Sucks huh...i was in a relationship for so long that I forgot how to flirt! ;) I started by organizing large group outings, and gradually built up the confidence to mingle single ;)

Well you can start by emailing me heh and get on an online dating thing...eharmony or something like that.  Go out, do whatever you are interested in doing in your free time and see if by any chance you meet someone you like.

I've met a few people on internet dating sites, as long as they are fairly local you can arrange to meet or talk on the phone. I've also joined local groups and taking up hobbies like climbing and swimming.\nI've heard of people meeting up in supermarkets and at bus stops, and of course at work or college.\nGet out there, and don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself now and then.\nGood luck

The question is are you ready to date? You will know when it is time to start dating again. I would still suggest at least three months by yourself first. Get to know yourself again.

Go to many many local events such as concerts etc, join a club such as line dancing if your into that or a bowling leag. Go to every event your friends may have, a wedding party etc. You can also place an ad in the paper or search for a singles dating place/party in your area online, we have them here in town and i need to go there since im single myself lol. Yahoo personals can be a lot of help too, you just need to be honest about youself and know what you want and be clear in your profile, dont leave anything out such as a picture of yourself, i wont click on any profile without a picture.\nMatch.com and Harmony.com are 2 very good places to place a personal as well, just make sure you fill everything in and it may get you somewhere, oh and keep it local because you dont want to travel thousands of miles to meet and then find there is no sparks. Before meeting her make sure you know A LOT about her, never jump into it and dont believe everything she may tell you and always reply to her e-mail, communication is the keyword when dating online.

Absolutely, I am a true believer in that. Just start small. Try new things like going to the gym, joining some type of organization that will get you around new people. You may even meet new friends that way. You may even find someone and ask them out on a date. Take things slowly to find out what you really want and don't want. If your really interested in dating people now, try a dating service or try online dating, just becareful and use common sense. Definitely don't rush into anything! Take your time and look around!

be yourself, and display confidence and just try to get yourself out there by going to social places like clubs, the mall or places that hold some interest to you. or you could just try a dating site for your area.....

Try volunteering for something in your community. Go to the library. Join a gym. Ask your friends to set you up on dates. Play a co-ed recreation sport like softball. Elections are on the way. Volunteer your time to a candidate that you like. You will meet many new people that way. Just think outside the norm. Do things that you enjoy and eventually you could meet a woman that enjoys the things you do.

Yes, you should take some time, even if you don't think you need it, to reevaluate yourself, your feelings about the world and relationships.  If anything, just to make sure you will be okay, and not have a bad after effect later than expected.  You know, to make sure you still know you.  Relationships change people, even if they don't see it, so it is best to just relax, take a break, and make sure you are totally comfortable to go back into dating before you try again.  If you are not sure, just wait, it is likely you are feeling some subconcious doubt, and that will hurt your chances of a good experience.  You will want to give a new partner what they deserve, and you have to be confident and sure to really give it your all.

there is no secret place to meet someone. it can happen anywhere at any time in any circumstance. You have to put your best foot forward at any given moment and behave like that person of your dreams is around the corner. Take extra time in the things that you do and look around.Start calling in favors with friends and get set up on the infamous blind date as painful as it sounds. Join a gym, play bingo, get out there and hunt like your ancient ancestors did.

NO. but i'm only 35. i've done the online dating thing, too. it's tiresome. so is the bar scene. the only suggestion i could give you is to find groups of people with same interests. join local clubs related to your favorite hobbies, or find some that are interesting but you have no knowledge about it. someone there will gladly share their knowledge, and maybe something will click. the more you put yourself out there, act naturally, and just be yourself you'll get results. at least you'll be meeting new people and making new friends. one can NEVER have too many friends!

The way to start dating is getting your self in the right frame of mind and haveing a desire to go out and have fun. Where is totally up to you, I personally do not go to bars or parties. I usually meet women in some the strangest places when I am not looking. Just be yourself and get out there (women don't like fakes). Try stores, museums, anyplace a women would go by herself or with girlfriends. Above all do not become deperate or obnoxious. Women deserve to be treated well.

The BEST thing you can do is go back out there and meet new men.  Date them, laugh with them, have fun.  You will discover that you're a much better catch than your "ex" made you feel.  It will take time, but you will get over him.  If you can force yourself into going on at LEAST three dates in the next month, you will help yourself far more than you may believe.  It's not about him anymore, it's all about YOU.  You're special, you're desirable, and the right man will KNOW it.

Part of the therapy for getting over a divorce is to re-join the "human race".  With a divorce, we go through "separation anxiety" ... and that is a very miserable condition.\n\nDon't feel that you have to leap at the first opportunity to date ... but don't shy away from one that interests you.  Ease back into it, maybe by starting out going out with a group of friends, then a couple friends, then venturing out on your own.\n\nThere is no generally-accepted timeframe for waiting.  Let your own heart and needs determine that.  Just be cautious about "rebounding" and jumping into a worse relationship than the one you just left ... just because "it's there" and you're hurting.

Go out with friends and just have fun.  Don't approach the situation "looking" to meet a guy.  If you are just being yourself with friends, the guys will approach.

You can try online dating, just be patient.  I would suggest you try pre-dating (predating.com) or 8 minute dating (8minutedates.com).  That's always a fun way to meet people.  \n\nThere are always single groups on meetup.com that you can join as well. Good Luck

Start by looking in the right places.  Determine the kind of person you want, and go where he is.  If you want a drunk, go to a bar  If you want a jock, go to a health club.  If you want a person of faith, go to a church or join a coven of pagans.  Get involved in a political campaign, even a republican one if you have to.  Go back to school. You have to give yourself the opportunity to meet new people first.  The second part is simple.  Relax and be yourself.  Stop looking and start having fun.  People are attracted to happy, fun people who enjoy life.
