No that's a huge risk and you're not legally protected

The legal spouse could sue you along the lines of alienation of affection depending on the state and how they spin it of if they reconcile

If the separation is recent and there's a lot of emotional baggage or legal entanglements still in the mix, I might be a bit hesitant. But if the separation is amicable, the divorce is in progress, and both parties have moved on emotionally, it might be a different story.

No

Sure. Unless they separated yesterday or similar. It’s just dating, explore, have fun. As long as it’s not a drama situation with a very recent ex, who cares?

No but I also wouldn’t date someone who is divorced. That’s not my cup of tea.

You better be very young.

No, I wouldn’t date them. They can reach out when the divorce is final. Don’t want to be caught in the middle when they reconcile

No. In my experience, I found that dating people who were officially divorced with some time between it were more serious. People who were going through the divorce process or newly divorced were looking for more fun and nothing serious. Depends on what you're looking for.

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?
