Little or not experience

Ok I married my high school sweet heart and we were together for five years before we got married 23 years ago. So to say I have not date much would be a huge understatement. From talking to people and reading posts on the site I do know I am not a complete idiot but I just wondered if any one had some basic tips. Keep in mind I do have manners and have a good idea of what is appropriate and what is not. This guying is not begging for sex on the first date.

  Be yourself, continue using those good manners, and have realistic expectations. The best advice is to "be ready" to begin dating again. Good-mannered guys are appreciated more often than not; but you must also be patient with yourself. Remember that honesty & communication are vital as well. We are here to help out one another. Welcome to the club & good luck!

  Dont come on too strong. I have been on a date tonight and he practically had me living with him and being his future within a couple of hours. It was a bit creepy really.
  
  I like a guy to really listen to what I say and have an oppinion (though obviously if his oppinion differs from mine it should be tactfully expressed)

  So far good advice, honesty communication, and be yourself.
  Do not do things you normally wouldn't do, and take it as slow as you need.
  Do not get discouraged if you do not find mr right on the first date, or even for awhile, have fun, do not expect much, but if it comes make sure you are comfortable with it.
  

After divorce it's hard to jump back into the dating scene. This group will help support each other as we get back out there in the dating world.
