Dating after divorce
7 February 2008
It's never easy to get back into the dating scene after a messy break-up or divorce, especially if it's been a while since you went for dinners and fussed over what to wear.

However, it is possible to find happiness again after divorce and one expert is keen to share her tips, borne of extensive experience.
Spiritual divorce coach Caroline Ellis regularly quizzes experts about relationships, communication strategies, finance, career and self-esteem in order to determine the best strategies for thriving post-break-up.
The final issue is often the most pertinent.
"If you're not prepared to love and accept yourself first, how can you expect to create a relationship where someone will do that for you?" Ellis asks rhetorically.
She also speaks from personal experience as her own marriage dissolved.
The important thing, according to Ellis, is not pining for what has been.
"To thrive after divorce you must create a vision of what you want now in order to pull you forward. Otherwise you're simply looking in the rear-view mirror of the past."
