Dating before D, centralized discussion

[Ready2Change]

I tell my children (16/16/18/19) to date lots of people. They all want the "boyfriend" or "Girlfriend". One boy, one date, and now they are boyfriend/girlfriend. I just don't get it.


As for the married people here, I recommend getting happy "alone" first. Go do things and enjoy other people in group settings. Interact with everyone and maintain your personal boundaries. There is a lot of temptation out their.
You will meet people that want to hook-up. There is plenty of time to date after the D is finalized. When you are comfortable and content being alone, you have healed and will attract much healthier people into your life. Date when you are ready. Date a lot of people. Be open to new things. Date 3 different people during the same week.


The real question is how do you seduce your spouse back (if that is your goal) without practicing new skills and crossing boundaries? It is very complicated.
