Too Soon?

[krepsly]

DP and I split officially a few weeks ago, I say "officially" because the relationship was dead long before this - months infact and we were simply going through the motions until one of us could "escape" officially. There is no love lost, I don't think about him, he doesn't think about me, we don't have DCs together and we will probably never see each other again.

Last night I was bored, signed up to a dating site just for a little test to see if I'd get any interest and by this morning I had a page and a half full of messages. A few of them I'd quite like to reply to but ... ex only left about 3 weeks ago! Is it too soon or, since there was no emotion involved, should I go for it!?

If you feel ready for a new relationship then I say go for it

I say go for it. Sounds like your relationship ended a long time ago. You don't have to take things eriously, just have a few dates and enjoy yourself.
BTW I met my DP on a dating site and we are getting married on Friday and have DD 18 moths old.

go for it

Aww that's lovely Havetowearheels!

I've felt single for a long time, there was no affection from the ex, no real communication, just a shit load of attitude and controlling. Towards the end we barely acknowledged each other, despite living together. I've been wanting a bit of fun/affection for a long time now.

don't waste any more time, seriously

but watch out for the red flags

Oh I'm definately on the lookout for red flags this time. I've made a few too many mistakes and I'm absolutely sick of rushing into things and then spending years being treated like shit. I'm actually quite looking forward to finding out what a normal "date" situation is like with my new confidence and arsehole-radar

good girl x

have fun

hehe thanks! x

THIS! This was me! 3 weeks to the day :) I only joined up because I saw such a lovely man on there and was thinking of contacting him... was too shy but next day found a message from the lovely man in my inbox and 3.5 months later we collected the keys to our new house from an estate agents and a year later got married!

Ex and I had been together 10 years, but ending was only 'official'... for both of us had happened two years before...

GO FOR IT!

Wow that sounds promising KnitKnack! x

thanks krepsly :)

I got load of messages to, but had a tactic of starting with the nearest first as I had just come out of a long distance relationship. Just wanted a few nights out, bit of a laugh and take it from there.

DP was the first guy I contacted.

Let us know how you get on :o)

No go for it! Take it slow, be safe, have fun and enjoy yourself
