Is it too soon?

#1 Post by Sunnyside »

I split up with my dh earlier this year, the marriage has been over for a long time before that. My question is that I have been asked on a date, this weekend, is it too soon?

That's really your call. If you feel ready go for it. Does the date know your past? Go slowly and if it doesn't feel right you'll known

If you're comfortable with it then go for it, there's no set time to move on
I'd be flattered and delighted to be asked!!
My last date was with DP 11 years ago, love the jitters and excitement of a 1st date with a person you fancy

It's up to you really, do you feel ready to put yourself into dating mode? If you're concerned about tongues wagging I'd advise not to bother worrying about what other people think,some people live to find drama where none exists and will talk no matter what you do. So, if you feel ready to date then I don't think it's anyone else's business. And have a great time if you go!

Like the others, I don't think there's a right or wrong time, so suit yourself. I don't think you'd have asked if you weren't interested, so in that vein, if you do take the plunge, have a great time . Similar to Zazzles it's nearly twenty years since my last date, wouldn't give him back, but there something lovely about the start of a relationship

It's whenever you are ready . Doesn't matter what others think . Just remember opportunities to meet the right person don't come up often so I would be saying what have you got to loose

Go for it if you feel ready yourself! Why not?

Thank you for the advice. I think I am ready, butterflies in fact, worried about what others will think and ex dh, I think he still thinks 'we' can be fixed, anyway have decided to go and hope it's fun, been a very long time.

Not at all, I met my now DP within a year. We are over a year together now and the happiest I've ever been.

If you feel ready for it go for it but if you ex still feels your relationship can be fixed and he is currently OK to deal with be prepared for a not very nice change in attitude.

I am going to go on the date and see how it goes. Won't be saying anything to ex dh for a while, I could go on the date and it could be fab or could be a disaster. Hopefully it will be a good night out and we shall see from there.
