Even Jennifer Garner -- Hollywood star, Golden Globe winner, face of Capital One and Neutrogena -- is freaked out about getting back into the dating game after her divorce. In short, it's totally normal to feel apprehensive. On the other hand, you might feel to feel like it's time to jump back on the horse. Only one question remains -- are you really ready? What kind of things are you telling yourself about dating? Why would they be interested in me? If the thought of going on a date is interrupting your everyday life, it's a sign you're not ready.
The last thing Schilling recommends is taking stock of your own behaviour. After all, you might be talking the talk, but are you actually putting your money where your mouth is? Or are you still in self-protective mode where you don't want to leave the house? Take the time and make it about you. Build up your confidence and resilience again.
Focus on the things you really like about yourself. If you do feel like you're ready go start dating again, Schilling says there are a couple of things you can do to prepare. The first of which being how to relay your 'divorce story. Plus it's not attractive.

Be smart enough not to get into a car if the person is driving, and secondly, recognize that he or she is a drinker before you get into a relationship with him or her. I think it's safe to say that at the beginning of a relationship, people usually drink more, because it's new and you are both shy and getting to know each other, but be smart enough to recognize when his or her drinking becomes more of a dependency, rather than a social occurrence.

Blatantly rude, as if his personality had completely changed. Then he went back to being nice again. But I never forgot that. My theory is if you see it once, you will surely see it again.
The jumper is the guy or girl who loves to be in love. The ink on the divorce decree isn't even dry and he or she is talking about marrying you. You've known the person for three months. You're still in that "jump into bed the second you see each other" phase and he or she is talking about ring shopping. The jumper isn't a bad person, just afraid to be alone or trying to compete with his or her ex because that person already has someone.
You don't have to be engaged or married to have true love. Let yourself heal from your divorce which takes at least five years in my opinion and just enjoy the relationship. No need for rings and a honeymoon!
