Being in debt can be an embarrassing situation, but talking about it can feel even worse; especially when discussing it with someone you plan to live with for the rest of your life. However, it’s important that you explain any financial problems that you have with your partner and that they discuss theirs with you before you head down the aisle. There are many problems that can arise if you hide your situation and the deceit could cause the end of your relationship before it has the chance to begin.
Hiding Does Not Help
Hiding your debt will never help you or your relationship with your partner. Not to mention that the people you owe that money to will eventually find you. If you know you owe money, arrange to pay it off slowly; most people, even big companies will be more inclined to do this if you call them early on and let them know your situation. You also need to make a list of all of your debt, as scary as it may seem. When it’s done, sit down with your partner and explain that you want to talk about finances. This will show them that you are serious about the relationship; and it may give them the platform to open up and do the same. You should go through the entire list of debt with your partner and explain if and how you are trying to pay it off. This can help significantly when it comes to discussing living together and how much you can both afford in rent, or if obtaining a mortgage is out of the question.

Divorce can be a stressful process, especially when you consider all of the worrying you have to do about what you’re getting, what you’re going to owe, and the attorney fees. It may seem like it’s going to never end! That said, it’s important to stay positive about love. Eventually, you’ll find that there’s going to be a point where you will want to settle down with someone again.
The question is, how do you date after you get divorced? While I haven’t personally been divorced, I have had some friends that went through the process, and this is what I’ve learned.
Things to Do Before You Start Dating Again
Be patient: Make sure not to jump into anything too quickly. While you may feel lonely without a significant other, it’s not good to rush a relationship. Set your priorities straight and know what you want in life before you take your leap of faith.
Fix the problem: Why did you get divorced in the first place? Be honest with yourself. Were you the problem? Did things you used to do annoy your significant other? While you can’t be perfect, try your best to fix your own issues before you start dating again.
Enjoy yourself: Find your single friends and hang out together. Check out all of your favorite bars and restaurants. The more you do, the more you can take your mind off of things. This is a great way to release stress and avoid sitting at home thinking about your ex.
Don’t get revenge: Don’t start dating someone because you want to get back at your ex. Not only is this going to hurt another person, but it’s going to cause more stress for yourself. Set out to find someone that you want to start a relationship with, and move on.
How to Start Dating Again
Try online sites: There are a lot of great dating sites out there that can match you up with others similar to you. Sites such as OkCupid.com and Match.com are a great place to start. While many frown upon online dating, be open to it. Just make sure that you always meet in public places.
Speed dating: Find speed dating clubs that can help you meet with people in your local area. The cool thing is that if you instantly know there’s no connection with someone, you’re on to the next person in less than five minutes!
Hang out with friends more: By doing this, you’re able to let loose and have fun. Plus, you may even be able to network with some single friends of theirs. You will find that just like your career, networking is always a good idea.
Keep your head up high, and keep your stress level low. You’re going to find that as long as you don’t jump into things, a new life can work wonders in the long run. Good luck!

0 They say breaking up is hard to do, but that certainly isn’t the case for ‘Bad Teacher’ star Cameron Diaz. Diaz told UK’s ‘News Of The World’, “We break up, we move on,” in response to recent reports that she split from baseball hottie A-Rod, according to RadarOnline. Diaz’s new movie ‘Bad Teacher’ in which she plays a raunchy, go-for-broke educator is set for release June 24th, and her character in the movie isn’t far off from who she is in real life. When Diaz appeared on Jimmy Kimmel in February, she proclaimed, “I love porn” and told a British newspaper that sex is her favorite sport. Seems like a break up is the last thing the actress is concerned about!

According to Blake Lively, things are OK between her and Gossip Girl costar and ex-beau Penn Badgley. “Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that,” she said in the most recent Us Weekly. “So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.” She added that she doesn’t let public opinion influence her decisions, whether that means talk about her split from Badgley or her European excursion with actor Leonardo DiCaprio. “I have a strong sense of myself,” Lively said. “That gives me a sense of security, you know? If I define myself by things that are always changing, like the public’s opinion, or what I’m wearing, or what job I’m doing, there’s no stability in that.”

Internet dating has created a different mindset among individuals and has changed the dating game forever. There are some people who may give the appearance of exclusive dating, but they aren’t giving up their online profiles. There are two major reasons for this:
1. Doubt: About 40 percent of people fall into this category. What happens is, after the first couple of dates, one person starts realizing that something is missing in the relationship and/or that the other person doesn’t completely meet his or her expectations. As casual dating slowly starts turning into more of a relationship, one partner becomes more committed (while believing that the other person is feeling the same way), and the other one choose to be pretentious and somewhat dishonest with his/her feelings. Keeping an online profile active is a clear indication that someone wants to keep his or her options open. This is what I call “emotional cheating.”
