Regardless of how long you were married, or the circumstances thereof, one important piece of information you need as a newly-single is that dating these days takes two forms. Some people are in the dating arena solely as a social pursuit; some date as a means of finding and selecting a potential new partner. With this information in hand, you need to consider where you yourself are at, and also keep it in mind regarding the new people with whom you interact. As the main purpose of beginning to date again after a divorce is to reestablish yourself as a single, and to take that single status into the social scene, it is unwise to consider such dating to be a means of leading to another committed relationship; and it is equally unwise to put yourself in the position of dating someone who is looking for such a relationship.
