Don't jump in too quickly. You might be emotionally vulnerable when you first start dating again. It's not always an easy step to take. Try not to throw yourself into serious relationships too quickly; you may be sorry later. Don't get your kids too involved with a guy who may or may not be around; give the relationship a chance to prove its staying power. If you're comfortable with keepings things casual for a while, that may be the best way to go. That way you can get your feet wet again without too much pressure to commit.
Have fun! Dating when you have kids may be a slightly nerve-wracking endeavor, but it doesn't have to be serious and boring. Not every relationship will work out, but you can at least have a good time searching for Mr. Right.
