Some people are ready to date after 2 months; others may need years. Dont rush. Its important to experience the emotions associated with divorce. Give yourself “a little time to think, a little time to grieve, a little opportunity to find someone else,” Sills says.

How long does it take to start dating after a divorce?

Wait until your divorce or separation is final before you start dating. Even if you know your marriage is really, truly over, you still need to give yourself some time and space. Although theres no magic time frame by which one is ready to date, I typically recommend that one wait about a year, Jones says.
