What to expect? sel74: I am a soon to be divorced (17 weeks to go) father of two girls ages 7 and 3. My question is after hitting rock bottom with my life weeks ago with everything that is going on I have since turned the corner and look forward to becoming single again and getting on with my life.
I would like to know when/what is an appropriate time frame to start dating again. I don't want to jump in head first but I really miss the female companionship that I have been missing for a long time.
Thanks to anyone who reads this and replys to my first post on OJar.

Me dating someone else to my Daughter was a "huge" thing at first...
So think about that first...Even though your kids do not control your life...LOL
Pre-Teens anyway...LOL
For me I guess I didn't want to make someone my "rebound" chick...
So I waited a time to heel
You can have the company of women without per se "Dating" them...
A lot of women are into that
Determine what you want and then go that route ya know...
As far as the rest
Only you can determine when the time is "right" for you to date again...
Just pay Special Attention to those Little Red Flags you find along the way

Re: What to expect? sel74: Thank You all for taking the time to reply.
I probably should have word smithed what I originally wrote but I hope I did not come off as somebody looking to fill a void in my life. I just want to gather information from others who have either had positive or negative sitiuations.
Right now my girls and my health are top priority for me.

Re: What to expect? Fendann: Absolutely. If you try and jump into a relationship too quickly, it will turn out to be a horrible rebound relationship. You are the only one that can say how long is long enough, but you can't jump at the first person that talks to you. That will put you back into your downward spiral....We've all been there.
