Not every date that you’ll go on will turn into a romantic relationship. With that being said, who wouldn’t mind have a circle of newly divorced and enjoyable friends to do things with? If you’re new to dating after a hiatus, it could be very beneficial for you to stay in touch with people you meet even if there aren’t romantic feelings involved. Friends can introduce you to other singles who in return introduce you to even more singles. One friendship is all it takes to meet the right person. You’ll have a great backstory on how you met, too.
