Do girls look at you differently if you tell them you've been divorced? Cause whenever I tell a girl that I get the look, and the big Oh and a sigh.? Just wondering is that a bad thing or something? It wasn't my fault really I tried to make things work I loved my x, just she didn't love me back, and she didn't want it to work? So why am I such a bad person?
I think every woman has a billion thoughts when she hears that! First off, in nearly every circumstance it is better to hear a 35-40 year old guy has been divorced rather than never married. There are a few exceptions.but generally a girl wants to know what's wrong with the guy if he has never been married by then. Some women shutter at the thought because most men's ex's aren't all that "friendly" to the new girl friend especially if the guy has children that he may have custody of from time to time. From my own experience, having once been with someone who had kids while not having any of my own presented a slew of challenges no one was ready for! The best way to know what a girl thinks, is as soon as she says."ohh" then with a big smile looking into her eyes, immediately ask her why. If she stutters, she is going to probably lie to you. If she pauses, she feels empathy. If she immediately and smoothly replies then she is curious and open minded about hearing what happened. That's just my take though!

No, I don't think your a bad person or anything but, I do think that if you still say you love your EX then I would say oh, *sigh* and walk away. Since you said you loved you EX it would make a whole lot of difference, I do think that your a stronger person for actually trying to straighten things out. Were there kids involved? If so, that would also make things a bit more dramatic or so. My parents are also divorced and when I met my step dad. Lets just say it didn't go to well. So I think it just depends on a few things.
I wouldn't look at you differently. The fact of the matter is you were in it to win it. But somehow it just didn't work out. Its not my place to frown down on what I don't understand. However you being in the 18 to 24 age would raise a question? What was the rush? Most people would look at your age and say you set yourself up for failure. Its not bad, but it's not the greatest ( 4 some) if someone's digging you and you don't come with a whole lotta baggage ( hopefully not ) and unresolved issues you should be ok. There's someone out here for everyone. You didn't meet her and just divorce her.
Actually if the girl your talking to hasn't been in the same situation then of course she won't understand and when it comes to a guy being divorced it's most likely they're fault that's just a fact. Nothing will change that unless guys start to overcome all the things women divorce them for. I'm divorced and it was all his fault but I don't hold a grudge against all guys for what he did. To tell you the truth when I see a guy like you whos divorced I want to talk to you because we have things in common and most likely went through the same heart ache. And we can relate to each other so. Yes girls will most likely look down on you automatically for being divorced.
I don't think girls think that you are a bad person. But there's a few things that come to mind when dating a divorced guy. The first is the baggage that comes with a divorce. You might have kids, a crazy ex wife, or the worst-you might still love her. It's also a bit of a bummer to hear that someone has already been married because it proves that your heart has already belonged to another girl, which is not something we necessarily want.
However, despite all this- if a girl really likes you, a past divorce shouldn't really matter. Never lie about it, but maybe don't throw that bit of information out in the first conversation. If you get her to like you before you tell her that, maybe it won't scare her off as much!
Thanks and no baggage LOL. No kids. DIDN'T go that far. My x is a little well. Off the wall. But she ain't around so I wouldn't go as far as crazy we almost live a state apart. So I don't see any issues. Thought she was the one she personified she was, did a complete flip flop on me became somebody else. And that was that. So sorry to the girl that wants to blame every part of her divorce on the guy, but hun it takes two to make it and takes two to break it hun. - 4 months ago
You are not a bad person. But if you are really between 18 and 24, then it probably is a bit awkward for someone to hear that you've already married and divorced. It probably says that you rushed too far with a girl and it didn't work out. It's kind of like how some guys look down on girls that are not virgins or something.
Well, it might be because they feel that you are on the rebound. It is very common for divorced people(man or woman) to want to get back right away into the dating scene right after going through a divorce cause that person may have a low self esteem, especially If(like in your case) that person was the one who felt like they weren't the one who was loved. Therefore, the women you are trying to go after may think you are going to use them and dump them once you regain your confidence.

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would do a lot of things. Start out with an early dinner at a good pub. Then head out to see a good movie, afterwards heading to the clubs. Basically the goal is to get to know her in a variety of settings to find out what she's like.
Jeans and a sportjacket.
The date ends with us heading to her place or mine.
