Chemistry.com Tip: Divorce is never an easy situation to get through. However, if you’re at a stage where you’re ready to find someone new, dating online can be a great gateway to finding a new relationship after a divorce. Since getting back into the dating scene can be an experience you’re revisiting after some time, read our guide to dating online after divorce.

• Sign up with a dating service that uses the latest in scientific assessments to match you up with potential dates that are best suited for you, like Chemistry.com.
• Keep your profile upbeat. Honesty is a good policy when presenting your best self in an online environment, but so is presenting a positive image.
• Don’t divulge details of your ex or divorce in the beginning. It’s fine to note that you’re divorced, but you can keep the details of what happened and why it didn't work out to yourself.
• Go easy on the text messaging. Although modern technology makes it easy to send a quick note, if your potential date doesn’t respond right away, resist the urge to send continual messages until you get a response. It’s fine to send a follow-up message after waiting a day or so for a response, but don’t overdo it.
