It is not all about getting burned, but about getting back to dating after a certain age is tough.

Well, according to this, I'm not ready to date yet.I'm at the stage where I stillto stick my finger in the peanut butter jar, eat Snicker's Bars for breakfast with extremely strong coffee as a chaser, and leave a line of graham cracker crumbs on the carpet (I need a trail so if I get lost, I can find my way back).

I had a wonderful relationship with a gentleman last winter and spring for five months. He made me the happiest woman in the world. Slowly I became uneasy as he was pushing me away without explanation. The relationship ended and I was devasted for two months, started dating others, and now Mr. Wonderful is back in the picture. He still turns me on. Should I give him a second chance?

I was burned badly by an eHarmony connection...total fraudster (not that eHarmony cared that their service was being abused). I don't think I'll ever be ready.

I agree... you don't have to have been burned for the return to be difficult. After 10 years with the same person you kinda take a break to reconnect with you... Then after that it becomes difficult because it's an entirely new ballgame. There are new rules, do's and don'ts that didn't apply the former life, and then there's the new you that you're not used to yet. It's all so very over whelming.

What about singles mothers? I'm a single mother and i dont have any help to go out, if i go out i have to take my kids. I dont have family close by and on the other hand, my kids dad does not help at all. I'm so ready and dying to have someone in my life, i'm tired of being alone. I'm ready but I can't.

Thank you I've been out of the dating game for 13 yrs. after my divorce. I just threw myself into making sure my sons were okay. I was so much in survival mode that I've turned around and my baby is in his second year of junior high. (smile) I'm thinking where did the time go.

Being a widower is definitely in the "worst of all" column. I don't think an advice column could even touch the true depths of difficulty involved in figuring out when the "Best time to start dating again" is. Remember, you can still yell at your ex for something stupid, but you never truly move on after losing your wife.

How do you ever get ready after 38 years with the same person and you are looking at the big 60 mark. Nearly every man you meet is looking for young skinny women and don't even want to learn who you are. Am I ready, Lord where do I even start. Lynn
