If you’re thinking of trying online dating because you’ve been through a divorce and want to find someone new, it’s important you try to avoid bringing any baggage into a new relationship. It’s crucial to be forward-thinking, upbeat and focused on the new people you meet – if you are dating after divorce, sharing your past relationship problems especially early on, is not a good idea and may only serve to push people away in the long term.
