SINGLE MOMS
“As a single 40-year-old divorced woman with kids, is it okay if I start dating?”
It’s never too late to find love again, so yes, it’s definitely okay.
(You can check out this article about Finding Love After Divorce for a more comprehensive reference.)
As long as you’re ready — mentally, physically, emotionally — then there’s nothing wrong with considering getting back into the dating game. There’s no age limit, after all, and being a divorcee or a mother shouldn’t stop you from living your life.
Just make sure you also communicate with your family about your intention to start dating again, especially your kids. If they’re old enough to understand, they’ll definitely want to know beforehand and share what they think about it. If they’re too young, they’d still want to be prepared about having a new person not just in their mother’s life but in theirs as well.
