How to Know If You're Ready to Date After Divorce
9 Signs You're Finally Ready to Date After Divorce

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!

5 When you feel as if you are ready to grow and show all that is special about you, blooming into a new you, you're ready.

6 If little things in life make you feel good, like a sunny day, and you appreciate the clean start, date, date, and date!

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.

8 Are you ready to see where life's roads take you? Get in the dating game. You're all good and ready.

9 Does a new beginning with someone excite you? Are you curious about someone else? Ready, ready!
