Continuing something I brought up in an otherwise unrelated thread.....

If/when the divorce comes, I am going to be quite willing to do a lot of dating and whoring around (just kidding, but not totally). But I don't know much about dating, since I never really did it.

Any advice for me? Both men and women are welcome.

One thing I can recommend, avoid talking about your ex-wife, whether it's good or bad. Unless they ask specific questions, don't volunteer anything about her. You don't want to come off as either bitter and angry or as missing her or comparing your date to her.

Aside from that, go out and be yourself as though you were just making a new friend. Find someone with similar interests to yours, and just take it one day at a time. Don't rush anything.

Be positive and look happy to be there.

If you ask her out, you pay for the date, whether it's dinner, movies, bowling, coffee and/or taxi's involved--if you asked her out, pick up the tab. Just my humble opinion, I'm sure others may disagree.

As for the whoring around stuff--don't take them back to your place early on. After sex you may decide this isn't the person you want to have a long term relationship with--yes it happens even though people will tell you that you should know that before you have sex with them--whatever, or even spend the night with. It's easier for you to get up, get dressed, and go home, than it is to hint around that you prefer she doesn't spend the night and then not know when the hell she's going to leave.

When you do feel more comfortable with her and decide to invite her over to your place, try cooking for her (if you're a competant cook), while sharing a few glasses of wine and enjoying a movie.

I agree with the others about staying away from talking bad about your ex-wife. As I'm sure you've seen on here.....bitterness gets you nowhere and it's a big red flag with women.

Stay positive, outgoing and confident because you will have a new life ahead of you. I hope you make the best of it and find what you are looking for.

Happy wh*ring.....um, I mean hunting, my friend!

Assuming you have something in common with your date I would start off the first one or two with an informal one. This is a mistake I have made in the past and will almost always do this from now on.
