Joining a dating website centered around divorced people may be an important first step in re-entering the dating scene. When you join a dating website, you can easily control the situation and only talk to those people who seem interesting and measure up to your standards. In addition, you may be able to build up your self-confidence and even ask for dating tips from others.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Shop around for the divorced dating website that is best suited for your needs. The right dating website should have a relatively large database, and should represent other divorced men and women who live in your area. In addition, the search function should be relatively easy to use, and should be available in a limited form so that non-members can test the results before deciding to join.

  2. Step 2

    Select a divorced dating website that offers additional features, such as discussion forums, compatibility and personality testing and a way to offer and receive feedback about filling out your dating profile.

  3. Step 3

    Join a divorced dating website that is reasonably priced, or offers a money-back guarantee if you haven't met your match or are unsatisfied with the results. While most dating websites charge at least a nominal fee, there are a select few that are free to use.

  4. Step 4

    Fill out your dating profile accurately and honestly. Downplay the fact that you are divorced, and don't make excessively negative comments about the dating scene or your ex-spouse. Put your best foot forward by appearing optimistic, enthusiastic and downright fun.

  5. Step 5

    Avoid settling for the first person who wants to meet with you. On a divorced dating site, you can be as elusive as you want to be, with no repercussions. Wait for the right person to come along, and take plenty of time in getting to know him before you commit to a face-to-face meeting.

Tips & Warnings
  • Many dating websites designed for people who are divorced have discussion forums where you can talk about dating, sex, relationships and even how to improve your own online profile to attract more attention from others.
  • Never give out your address or phone number to anyone you meet on an online dating forum until you have met in person. When you do meet for the first time, make sure it happens in a public place during the day. You may even want to invite a friend to come along for the first meeting to help ensure your safety.
