1. Bag a divorcee

Finding The One after The One is hard work, especially when you’ve been out of the dating game for years. Step forward dating websites for divorcees! Lorna Harris, 40, a kids’ entertainer and mum of four, from Maidstone, Kent, gave it a go.

Lorna says: “My ex-husband, Paul, and I divorced in 2002 after being together for 14 years. When we first separated, I was too busy being a mum to think about dating. After years of watching my divorced pals go on fun dates and meet men, while I sat at home feeling lonely, I decided it was time to get out there again.

Because I’d been in a couple for so long the idea of going to bars to talk to guys was terrifiying. Scared, I gave it a try, but the men I met were put off by the fact I was divorced with kids. I wondered if I’d ever get my dating mojo back.

Then a year ago, a friend suggested that I join Dating4divorced.co.uk. Online dating wasn’t around the last time I was single, so it was a revelation. When the kids were in bed, I could go online and chat to guys in similar situations without the pressure of going out and making small talk. Everyone on the site’s been through difficult times, so we understand each other and have common ground.

So far, I’ve been on a few dates and I had one relationship which lasted a couple of months. Martin*, 37, had two young daughters and had been divorced for two years. We had a great time, taking our kids for dates in the park, but he wanted to get serious. I’m not ready for that yet, so we ended it on good terms. I’m still online dating. I haven’t met the right guy yet, but who knows what the future holds?”
