6 Post-Divorce Dating Tips

　　Get back in the game with these transition tips from author Jeannine Kaiser
　　Whether you just recently separated from your husband or have been divorced for a while, you may be nervous about getting back into the dating scene. Jeannine Kaiser, coauthor of Cupid’s Playbook, went on more than 100 dates in a year before she met her current husband, Keith. Here are her tips on finding your perfect date.
　　1. Take the Time to Heal
　　After divorce, many women either swear off men completely or want to jump right back in, but you need about a year to get over your ex-husband and focus on you.
　　2. Reinvent Yourself
　　Change your hairstyle, get tips from a makeup artist, invest in a few new outfits that make you feel sexy, beautiful and confident!
　　3. Make a List
　　Write down what qualities you want in your next mate. The clearer you are about what you’re looking for, the less likely you’ll date someone who doesn’t meet your needs.
　　4. Practice Small Talk
　　Chat with people at stores, while you’re pumping gas or even while standing in line. It will make you more comfortable doing it at singles events.
　　5. Socialize At Least Twice a Week
　　Getting out is the most immediate way to break your old routine, which will help you expand your circle of dating opportunities by exposing you to more available singles.
　　6. Avoid First-Date Bloopers
　　Don’t ever bash your ex or have sex on the first night.
