Dating is one of those things that everyone has done at one time or another. Back in the days of high school, dating was considered fun and exciting to all. But those days came to an end once you got married and grew up a bit.
Now that you have divorced and you are tired of living on your own, you might want to consider dating again. So, how does an adult, who has been married for almost 20 years, go about dating in this day and age? Some things have changed greatly since those early days of a movie and popcorn date.
The first thing you are going to notice is technology has taken over the clubs, bars, and fairs that people used to go to in order to find a date in the first place. Facebook and various other social networking sites have pretty much taken over that aspect. Don’t forget about all those dating sites that you see commercials for on your television, either. Computers and dating are starting to go together like sugar and coffee these days and, because of that, you are going to have to change your game up a little bit.
It is really difficult to convey emotion when you are typing to someone on a computer. Remember that when you are saying things through an instant message or email, you are going to have to be fairly specific so you don't end up scaring that potential date off. What might be a funny opening line in real person, where they can see the smile on your face and the hint of sarcasm in your words might just end up offending someone who is simply reading it online. Always take that into consideration when you are trying to find a date through a social networking or online dating site.
You should also be aware that the person you are talking to may not be the person they are portraying themselves to be. There have been numerous accounts of guys acting like women and vice versa just to start up a conversation with someone as a joke. You might also find that the strapping quarterback or energetic cheerleader turns out to be a 350 pound man named Judd that lives in a trailer behind his mother’s house. Make sure they send you a picture with a hand written note to you with your name on it to be sure.
Dating in this type of a technological age is something that a lot of teenagers have no issues with, but anyone that has been married since the advent of the home computer, can remember what a modem sounded like while connecting to AOL, and loves the old drive-in movies might have a difficult time adjusting with how things are done these days. Don’t worry, though. If you are lucky, the person you are looking to date will feel the same way you do and that will just give you something to talk about while you are waiting for your movie to download onto your phones.

Article 2 In a Series of Articles on Balance Your Friends and Lover
Let Your Love Meet Your Friends
So, since your friends and love are important, you want them to continue to be important parts of your life.
One way to handle this is to make sure that your friends and your love get together. It may be awkward to have a guy’s night and bring your girl along or vice versa.
Therefore, plan an event where he can bring his friends and you can bring yours. A backyard Barbeque is an excellent way to do this.
Make sure that you specifically introduce your love to all of your friends. Encourage them to spend time together.
At the same time, encourage your friends to mix with your love’s. If anybody hooks at the party, that’s a bonus.
But, there are other ways to get your friends and love together. Try holding a seated dinner party with a handful of friends and their dates.
If most of your friends belong to a organization of some sort (church group, writing circle, alumni group), take your new love to an event that requires an escort.
Also, you can introduce your new love to your friends one by one or in very small groups.
Remember as well that three’s company too. It’s okay to invite your friend and your boyfriend out for brunch or drinks. You don’t always have to pair everyone up every time.
Whatever you do, don’t overwhelm him or her with new faces that they’ll have to incorporate all at once.
When Your Friends Don’t Like Your Love
What should you do when your friends don’t seem as taken with your new love as you are?
First of all, you should listen to them. They may see something that you don’t. It might not just be jealousy.
For instance, your friends may see you repeating a pattern that is bad for you by falling for the same kind of guy or girl that always hurts you. Or, they may know something about his or her past that they’re not ready to come right out and tell you.
But this isn’t necessarily the case. They may just be jealous that you are no longer spending 100 percent of their time with you. This may be especially true with friends who have difficulty attracting dates themselves. You should have compassion for those people.
But you need to be able to stand up for your new love. You are obviously attracted to this person for reasons that your friends may not understand. He may be shy and they don’t see the brilliant sense of humor that only comes out when he knows someone well. Or, you may find something special in your new man or woman which your friends lack. Because they don’t understand why this is important to you, they man not appreciate in your new love.
Remember, your friends are entitled to their opinions. You should listen to them. But, you shouldn’t let their opinions run your life. Tomorrow we will continue with Article 3 In a Series of Articles on Balance Your Friends and Lover.
