How soon is too soon?

[FruitBatBaby]

Marriage with ex DH was dead for about the last 12 months and we'd both emotionally checked out in the lead up to that point but for financial convenience, he stayed living in the family home (against my better wishes) moving out just a couple of months ago.

Asking the question of how soon is too soon to dip my toe into online dating? Is there an expected timescale that would be considered to be acceptable or is it just based on how you feel as an individual and you do as you wish and own that decision?

I'm not looking for anything serious, just some decent male company to enjoy dates with.

Up to you really wouldn’t personally be ready after a couple of months but then I’ve been single for 6 years (not dating at all) 😣 don’t think there is any time limit

Depends if you’re the kind of person who cares what other people think as people can be judgy.

I don’t give a shit personally so I was ready almost immediately (marriage had been dead for years)

If you feel ready - go for it!

Up to you. I dated before my divorce was finalized and before we had sold the house. I didn't bring anyone back to the house though that would have felt wrong.

I started dating about a week after exh moved out, I’d had months to come to terms with the idea of him going. Maybe I was lucky but most of my friends were really supportive and wanted me to be happy.

I do not think that there is such thing as expected timescale. Really up to you. Some people start dating few months after they separate some much later or never. I have been separated two years and just got my divorce papers. I do not feel like getting into another relationship at all, cannot be bothered, to be honest. I like my freedom to much to risk it for anybody. If you would like to try, I say do it and good luck to you.
