When you start ‘dating’ again after a divorce?
I’m not doing this right now, but I’m wondering… do people go into it saying the next person has to be 100% of what I’m looking for? Or do you settle for 90%? 50%? How high do you set your expectations?
I definitely don’t think you should settle at all!
I think that the next person should have most of the qualities that I desire in a mate for me and the kids.
If there is a physical appearance that can be changed, I don’t hold that against the person. It’s really the personality and brain that matters the most as well as compatibility.
You know what your expectations are and what you can live with and what you cannot.
For me, I definitely am not going to settle. The last time I settled it bit me in the butt.
I’ve been divorced a year and a half. I date to have fun. I’m not looking for a new husband, or life partner, or anything of that sort. I’ll never do it again. Life’s too short. Oh well, that’s probably not what you were looking for, but there ya have it.
