It's really a mindset, isn't it? Do I want to be in a relationship? Do I want to explore the possibility of being in a relationship? Do I want to run screaming in the other direction like my hair is on fire? Do I want to walk barefoot over broken glass? I mean, what are my choices here on the island of misfit toys?
I'm thankful that I felt over my marriage when I started dating (thanks to the previous years of DBing, reconciliation and then reversal) and that an intact sex drive meant I wasn't willing to sit on the sidelines. Although I've had adventures and lots of ups and downs in my dating life since my divorce, I wouldn't trade it for having sat out on the sidelines all those years.
But dating is just that - dating. You don't have to make a commitment to anyone. You don't have to get involved with anyone you don't want to. Don't be afraid to just dip your toe in the waters before you decide if dating is for you or not.
