subject: 4 Helpful Dating Tips for Women After A Divorce [print this page] When it comes having a relationship after a divorce, everyone seems to have an opinion. Friends, colleagues at work and family are all ready to advise divorced women on what to do on a first date. In your quest for love when you meet a nice guy, you will want to do the right things so you don't blow your chances of a relationship. Here are 4 dating tips for women looking for love after a divorce.
STAY AWAY FROM EX-TALK
When you are on a date do not talk about your ex. Whether for good or bad reasons, guys don't want to hear about your ex-hubby. It gives the impression that you are still emotionally stuck with him. Denying this does not make a difference, most guys will scare easily.
If it is a blind date and you are not really hung on the guy, then you can start going on about your ex. Other than that, avoid ex-talk like a plague.
TAKE COMPLIMENTS
Most guys go out of their way to compliment women on their first date. When they do that, accept kindly. Never reject it as it sends very wrong signals. The guy would probably think he's wasting his time and you are too hard to please.
If he offers a compliment, say a simple "thank you". Do not bask in it. Just show you appreciate what he says. Some men do not offer compliments easily. So acknowledge them when they do.
BE YOURSELF
Avoid trying to put up a front. Many divorce women act up for different reasons. Some try too hard to please. Others want to prove they are strong and independent after a divorce. You do not need all that. It is either he likes you or he doesn't. What better way to allow him make a decision about you than being yourself.
BE POSITIVE
You have to stick to a positive outlook. Things will not always go the way you want. Keep your eyes on the silver lining cloud. Be positive. Men do not want to be around a woman that always has something negative to say.
They feel it rubs off on them and quickly hit the highway. You become too much of a depression for the man to want to see you again.
Dating is not a walk in the park. There is a price you pay if you want to make the right choice. It is a pressing demand on your time and probably resources but it counts well in the end. So be yourself, learn to take compliments, be positive and avoid ex-talk. These helpful dating tips will work for women looking to date after divorce.
