It's been about 2 months since I found out my marriage was over. I'm not interested in any kind of relationship but it would be nice to meet someone to hang out with; Maybe go see a movie or have dinner. I'm a 5'3" 38 YO male, but in pretty good shape , who has been married for the last 19 years. I really have no idea how to navigate this dating thing.
Dude, your marriage just ended 5 minutes ago - take time to catch your breath!
The last thing you need to be thinking about is dating
You need to deal with the issues that caused your marriage to fail and spend some time working on that before you even think about getting out with new people.
Rely on your family and friends for company and support right now.
Do the work you need to do to grieve and work on your issues and you'll be in much better shape for dating LATER.
Good advice. I do agree about not getting involved, but i am 100% for non-involved physical intimacy. Many of us who have been divorced were fortunate to escape from relationships that lacked both emotional and physical intimacy and we experienced a certain amount of emasculation at the hands of our former partners, as a result.
Having and enjoying casual sex is just another way of regaining self-confidence in an area that badly needs it. The more you have, the more quickly the effect wears off and you begin to wonder, isn't there more to life than this?

I have a question......
What if you're going through a divorce etc, and don't have family or friends to "rely on" during it.......?
Don't try to hijack someone elses thread, you've got enough of your own going on and none of it makes sense anyway.
If you have no friends to rely on, it's probably because you are a disliked and unpleasant person.
It's not a 'highjack' - just after clarification.
Yeah, I guess your suggestions possibly could be true, but I didn't ask a "why" question. Anyway, I suspect it's more the moving away from family and friends in my case..."home" is depressing to me, and so is up here now..
Anyway - you're the one highjacking.
I'm starting to suspect you have an internet crush on me, but the only way to disprove it is if you stop responding to everything I post...so..
I mean more than hanging out with people in a group setting. But if she were open to "benefits", of course that would be ok too
Hit up your local bar at happy hour or ask some coworkers.
