It took me a long time to considering dating. I knew I was not emotionally ready, and feared I would repeat the same mistakes I did in my marriage. I focused on my kids, developed new skills and tried new things, like skydiving and acting. A year ago, I tried online dating and realized I still wasn't ready.. which was annoying because I am older. Thank goodness now I'm more at ease with myself. The better I am about me, the better I can be with another whether it's dating, friendships, etc.
