D date is definitely set, I will have the decree in hand and will file with the clerk before we leave the courtroom. Not sure if it is immediately at that time but in my mind once I leave the courtroom on 4/12 it is a done deal.

For the most part my profile is ready to do. I need to add 3 more pictures and I should be good. The biggest dilemma I have had is whether or not to include my kids and me as one of the pictures. I have read a lot on the subject and asked around as well. I think it comes down to personal preference. When I first thought about my initial stance was I would not include my kids. Over time though I have started to warm up to it simply because they are a large part of my life and anyone I meet in the future is obviously going to need to be onboard with it as I will be assuming she has kids as well.

I am also a little nervous about how the dynamic will change between my W and I when start dating as well. Only because I don't want a good co-parenting relationship to go south when a new person is introduced. I have friends that had a very amicable D go in the toilet once they started dating. IMO my W asks my opinion (she just sent me an email asking me who her renters insurance was through) and relies on me way too much for someone who is Ding me. Not sure how she is going to react.

So I guess I don't know when I will put myself out there again but I think it will happen some time before summer starts.
