The Silverback's Guide
Dating After Divorce for Men
How does a bloke start dating again after divorce?
Start with an honest look in the mirror, a respectful invitation and the steadiness to hear the answer. If you have kids, keep the first date separate from the family introduction. The book is clear: 'No universal date count makes an introduction right.'
The Silverback's Guide to Dating is for blokes starting out and blokes starting again. The ex files cover taking space without a secret strategy, owning your part without taking the blame for another adult's choices, and keeping practical contact brief, clear and about the job in front of you. Single dad dating covers telling someone early that you have children, offering the time you can actually give, and planning introductions around the children's needs. Dating for old Silverbacks covers loss, a long separation or divorce, and moving at a pace you both want. 'A first date does not need the complete archive.'

Questions about dating after divorce for men
How long should I wait after the divorce?+
The book does not set a timetable. It suggests using the space to get your feet under you (sleep, proper meals, work, mates) rather than counting down days: 'A month is no magic repair period'. If the separation itself is still live, the Divorce book covers your first 30 days.
What about online dating at fifty?+
Chapter 10 covers profiles, relationship scams and image-based abuse. Chapter 11 is for older Silverbacks: use recent photos, do not lie about your age, and say what you actually want now.
Which book do I need?+
Dating, for the arena itself. Divorce, if the separation is still being worked out. Both are in the complete library.
