The experience of dating someone after your marriage has ended in a divorce may be uncomfortable in the beginning. But you should not feel so intimidated by this.
Trying things which are unknown always scares or discomforts anyone but this does not mean that you should run away from it. The thought of dating someone can be really nerve=wracking to those people who have suffered a setback in their relationship recently.
With practice and patience, your confidence towards dating will grow again.
Prepare: Preparing yourself mentally is the first thing which should be done when you are considering allowing new people to enter your life and expanding your social circles. Talk to your your single friends to get some dating pointers, learn from their experiences.
As they will have have been actively meeting or dating people, they can provide you with some guidance and advice as you start out. Consider their opinions about current dating rules, and what is the best form of etiquette in certain situations. Don't feel embarrassed about asking these questions. After all, some of your friends will have been through what you are setting out to do, and your friends will rally round.
Always think positively about yourself. Never overly criticize yourself and feel confident about you and what you have to offer. Don’t feel uncomfortable due to issues like weight, mental or physical scars; nobody in this world is perfect.
Instead of mulling about your shortcomings, focusing instead on your positive aspects. You can always deal with other problems as they arise. When looking for a partner, just focus on dating. Take each situation one by one, instead of getting overwhelmed by considering the bigger picture, so that it becomes easy to manage each small step.
Be Appropriate: Start feeling good about yourself by buying some new and appealing outfits. Instead of having a mindset of shopping for those things which others like, always prefer buying only those things which you are comfortable with.
Don't pretend to be someone else by wearing the kinds of clothes which you are not comfortable with.
Wear something which is stylish, yet suits your age and personality.
Don't wear heels if you are not comfortable wearing them for saving yourself from the embarrassment due to tumbling over.
