My First Date After Divorce Ended Before It Even Started

from Leftovers Again? Dating Over 40 Hosted by Surviving the Swipe Apocalypse with Jenn

Are you ready to hear what it's really like stepping back into the dating world after over a decade out of the game? In this episode, I'm sharing my very first in-person dating experience after my divorce - and let me tell you, it was equal parts hilarious and cringe-worthy. Picture this: Facebook dating, a spontaneous hot tub invitation at 8pm, and a man whose apartment was filled with action figures and Star Wars memorabilia. What could possibly go wrong? Well, everything and nothing all at once. Here's the truth: Dating in your 40s after divorce is weird, wonderful, and sometimes completely ridiculous. But it's also necessary if you want to find connection again. This episode is for anyone who's wondering what it's really like to get back out there after a long-term relationship ends. I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the "oh my God, did that really just happen" moments because we need to normalize how strange this whole process can be. Ready to hear about the seven more dates I have lined up? This is just the beginning of my rewilding adventure, and I promise to share every awkward, hilarious, and hopefully eventually successful moment along the way.
