I know it's hard to be patient, but all the advice that you need to take it slow is spot on. Stay off the dating apps.
Whatever you do don't lead with "I live on 5 horse acres that is paid off," you will attract the wrong kind.
My advice would be to not start dating until at least 6 months after the divorce is final. A man who looks desperate is going to attract desperate women.
Don't get serious early, don't do anything but casual dating for 6 months or a year after you do jump into the pool.
A good future partner will wait a year before talking about marriage. My wife tells all her friends, "Give it the gift of a year" when they meet someone.
We gave it the gift of 10 years before we married. We were best friends for a decade and it turned into a marriage for the ages.
I know it's hard to be patient and you may get lonely, but a few months of loneliness is a small price to pay to avoid years of pain.

OK, Vicki just chimed in with a great explanation of WHY you need to wait. Thirty five years of marriage changes you. You spent 35 years as the guy who is part of a couple with that woman and now you need time to figure out who you are as an individual. You have to become a different person than the guy who was married to that woman, and discovering who he is isn't going to happen in a few months.
