How to Dodge a Bullet: Survival Guide to Online Dating after Divorce - Paperback

by C. C. Steele (Author)

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.
