Some people are able to jump right into new relationships after a divorce, while others will take a long while before theyre able to feel emotions that strong again. Dont feel discouraged if it takes a good handful of dates to start feeling spark and attraction toward a new romantic interest in your life.

How soon should you date after divorce?

Wait until your divorce or separation is final before you start dating. Even if you know your marriage is really, truly over, you still need to give yourself some time and space. Although theres no magic time frame by which one is ready to date, I typically recommend that one wait about a year, Jones says.
