How to get back into dating following a divorce
Following a divorce, you might need a little time to recover and get your head together before embarking on something with someone new. We completely get that! But there are plenty of people out there like you in the same phase of their life, looking for someone that they can trust to build a new connection with. You might not want to jump into a new relationship straight away, but with Ourtime, you can start conversing with people in order to start feeling out what you’re looking for post divorce.
Depending on how long you’ve been in your past marriage for, your needs in a relationship may have changed. You may also be a different person to who you were when you first started dating your ex partner. By chatting on the Ourtime app with other older singles – whether they’re also divorced like you or not – you can figure out what sort of person you’re looking for later in life. Although it takes time to get to know a new person, especially when you have been in your previous marriage for so long, patience is key. However, if you’re not feeling a spark or connection with your date, please do not be afraid to let them down gently – communication is key in the world of online dating.
When you’re ready, and you feel like you have been chatting long enough with your single friend via an online dating app, then take the plunge and meet them face-to-face for a date. This can be a little scary, but remember – you don’t have to embark on a new relationship, you can keep things as casual as you both like until you have worked out your post divorce dating goals.
We know that post divorce, you might not be feeling at your most confident. However, using a dating app like Ourtime is a great way to start rebuilding this. Creating a profile that shows your interests, hobbies, profession or excellent fashion sense will help create icebreakers for people looking to talk to you. Don’t be afraid to inject a bit of humour into your profile – it gives you both something to talk about, and takes some of the pressure off post divorce dating.
Tips for creating a profile on an online dating app
If you’ve never used an online dating app before, creating a new profile can feel daunting. But we can help you stand out to people looking for similar things to you using these key steps:
- Choose the best photos for your profile:
The first step is to choose some photos which you feel represent the person you are today. They can show off your timeless sense of humour (we suggest keeping it relatively light and playful, but you do you!). It doesn’t matter what age you’re at, showing off your style says a lot about your personality and how unique you are. But if style isn’t important to you – we know looks aren’t important to everyone, keep reading… - Find the perfect date idea:
Got the perfect idea for a date? Let people out there know! Suggesting fun date ideas in your profile can be a great way to find people looking for similar life experiences to you. We know you’re at the point of your life where you’re probably not looking for the high octane dating experience your younger self would want. And that’s totally OK! If you want to meet someone over a coffee, go for a walk, have a movie night in, these are all completely valid ideas for dates. What’s more, having a relaxed first date is an excellent way to ease you back into meeting new people following a divorce. - Write your dating profile:
Creating an exciting, fun bio can also help you meet another single person who shares similar interests to you. In your previous marriage, you may have found that you and your partner just didn’t share certain things in common. There’s no time like the present to get out there and meet like minded singles, who are looking to chat about the latest film or book they’ve read over coffee. Or if you and your date are both sports fans, this is a chance to get back into a tennis court, or have a laugh over crazy golf. Whatever you want in life – the world is yours.
So, wrapping it up, the world of dating post-divorce can feel intimidating. There’s no getting around that. However, we are here to help make things easier when you embark on your new adventure.
