Now, onto this week’s question…

Hi Didi,

I’m a 42 year old divorced woman and back on the dating scene after many years.

Could you please give me some dating tips?

Wendy S.

Dear Wendy,

Returning to the dating world may seem scary but it doesn’t have to be.

First of all I would recommend that you stay away from bars, it’s difficult to find someone there looking for a serious relationship. Choose your dates very carefully, there’s just nothing worse than a bad date after a long week.

On your date, make sure you dress to please yourself and leave all thoughts of your previous relationships at home, this is a new beginning and you don’t want to sabotage it with preconceived ideas.

Make sure your kids know that your mobile is for emergencies only. Nobody wants to sit there and listen to you tell the kids to stop fighting and go to bed.

There are some great dating sites that have sections specifically for single parents and over 40’s. Why don’t you try Aussie Matchmaker, Get a Life! or RSVP. Best of luck!
