Dating After Divorce in Your 30s: A Realistic, Heartfelt Guide to Starting Over (8 of 9)

14. Trust Your Intuition

Your gut feeling is a powerful guide. Don’t ignore red flags or dismiss your instincts. Feel empowered to end dates early or decline further contact if something doesn’t feel right. Conversely, don’t hesitate to express interest if you feel a genuine connection.

15. Be Wary of “Too Good, Too Fast”

Be cautious of partners who rush the relationship, shower you with excessive attention, or declare intense feelings prematurely. This behavior can be a sign of control or manipulation. Prioritize gradual connection and establish healthy boundaries.
