Do’s and Don’ts for Divorced and Dating

There are a few things to ponder before you begin to even think about dating.

Probably the first thing to do is a reality check. Do you whine? If you fill the air with whining words, they will suffocate you and all the people within ear shot. Whining is nothing more than negativity with a twang. Nobody wants to be around people who are constantly whining and complaining about their lives. So that being said, when you have your first conversation with a man, follow these rules:

1. Do not whine.

2. Do not complain.

3. Do not discuss your divorce.

4. Do not bring up your ex.

5. Act happy, even if it’s difficult.

6. Ask him about himself. (This should be done over and over again.)

If you do not follow these rules, there will be no first date.

If you do follow the rules and make it to the first date, follow the first 6 rules and add to them the following rules:

7. Do smile.

8. Don’t wear sweats.

9. Do put on some make up.

10. Don’t drink too much.

11. Don’t eat too much.

12.Don’t select the most expensive entree if you go out to eat.

Good luck. When you are ready, this can be such a fun process.
