Hi I matched with someone on Tinder and got chatting really nice bloke and easy to talk to.

He has only been on his own for 3 months after 28 years together she left for another man. I have been single 2 years and not dated so putting my toe in the pond but feel that this is way to soon for him to be on a dating site although he confirms he would never go back as the trust has gone.

Shall I carry on chatting and see where it goes or politely back away.

There's not a set amount of time you have to wait before dating again, it really depends on the individual and the circumstances. I joined tinder two months after getting out of a LTR of 4.5 years just to see what it was like. I personally wasn't ready for a relationship, but I was ready to start casually dating. My ex on the other hand was in another serious relationship within 2 weeks of us separating. People move on at different speeds. He might need more time to be ready, he might not, it's hard to say. I know 28 years is a long time, but you don't know the circumstances behind the marriage. It could have been an unhappy marriage for years after all. I'd personally just carry on and see where it goes, whilst baring in mind that he might later decide that he needs more time. :)

Run for the fucking hills

Miranda west’s now husband did the leaving, this guy was left. This is the critical part. He will be an emotional car crash.

Google dating recently separated guys and see what comes up... I bloody wish I had
