Hi All. I've found myself divorced at 40 we had been together since my late teens. I don't know any single mums. I am used to being a wife, this new world of seeking out a partner is something I've never imagined. I'm not actively seeking someone but I need some moral support ladies how on earth do you meet someone without dating apps? Or are dating apps actually what people do these days, lol.

Dating apps or meeting through friends. I would avoid Tinder. I was in the same situation and took some time to just go out and have fun e.g. Kayaking, club raffles, book clubs. You can meet people that way too. Best advice is to date different people until you work out what you don't want. Learn to say no and pay attention when they ignore it e.g. I told a man no to any future date and he dropped the nice act very quickly. If he had of graciously accepted it, I may have changed my mind. I did have a stalker at one point so never give them your address! I also spent time taking myself out on dates, that's a new kind of empowering independence.
All this until one day I met this man and we spent the whole conversation goofily smiling at each other and we both knew. Happily together for many years but if I had not dated the frogs, I would not have recognised my Prince ;)
