3. Get in the game

Once you know your worth, get back in the game. Meet your friends and siblings and let them know you are back in the dating business. Find about the current dating apps and register yourself. Give it a try and be vulnerable. Remember, nothing, absolutely nothing can happen until you put yourself out there. Also, remember, age is just a number. Stop worrying that you are 40. After all, it is never too late to start again!

When to start dating again?

After a break-up, it becomes quite hard to process anything. But the hardest of it all is perhaps to understand how long after the break up to start dating again. Is it okay to wait for 6 months or does that mean you are too weak? Or maybe you should start after a week, but will that be too soon? Will that mean you are too fast?

Well, quite honestly, there are no right or wrong answers to all these questions. But one thing that is certain is that it doesn’t matter how the world thinks. Instead, when you should re-enter the dating pool should completely depend upon how you are feeling. Some relationships are too intense, and thus, after the break-up, one needs some time to process things. While in some other cases, you already know it is not working and the break up comes as a relief. In such cases, you feel ready to date again just after a few days.

So, in short, there is no time that is too soon or too late to start again. Whenever you start feeling ready to be a good partner and are ready to envision a new future is a good time!
