Many divorced dads are hesitant about jumping back into the dating scene.  After all, most of them, especially those with full custody, are more concerned with caring for their children, making a living and simply putting the past behind them.  

As we all know, there often comes a time when the desire for companionship arises and a man feels the need to at least test the waters.  

If a blind date hookup doesn’t sound appealing and prowling the club scene is out of the question, online dating could be the alternative that enables you to find the soul mate you thought you snagged the first time around.

Following divorce, individuals tend to avoid difficult situations and relationships.  Valentine’s Day happens to be one of those difficult situations that tugs at our hearts, strains our emotions and drums up good and bad memories.

Use this time to thaw frozen feelings and let go of the feelings of anger and resentment that have restricted your ability to experience love and the pleasures of life.

Intimacy is one of the most significant human needs.  Intimacy is not limited to a spouse or partner but rather encompasses all facets of life.  One can be intimate with our parents, children, friends, nature and the world around us.

Read on for tips to entertain yourself and celebrate this Valentine’s Day.

With Valentine’s Day - the ceremonial day of love - fast approaching, men who are separated or going through a divorce need to be extra careful in how you show their love to the new special someone in you life.

So before you tweet your love or post on her Facebook wall a dozen roses, remember that social networking sites are a “treasure trove of information” that are increasingly being used as evidence in divorce cases, according to Scott Trout, managing partner of domestic litigation firm Cordell & Cordell, P.C. 

Attorneys will scour your social network pages – and your girlfriend’s – for anything that could be used in the divorce case. In fact, 81% of the nation’s top divorce attorneys say they have seen an increase in the number of cases using social networking evidence during the past five years, according to a recent survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML).

Any time you are preparing to send a text message, an e-mail, a status update, or a wall post, stop and ask yourself, how many different ways can this be interpreted?
