The do's...
Do begin dating when you feel it's right for you. Other people may rush you or slow you down.
Choose the person who feels right for you. Resist the temptation to find somebody who's totally different from your ex, remember there were a lot of things about him that attracted you initially.
Do take time to re-establish your own identity.
Do rely on your friends, not as matchmakers, but as support systems.
Don't go out only to find romance. New social interactions can also produce lasting, valuable friendships.
Don't be dispirited by disappointing experiences. There is so much potential out there
Don't hunt. Desperate people give off desperate signals.
Don't hide. Mr Wonderful isn't about to drop into your lap as if by magic. Be brave: get out there.
