How to Date a Widower?              

Take Some Time

Widowers are not of those who want to spend some time. They seek companionship. They want to experience the normalcy of life again. Take things slow during the first two or three months of the relationship. He may tell you that he wants to start a new life with you, but wait and see if he is truly ready or not.

Let Him Lead  

Resist your feeling of having control of everything in the relationship. Let him initiate and lead. You should not make all relationship plans on your own. It is a relationship. If he is really interested in making long-term commitments, he will initiate, he will lead and plan.

His Grief Is Different

You both have lost your spouses. You have gone through the same pain, but the grief is different. Every individual have a different way to overcome the pain. Understand that his grief is different from yours. He may overcome the grief in a few months or he may need a year.

There are several online magazines like Pathfinder , books like Abel Keogh’s “Dating a widower” that can be pretty helpful for you.

Best of luck for the new beginning of life.
