I’m thinking about getting out of the dating game. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking: How can someone who averages 4-5 dates a month possibly contemplate getting out of the dating game? Easy. Dating sucks. Which is why I will impart some wise Divorce Guru dating tips for those of you who know it sucks, but are hopeful that you will find your 2nd, or 3rd, or 5th true love after your 1st, 2nd, or 4th divorce!

Dating tip for divorced folks number 1:

Don’ t Care

. I have found when I couldn’t care less about a guy I’m dating he pays me the most attention. When I do care and am attentive and wonder if he’s going to call…well, it’s all gone to hell. So you may be wondering what if you do care about whether your date will call you or if they’re thinking about you or will ask you out again? What can I tell ya, it’s not going to end well. Fake it (meaning don’t call, don’t write etc) until the power balance is in your hands…basically until they seemingly like you more.

Dating tips for divorced folks #2:

Walk away from first date sex

. And second date sex. And third date sex. Get the picture? Specifically for women. Leave your date wanting more. A man isn’t going to turn down sex. He will turn down a relationship. Fast. Hey, you might be cool with a one night stand or that crazy “friends with benefits” but I guarantee you’ll want more. You’ll want movie nights and someone to escort you to parties, and someone to make you breakfast on Sunday mornings…this ain’t gonna be him.

Dating tips for divorced # 3:

Get a life.

Get some friends, and don’t always count on a date to entertain you on Friday and Saturday nights. Don’t look for happiness exclusively in a romantic relationship…have fun with friends, take a class, do what YOU like. You’ll thank me for this!
