I’ve been single for 5 years, no dates, no hook ups, nothing.
For the first few years I worked on myself, healed from nasty divorce, custody battle, and all the emotional baggage from an abusive marriage.
This year I decided to start dating again but I’m having the absolute worst luck. Haven’t had a single date - no one’s gotten past chatting.
I don’t know if it’s my location or not but I would love to finally connect to someone who would be a great addition to my life and eventually my son’s.
Where did everyone start dating if you have? Tips, advice? I haven’t done this in a long time.
(I work and attend school from home, no chances for workshops/classes or anything at the moment)

I'd say to make sure you know what you want. Have a clear vision about what kind of qualities you are looking for in a possible partner. Dream about that without having attachment or particular expectations. Life has a magic way of bringing things closer to you when you decide what you want. Follow anything that excites you even if it has nothing to do with dating and trust that life has a way to work out!!
I met my current partner after doing the exact thing as you, healing from my bd, deciding what do I want in a partner, how do I want to be treated and just following whatever excited me, being in that state of flow. Good luck 🤞❤️

I am a dating and relationship coach. Would be happy to have a chat if you are interested lady 🙂.
