I've been divorced since August 2015 (separated since March 2015). The divorce was not my choice - it hurt quite a bit - but I'm to the point where I'd like to start dipping my toes back into the water.
I feel like I've given myself enough time to at least get to that point.
Meeting people just seems a lot more daunting at 40 than it did when I was in my 20's.
I briefly tried online dating about a year ago, but gave up. It just seemed like I never got anywhere and I gave up - honestly, my heart really wasn't in it back then.
I have 2 young kids who I share custody/placement of 50/50.
Any advice? Should I look at online dating again?
It's strange because from the time I was 18 until I got divorced...I was pretty much always in a relationship. It was easier to meet people when I was younger and the social calendar was far more open.
I just feel like I have a lot more miles in the tank.
