Ready to Start Dating After the Divorce?

Divorce is tough on everyone involved, and the last thing many people want to think about is another romance. So your current relationship failed—that doesn’t mean you shouldn't date after divorce. In fact, some soon-to-be divorcees in Macomb County, Michigan opt to spread their romantic wings in the earlier stages of divorce—once the end of the failed relationship is formally accepted across the board. Those who have been out of the dating game for years may find a new world of rules and possibilities. But not to worry. We’re here to get you ready to soar once more… just in time for Valentine’s Day.


What Are the New Dating Options and Rules?

Your Michigan divorce attorney can tell you that today’s dating scene is far different than it was 10 years ago. Technology plays center stage now, but there is one major thing that no technological device can master: character. Regardless of how far your apps and new devices get you, the only way to keep the spark is by being authentically you. Be yourself, even if that means being somewhat vulnerable and real.

Online dating is taking a backseat to mobile dating. If you have a smartphone, you can easily see who in your area is looking for the same things you are. Whether it’s a simple hook-up or a jazz concert at the local art museum followed dinner at that trendy Italian bistro you've been eyeing, mobile dating can get you on your way to meeting Mr. or Ms. Right, or at least Mr. or Mrs. Right Now.

Physical and online dating led to singular dating. But in today’s techno-world, multi-dating is an popular option. You can play the field and explore as many options as you can handle until one person shines through. Yes, this is the modern version of "playing the field," but with a technological twist. The rules are simple: Don’t string people along, and be honest about your intentions. Manners still matter. Also know that while you're multi-dating, it also means that person you may develop feelings for is multi-dating, too.

The Past and Present Collide

Got busted for shoplifting in 1986? Chances are someone may ask you about it on a date. You’re a stand-in at Shakespeare in the Park? One of your upcoming dates may go on and on about her love of Midsummer Night’s Dream. On the other hand, perhaps you have a habit of posting drunk party photos on Facebook or making obnoxious tweets about your ex—guess what: you may end up with a lot of cancelled dates. Anything you post, and practically anything you’ve ever done, becomes public knowledge through a simple Google search. So be prepared.

Safety is still paramount. Choose a public place for your first date. Have bail-out and backup plans for your first two dates (at least). And most importantly, regardless of how well a date goes, do not invite the stranger over until you’ve established trust for that person.

If you have any questions regarding the new wave of post-divorce dating, contact your Michigan divorce lawyer for quick tips and suggestions.
