I started online dating once my divorce was final in February.

So far, I have met five men. All nice (I didn't agree to meet every guy who messaged me, only nice seeming guys who read my profile and whose profile I liked).

I went on a second date with only one of them. I didn't go on a third date with him because he seemed to have a problem when we went to a crowded restaurant with not finding a seat right away "I am pissed off........" red flag to me. I like easy going guys.

Another man wasn't paying attention to what I said. He just talked a lot about his own life. I got a headache.

Another man was nice but obviously pining over a long time love of his.

Another man was handsome and interesting but his ex had a key to his house and would let herself in to get their shared dog (another red flag).

Lastly so far, a great sounding guy told me he is not divorced. That he has been separated for three years and staying married for his ex to have health insurance. I thanked him for being upfront but told him that I am not going to get involved in the limbo land of his marriage.

Anyway......five down, twenty five to go......lol.

Good luck reading!! It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.

Good job on seeing the red flags and giving them the....next.

Reading, I'm not surprised the you are handling the mine field of dating so well. You have always had thoughtful posts, and you are being equally thoughtful in your approach to dating. Your "Zen" approach to dating is healthy.

Good luck to you!
