheated on me. I didn’t actually go on a date, though, until about four to five months after my divorce was finalized. It ended up being a total disaster—the guy was criticizing how I ate pizza—so I had to cut that nightmare short and have a friend come pick me up. Another date I found out the guy was on probation, so it hasn’t been great yet. This content is imported from Giphy.

It gave me more time to get to a better place mentally and emotionally and sort through and address the feelings I was having. When I had initially gotten on Tinder, that was more about instant validation. I have a kid, and I’m at a place now where I really want to thoroughly vet someone before I got out with them. It’s important to listen to your gut with dating, and not mask your feelings by diving into dating before you’re ready.” — Derika, 21, Atlanta, GA. 'My Divorce Wasn't Even Official' This content is imported from Giphy. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. “I started dating before my divorce was even final. Looking back, I wouldn’t recommend that. A lot of that was age—I was in my mid-twenties and I wanted to go out and do what my girlfriends were doing and date like them. My ex and I were separated, and I wanted to put the whole thing behind me. I had moved to D.C., and guys I dated were perplexed that I could be so young and already have been married and divorced. On one date, I told the guy and he freaked out. He said ‘I can’t handle that,’ and then just up and left. "I met someone pretty soon after my divorce was final and that turned into a long-term relationship. I think it’s important to take a step back after a divorce, whether it was your idea or not, to evaluate what happened and take responsibility for your role. I didn’t want to repeat some of those negative actions in my new relationship.” — Frances, 38, Alexandria, VA. 'Right After My Divorce Was Finalized—And It Was So Empowering' “I got divorced about nine years ago, and I started dating as soon as I got divorced. I’m really glad I started right away. I think when you’re the one filing and you want to get divorced, it can be an empowering time. Seeing myself through someone else’s eyes was a breath of fresh air. I was unhappy in my marriage, so to go from that to having someone treating you kindly and complimenting you was so nice. This content is imported from Giphy. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. "I’ve now been with the same person for the past eight years, and we’re recently engaged. Dating has been a really positive experience for me. Once you have your confidence back and you feel comfortable being seen out with someone else, you’re ready to start dating.” — Heather, 43, Miami, FL. 'It Took Me Nearly A Decade' “I didn’t start dating seriously until about six or seven years after my divorce. My kids were in elementary school when we separated, and I wanted to wait until they were grown until I really started to focus on myself. My biggest fear was having a different boyfriend every Christmas. It was also my second divorce and I felt like I needed to regroup emotionally to figure out why I had made some bad or hasty decisions with relationships. "After waiting several years to get serious, I was definitely ready to get back out there. Some people are ready right after a divorce and for others it takes longer, but I think as long as you’re not doing it out of revenge at an ex or because of loneliness, then you’re on the right track. My test was ‘when am I ready to share myself with someone else?’ It’s not just about what you want, but what you can give to a relationship.” — Jackie, 54, Greenville, SC. 'I Was Alone For A Year' “I was alone for a year before the divorce was final, and during that time, the thought of dating was overwhelming. But recently I went on a tour of beautiful homes with friends, and we saw this incredible bathroom with a claw foot tub, fireplace and view of the lake out the window, and it was so romantic. I thought, ‘I’d like to stay here with someone special.’ About a month later, 18 months after my divorce, I signed up for a dating profile. I’ve started to get my feet wet again, and I’m excited. "I’m really glad I waited as long as I did. Now I’m dating and am not focused on trying to escape or distract myself. I think that makes me good company and a great date. I spent my single time volunteering, reflecting, getting my mind in a good spot, and asking myself tough questions. A few friends were pushing me to get out there sooner, but I knew it wasn’t the right time yet and I didn’t want to rush. When you’re older, you feel like waiting might mean you’re missing things, but you have to be ready.” — Judy, 57, Racine, WI. 'The Second Our Relationship Felt Truly Over' “I started dating about six months after our separation and then our divorce become final a few years later. I had known the relationship was long over, so for me, it was the right time. I trust how I feel about things and when people presented themselves and it felt right, I trusted my intuition. My ex also started dating before me, and that opened the door for me, too. I think it’s important to honor any feelings you’re having and process those first, so they don’t interfere with your next relationships. If the motivation is to get back at someone, or you’re doing it out of pain or fear, it’s not settling yourself up for success.” — Julie, 48, Leander, TX. This content is imported from Giphy.
