Step 1
You've probably been in seclusion for some time. You kept telling yourself there was no point in trying to meet anyone because you would never feel again the way you felt for your ex. Starting to realize that that may not be true and that maybe there is someone out there for you? If so, it means you are ready to jump back into the social scene again and start meeting some interesting people.

Step 2
Call up old friends. Don't worry-they won't be upset that you lost touch for alittle while. They know what you went through and they understand you needed time to yourself. SO give them a call and suggest going out for dinner and drinks and maybe a night club or local bar after?

Step 3
Keep your options open. Remember the name of this article is how to date again not how to fall in love and jump back into a relationship. Play it cool and take your time dating and meeting new people. Do not jump into a relationship with the first person you think you may be interested in. If you do, it will most likely just be a rebound.

Step 4
Make a checklist of everything you do and don't want in your next partner. It may sound too early to even start discussing a another relationship and it is. But the whole point of the list is to recognize what qualites you didn't like in your ex and use this list to red flag those same qualities in anyone new you meet. It's not too early to make sure you don't get invloved with someone exactly like your ex, even if it would only be casual dating
-
Step 5
Keep it casual. When you go out don't do so with the intention of meeting someone. Enjoy the fact that you are back in the scene having fun and spending time with your pals. Remember, it's when you aren't looking that you will find someone.
