Dating post divorce

It’s a scary thought for me as I begin to think about my future after my divorce is finalized. Having been with the same guy since I was 17 makes it all the more intimidating for me. I know I’ll find myself through it all and learn more about myself but I hope I am not being too unrealistic in my expectations and what I hope to find.

Just a completely random thought.

Just take it slow and get to know yourself... the new you, as it were. I went through it in my early 50s and it was a confusing but fun time where I met lots of people, dated, and kept my expectations more as "we'll see" rather than a list of high expectations.

Do know what you want and don't want, but don't red flag too much or you'll end up disappointed and frustrated. Enjoy being single and take the time to get to know yourself.
