It must have been interesting sticking your toe in the dating pool. Just as predators can sense blood with vulnerable women, so can women attune to fresh meat. Although predators prey, women snag.. after all the numbers are against them.
And this doesn't mean all women or men.. just a behavior I've noticed over time.
One guy I know never did dating services.. just went out of his way to meet and greet people.. at Starbucks, a smile during the day, learning body language and subtle hints that say more than words.
Like one poster said.. you're recovering from a long term agonizing battle. Let yourself heal.
Personally.. I think that 'man time' might be good. Hang out with guy friends... fathers of the kids you coach. Invite them (and spouses) for a team BBQ.. or something.. a dip in the pool if you have one.
It's no longer about a surviving a vindictive spouse.. it's about emerging as the man you are... becoming whole.
