After divorce, I didn’t rush back into dating. I focused on my son, on healing, and on rebuilding my life with intention. But one quiet evening, walking up to our house after a long day of work, the gym, and track practice, I found myself wondering what it would be like to come home to someone. Not out of loneliness—but out of growth.

This post shares the real questions I had to ask myself before dating again:

• What does dating look like when you’re raising a child?
• How do you build connection slowly and with care?
• Can I hold space for someone new without compromising who I’ve become?

I’m not looking to rush into anything. But I am open to something real. If you’re wondering what it means to date again as a parent, or if you’re rebuilding after separation, I hope this gives you something to hold onto.
