Are you ready?
You're probably ready if you can talk about your ex without getting heated, you want to meet someone rather than just prove you can, and your kids (if you have them) are settled into the new routine. There's no set timeline.
Start low-key
- Pick one app. Match or eharmony if you want something serious. Hinge if you're under about 45.
- Get new photos. Not cropped from old family pictures.
- Keep first dates short. Coffee in the Arts District or a walk at Springs Preserve.
- Rebuild your social life too. A class, a run club or a volunteer shift gets you out of the house and meeting people without pressure.
Things to know in Nevada
Nevada is a community property state, so if you're thinking about moving in together or remarrying, talk to a family law attorney about protecting your assets and any support arrangements. And keep new partners away from your kids until the relationship is steady.
