Do you want to start dating again seriously, or are you just looking for something casual?
And do you use any apps, or how do people even date again? I honestly have no idea after being with my ex-husband for 8 years.

I use Facebook Dating, Upward, and Match. The first two have been more successful for me. I have only had 1 date that turned into a wonderful 9 month relationship.

Not sure where you’re searching or what. But I used an app called stir. After being 11 years with one man I came at dating knowing my Boundries better than before. I knew where I wasn’t going to make “sacrifices or accommodations” & stir is almost strictly for parents to meet other parents. I found something beautiful from that site.
I started not wanting anything serious. And we went over 6 months before we brought each other around our kids as well. He has one son who’s 7 and his other kid and my three range from 11-14
I always think things will either bloom or fizzle out.
The only thing I knew for sure is I didn’t want to waste any more time. Not that doing some needed time alone or that time with my ex was necessary wasted. But I knew what I wanted and have found someone whom I’m a good fit with. 🤷♀️ the scariest thing is starting. And making those first steps and decisions. But be sure you’re confident and sure of yourself before you try to introduce someone else into your world.
