If you and your soon-to-be-divorced spouse are separated or your ink is freshly dried on those divorce papers, I bet you're thinking about dating. A lot. It's normal, especially after something that once seemed so right now is clearly so very dreadfully wrong.
How do you know if you're ready? "Readiness" is a state of mind: one person might be ready for casual sex, another person ready for love, and another not at all. Here are some signs you're ready to, at the very least, date.
1 You're ready to date when you feel happy about doing so. Happy that you're moving forward in your life.

2 You may not be ready for love, but you're ready for fun when you think about sex 24/7 (and not with your former spouse)!

3 Getting out and having fun again is on your list. Sure, the bar scene may not be YOUR scene, but you're eager to explore.

4 You accept that you and your ex are done and you're OK with it. You may feel sad now and then, but you know it's for the best!

7 If you forgive yourself and your ex for the mistakes you both made, you're ready! Anger from past doesn't help the future.
