Divorced Guys - #7 Don't rush into the next relationship

Don't rush into the next relationship: It's tempting to want to develop a relationship to overcome that sheer loneliness you feel. However, remember the old adage: "Quick to rise, quick to fall". It means, quick to form a relationship, then it will be quick for the relationship to fall apart.

You know you don't want to be alone, but don't let your loneliness colour your thinking. Be determined to play the field. Try to keep yourself so busy with a variety of women so that you don't have time to be lonely.

Take risks, invite out women whom you have always considered were not your type. Explore new possibilities. Especially invite out women who are 'not your cup of tea', just to find out what it is that other men find attractive about them. It would be very daring to invite out a woman who does not have 'the look' you like but do it anyway.

At Entre Nous men meet women that they would not necessarily have chosen for themselves, this gives them the opportunity to explore friendships with women that they would never have gone out with otherwise.

It is amazing how many times we hear men say: "I never imagined Lucy was my type but once I got to know her I realised she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Because she wasn't the look I always go for, I almost missed out on appreciating her beauty."

At Entre Nous We hear this often: "I have always had relationships that were challenging, I thought that was the norm. I always thought that all beautiful woman were challenging. I never realised I could have it all – a beautiful woman and a harmonious relationship."

An old friend of mine was madly in love with his wife although she accused him of stuff he wasn't guilty of and there always seemed to be upheavals until the relationship finally ended. He played the field for quite some time until he met a woman with whom he also fell madly in love.

I think he fell in love with her because she didn't fight with him and when he was agitated she was able to calm him down. His marriage with his lovely new woman is peaceful whilst his ex-wife is probably in another acrimonious relationship.

You, too, can have a harmonious and happy relationship. Take a few risks, step out of your comfort zone and explore every opportunity. After all every man deserves a peaceful happy existence.

There is the right woman out there who may be different from what you think is right for you. Give yourself this opportunity to meet a variety of women. Finding the right woman is more important than finding a woman to solve your loneliness immediately.
