Going from married to divorced can be one of the toughest events a person can ever go through. There are a lot of raw emotions flying around and you never know when or where they are going to land. The first question people need to ask themselves before posting an ad on match.com is, are you ready to date?” If the answer is yes, then here are a few places you might want to checkout.

Online Dating

 One of the most frequently used methods of meeting potential mates today is through online dating. When I was dating, very few people were using the internet to seek mates. However, online dating has become as commonplace in our society as take out pizza.

There are many sites like eharmany and match.com where you can build a personal profile and rummage through thousands of profiles to view. You have to pay a monthly fee for most of the dating websites; however there are a few free ones like zoosk.com. The paid sites typically have more of a selection of people, but that doesn’t mean your soul mate isn’t on one of the freebies. Put your profile on a few of them to increase your number of prospects.

Dating and Relationship Coaching

One of the most effective and fastest ways of transitioning from divorce into your new exciting life filled with love and companionship is to hire a Dating and Relationship Coach. Re-entering the dating world can be very confusing and frustrating, so a Dating Coach will act as a guide, helping you navigate the often murky waters of dating.

By working with a professional you will develop powerful dating tools and techniques that will lead you in the right direction to finding the love of your life.

Speed Dating

Another popular dating tool is speed-dating. The concept of speed-dating is you actually get to meet many potential mates in one evening. At a traditional speed-dating event, equal numbers of men and women attend. The men sit across from the women and have mini dates that last around 8 minutes. At the end of each date a bell rings, the men complete their dates and shift over to have their next 8 minute date.

Speed-dating was first started in the 90s as a modern means for Orthodox Jews to meet one another. The idea caught on like wildfire and hundreds of speed-dating companies sprouted.
