Dating After Decades, Divorced Women Have 6 Advantages

Many women, including myself, had their last date in high school or college and now find themselves totally lost in this new world of digital dating.

No doubt the rules and culture of dating in today's modern dating scene have changed. Dating after a divorce is truly challenging and there's no getting around it.

Many women, including myself, had their last date in high school or college and now find themselves totally lost in this new world of digital dating!

Not only do we need a “refresher,” we need to learn a whole new set of skills and language!

Despite that, we do have some advantages in our favor!

Here are six inspirational advantages I'd like you to standby when you're ready to start dating.

#1: Relationship Experience

For starters, we've been around the block, and come to the table with wisdom from relationship experiences that place us ahead of our competition.

#2: Confidence

Divorced women set their own timetable and begin dating after they have established their new normal of “happiness.” Their newfound freedom is spent with friends, new hobbies, and activities that make them smile. They understand becoming a successful single before dating is key to showing up confident while owning their worth. Men are naturally attracted to confident women.

#3: We Know What We Want

They date differently beginning with the end in mind. In one sentence they can describe their ideal companion and how they want to feel in their romantic relationship. It's difficult to find what you're looking for if you can't describe it.

#4: We Know Dating Isn't A Numbers Game

These successful singles “get” dating isn't a numbers game. There are no rules to follow, a list of things to do to land a man in 30 days, or blame yourself if he's “just not that into you.” They acknowledge dating is both an art of self-discovery they can master and a science they can learn to find real soulmate love.

#5: We Date For Compatibility

They consciously date deliberately for compatibility. They will attest to screening quality men who share interests, lifestyles, relationship goals, and core values. They date character traits and believe nice guys should finish first!

#6: We Know Our Value

These women know the value of investing in themselves. They'll collaborate with professionals who can advance their needs, wants, and desires. Their new motto is “I deserve TRUE romantic love with a partner who adores me for who I am!

Most women dating after divorce aren't afraid to date. They just don't want to make the same mistake twice. They already know the cost of picking the wrong partner and will do whatever it takes to make sure they get this right. They empower themselves with a new mindset, and dating skills, believing the best is yet to come.

I'm here to cheer you on!
