Dating after divorce isn't romantic.
It's tactical.
If you've ever stared at your phone wondering:
- Is he charming... or a walking red flag?
- Is it too soon to date-or too late to start over?
- Why does everyone on this app say they "value honesty" and then disappear?
Welcome. You're not crazy.
You're just dating in 2026.
How to Dodge a Bullet: A Survival Guide to Online Dating After Divorce is a sharp, funny, and brutally honest guide for women re-entering the dating world-armed with life experience, zero patience for nonsense, and a deep desire to protect their peace.
Written by someone who's lived it, this book blends humor, hard truths, and hard-earned insight to help you spot red flags early, trust your instincts again, and stop mistaking attention for intention.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Spot emotional unavailability before it wastes your time
- Decode dating-app behavior (love bombing, breadcrumbing, ghosting, and vanishing acts)
- Stop romanticizing potential and start trusting patterns
- Date confidently without losing your dignity-or your sense of humor
- Walk away sooner, smarter, and stronger
This isn't therapy.
It's not a dating-app manual.
And it definitely won't tell you to "just put yourself out there."
It's a survival guide for women who've already survived one heartbreak-and refuse to repeat it.
Perfect for women who:
- Are dating after divorce or long-term relationships
- Are navigating online dating in midlife
- Want real advice without fluff or judgment
- Love humor, honesty, and "thank God someone finally said it" moments.
Whether you're cautiously curious, actively dating, or taking a well-deserved break, this book will make you feel seen, smarter, and far less alone.
Because the goal isn't just to find love again.
It's to dodge the bullets first.
