[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female here. Divorced for 2 years, separated for another 2. Between dating and marriage we were together for 24 years. 3 kids. I am not remotely ready for a relationship or even casual dating. 
He is being honest. You can be honest with him too. Tell him you DOwant something serious so you are moving on.
Good luck[/quote]

Why not casual dating ?  [/quote]

Different PP, but even casual dating can sometimes ask more of you than you are ready to give. I went through a long period of really wanting to be selfish other than to my kids. I wanted to eat where I pleased, see the movies I preferred, and listen to the music I loved. Even on a casual date, you have to compromise a little or you’ll be an ass. I wasn’t there yet after ten years of always being the one to give up what I wanted. [/quote]

Got it.  I guess it depends on your mindset. I found dating other people was great after being in marriage hell -  it was reaffirming.  But I did learn after a while that I probably should have had a longer break. [/quote]
