“How Will I Know When I Am Ready To Start Dating Again?”
By Bill Schacht, MS, LCSW
This blog begs for…
“POD WISDOM”
I can’t tell you how many people of divorce have asked me the “How will I know…” question. With 2 million new adult divorcees each year and “guestimating” that the majority of us who go back at begin somewhere between 6 and 36 months post the death of marriage day, we can assume there are about 5,000,000 inquiry circling in their software.
The existential standard answer of, “Don’t worry, you’ll just know,” does not seem intuitively correct and holds way too much potential to have the blind staying blind.
The question offers fertile ground for us to generate an answer as a membership. We all have notions about this subject. So, let’s get them out there!
Here is our challenge, members…
Go to the POD FORUM entitled, “How Will I Know…?
Post a comment that begins as follows: “One way a POD know he/she is ready to begin dating is:???
You fill in the ending. We will keep track of member responses and create a list of them. We will vote on each one to determine if it should be included on our “POD WISDOM GUIDE” under the topic “You know you are ready to start dating when….!”
Your posts should be serious in nature with the intention of helping each other.
Simultaneously, I will be asking some relationship experts the same question. We’ll see who presents the best wisdom!
Share your thought, please!
People of Divorce

Once you love yourself again
