Dating question. I’m 45M, just out of a 13 year marriage. I have an 8 yr old son who I have half time. What apps should I be on? When is the right time to mention my separation / pending divorce and 50% situation with my son? In my profile, or wait until I meet in person? Any and all advice welcome! 🙏

If you’re dating to find a steady partner, you should be up front and honest 100% about your situation- are you separated, are you divorced, and your 50% custody. Put it in your online provide or bring it up on date 1. You want to attract someone who understands and is accepting of these circumstances, so give them the information they need to make a decision that is fair to you both. They don’t need all the details of your divorce, just where you stand in the process and the fact that your child is a big part of your life. If you just want to have fun, that’s a different question.

Umm…are you ready to date? Your divorce is pending, you just got out of a 13 yr marriage and have part time custody. That’s a lot of stuff. Is your heart in dating to be with someone, or seeking fun?
