What feelings can I expect when I start dating again?

Unfortunately, people tend to choose the same kind of mates over and over again. And so one of the things you should really do before you date, during your divorce or after your divorce, is really figure out why you chose the person you chose and whether or not you want to make a similar choice again. And so you have to look at, are your needs the same as they were five, ten, fifteen years ago? What are your projected needs for the future? What kinds of things did you rely on that you shouldn't have relied on initially when you chose your mate? What did you find that was not important to you? What did you find that was really important to you that you never looked at? So you really have to do the work now so you don't have a second marital failure. You really have to figure out how to maximize your chance for success in this relationship, and you do that by a really careful analysis of your dating patterns, your mate selection, and looking at your personal needs.
