Kate needs to be patient. Most people recover fairly quickly from their trauma of divorce
(Men
suffer more than women after divorce),
particularly when they have support of people like
Kate. There is another reason why this man maybe
reluctant to date: his son. Many people feel
that they if they start to date another person it will
make their child angry with them because she or he is
still attached to the other parent and will resent that
the parent she or he lives with is already dating
someone else. (Related article: How
to make a man notice you?) My advice for people like Kate is the
following:
- If this person is worth waiting,
then maintain a close friendship without pushing for
a relationship. Let him or her recover from
the damages of the previous relationship. With
time, healing will happen and he or she will then be
ready for another loving relationship.

- Do not put all your eggs in one
basket. Start dating other man and you can do
so without any guilt because this person is not ready
to commit anyway.
- Finally, talk to this person's
family and friends and let them know how they need
to provide a supporting environment for him or her
to recover from the trauma.

And if you are the type of person that
Kate is in love with, here is what I would
suggest. Take your
time to recover from your
previous relationship. There is no need to jump
into another relationship. You are wiser this
time. However, do not close your mind to exploring
a relationship with a new person. Not everyone is
the same as your previous spouse. It is perfectly
acceptable to explain your fears and concerns but to
totally rule out a relationship is not going to help
you. Recommended links: Style
