Divorced dads know how tough it is to survive the divorce and its aftermath. Those who were blindsided by the split or who put a lot of effort into saving the marriage likely have scars from the experience. They may be sensitive to the prospect of romance in general or nervous about jumping back into it. A divorce can do a number on self-esteem as well. Figuring out when and how to start dating after a divorce can be a real dilemma for a divorced dad. Many dads take a long time to recover before they are ready to date again, and some are ready within a few weeks or months. But whenever you become ready to start dating and developing relationships again, be sure to steel yourself against the many bumps in the road because the dating scene is loaded with pitfalls. So, if you have decided to jump back into dating, just how do you go about finding someone to date? Here are some guidelines. Networking Still Works. If you visit job search sites like the one at About.com, you will find advice about finding job openings through networking. The same rule applies to dating. Let your friends know you are ready to date again, and ask them to be thinking about people with whom you might be compatible. Sure, divorced men sometimes resist blind dates, but having friends invite you and a women friend of theirs over for games, drinks, or coffee can make sense and be a positive experience. Get Active in Your Community. You don't have to be Mother Teresa, volunteering everywhere to get the attention of others. Think of a few of your passions and find public events or places where you can meet like-minded strangers. If you enjoy helping the less fortunate and want to find someone else who shares this passion, look for soup kitchens or homeless shelters to volunteer at. If you love gardening, consider helping at a community garden. Maybe you have a passion for film or entertainment
