As soon as the drinks arrive. I usually start crying for extra sympathy.

I have her sign a pre-nup first date. Before a drink is ordered. Bite me once shame on you. Bite me twice shame on me.

If no kids, I wouldn’t bring it up on the first date. If after the second or third date and a relationship looks promising, I’d find a way to mention it.

Unless it’s happened in the recent past, most won’t care. If anything they will see you as someone committal and like you more.

If it’s happened recently (Within the last year or two) then it may freak them out and it should.

f divorce with new dates


Usually during the first date the topic of past relationships comes up. Both of the women I dated after my divorce knew I had been divorced during the first date.

When you are talking about yourself, I would casually mention that you had been married, but it didn't work out, and share whatever reasons you feel pertinent.

This.

It would be silly to mention it unsolicited on a first date. If things are great down the road there shouldn’t be any reason why mentioning it would mess things up.

I think it is probably assumed if you are over 30 that you have been married before....wouldn’t you assume that about a woman that you meet? I have never been married and am older than that and people are often surprised when they find out.

Unless this is a blind date you should have probably already talked about that or at least mention it during the “tell me about yourself” part of the first date

It's tough explaining divorce at such a young age. I'd think depending on your looks/ money or kids most women would be willing to overlook a lot.


I know I'd see it as a red flag if a woman was divorced that young. Getting married is a huge decision and having it blow up so early might indicate their decision making abilities, i.e. do they have horrible taste in men, or are they really bad judges of character.


With all that being said, just tell the truth and I doubt you'll have much issue especially if you don't have kids.

Because it can be a common dealbreaker and you may just waste each others time
