Apropriate to start dating?

Even though I'm a guy, I have been where you are before.  My ex always dangled that possibility that we might get together thing out there.  Unfortunately being the person who got left you feel like if there is a posiblity then you should keep your life on hold just in case.  Two years is too long to have to keep your life on hold for someone who has left you and cheated on you.  It is past time for you to get your life back and to seek out happiness once again.  Step one though should be filing for divorce.  I recomend this before you date anyone because in some states it can make a difference in the settlement still.  If you so much as date someone even though he is the one who cheated first and left they will still see you as equally cheating even though you waited two years.  Beyond that concern though you have every right and duty to yourself to move on and be happy.  Get divorced and find a guy who really loves you and deserves your love.

I had the same problem when I first moved here (Texas).  I came from Upstate New York, where guys are way more foreward---  people are more reserved here in that way, it seems.  Put yourself out there---  ask someone out for coffee, ask to meet for lunch, you know, little "safe" dates.  After a few of these, you should know yourself if this is a person you really want to date.  Don't do the bar scene dating---  you meet so many crazy, wild people who don't really want a relationship.  Another idea:  ask close friends or relatives to "set you up".  Or, you may try Yahoo! personals.  It sounds risky, and may be, but I met the most awesome man online 14 months ago and we have an incredible relatioship!

Its not easy, I did it after 11 years off the market, and I have to say...you just have to take a deep breath and go for it.  Dating sites are a fun way to mmet people, and get the hang of flirting.  I met a guy that I dated for about six months that way. Don't be too scared, it can be really exciting to get back out there. \nGood luck!!!

Start out dating slow and ease your way into it.  Boys or Girls can ask the other out first.  Make the first date casual, so that there is not a lot of pressure.  Only do what is comfortable for you and don't let the other person make you go faster than you want to go.

Unfortunately dating is always tricky and probably hasn't changed a whole lot since you were last single other than the addition of the internet.  No matter what you do there is no guaranteed way of avoiding the ones you don't want.  For beginners I recomend sticking to activities that you enjoy.  If you like dancing or something like that try taking a class.  Don't be afraid of the internet, but be prepared to have to filter out a lot of trash to find a few nuggets of gold.

well how old are u, if your over sixteen i would try to talk with your parents about letting you date.  i just want to say there really isnt a rush it will all be there when your out on your own.  enjoy being young honey because before to long you will now that the real world can be a rough place.

you can, or you can wait and get to know each other better. especially if you dont want to end up dating someone who actually likes someone else. you've got plenty of time before you need to start worrying about this stuff...i know most people are dating by this time, but i waited till i felt i was more mature and the relationship would actually mean something, and i'm very happy that i did.

It sounds like you've really thought this all out, and you have made a good plan. It takes courage to step out there and take a chance on a relationship. Just being yourself and being honest is seriously the way to go. \n\nBest wishes!\n~Tia~\nYahoo Brainiac\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html

Just be active and start a relationship later.

Depending on your age and interests:  Often on the job, at church functions, community events, through relatives and other friends.  You can meet possible dates through volunteer work in an area you're interested in.  Community college classes or through mutual hobbies.\n\nThen, if you're older, you can always get a personals ad at yahoo or match.com and meet plenty of the opposite sex.

Not really, but assuming that you're an adult and not a kid: \n\nAfter several email chat exchanges, if you don't already have one get a photo. Then  move on to telephone. Talk at least a few times on the phone before agreeing to meet. First date should be in a well lit public place for a drink or coffee. Starbucks is a good example.

Absolutely!\n\nTake the time to nurture yourself, and pursue your own interests, which may end up being a great way to not only meet potential dating material, but also make some new friends.  Remember, you are whole and complete just by yourself - dating someone may be nice, but it's not neccessary.\n\nThe main thing that I can think of as far as the dating in today's world is to be safe!  If you meet someone through the internet, be sure your first meetings are in public places.  And if anything progresses very far, be sure to practice safe sex!\n\nMost of all, enjoy this new phase of your life and have fun!\n\nP.S. Dr Phil always comes off like a pompous a** to me :-)
