One of my biggest fears about leaving my husband is getting back into the dating scene again....something I haven't done in over 10 years now. Especially the female dating scene, which is completely new territory for me. Not that I would be in any hurry to jump right into dating after a divorce, but I know that I would eventually get there. And I don't exactly live in an area that is a mecca for attractive, single, successful lesbians. So how does one go about jumping back into the dating pool, into unfamiliar territory, after the end of a long relationship? I'm worried that most women will be very turned off by the fact that I was married to a man and have children.
