Kimmerz, I am echoing what I thnk Snodderly said to you - you are probably not yest ready for a relationship. Also, although I know people who have met through on line dating, you have to meet up with a lot of people, some of them not at all what they seem, in order to find someone.

Most of us are extremely lonely at first after our spouses leave, and we feel trashed. However, I know very few people here who have hooked up into a successful new relationship in the early stages of post divorce. if you think about it as if you were thinking about someone else, how likely is that? You are raw, hurting and alone. not really in a good place to find the man of your dreams.

Whatever the guys here say, I do believe it is harder for women to find a new partner - not impossible, just more difficult. We have a far more restricted age range for one thing - it is fine for a guy to be dating someone young enough to be his daughter, but not really with a woman!! And so on. But the important thing is to learn to be alone and like it. You can do it. Otherwise you will remain dependent on men for validation. Do you really want that? Self validate, and you will be happier, and dare I say it, more likely to have a successful relationship, because you need it less.

I hope I do not seem unfeeling, but I have walked this road, and know how hard it is to be alone after a long and loving marriage.
