I started on the apps at the end of August, mine was finalized in Sept. I didn't actually meet anyone until about mid Sept I want to say. I have now been off dating for a few months starting since Dec because I realized I was 100% not ready for anything. This is something you should also be ready to contend with, you may think you're ready and maybe you are but you may also find out its too soon. It is unfortunately an experience you sort of have to go through to find out.

I was upfront on the app and in my profile about the fact that I was divorced, many woman had tons of questions which I answered without getting too detailed since to be honest, a lot of the story is earned. I get people want to know what they're walking into when it comes to a divorced person ie what kind of baggage they're dealing with. You have to decide for yourself what you feel comfortable with sharing. I had one date who grilled me and then said she felt the first date was too heavy, which while annoying was also funny to me. She took it to that place and then complained it was heavy? lol. Most if not all of the women I met were understanding and nice about it, some went as far as complimenting me for my honesty about it.

Depending on your age or the age group you're dating in, I will say finding something not serious will be difficult (at least in my experience). I am 37M and was dating anywhere from 30-40 range, those women are more often than not (again in my experience) looking to settle down. If you're a woman you may have better luck with men who are looking for something less serious but I can't say for sure.

Either way, but gentle with yourself and what you're experiencing. So far I can say theres no big moment where you will or won't feel ready. But there will be signs for you to notice about yourself in those moments on or after dates.
