Dating post divorce question

How did you feel if/when you started dating again?

I know that someone once said that they had the feeling of if it worked out great, if not- they knew it would hurt but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Is this basically everyone's take?

I started dating someone a couple of months ago (have known him my whole life, family friend and has been a great support) but I don't want the fear of getting hurt to turn on the co-dependent side of me again. I haven't dated in over 6 years, so I feel like I am not only "new" in this particular relationship, but new to dating as an adult as well.

Thanks.

P.S. I know I don't reply often with advice, but I feel I am new to all this and don't want to give advice unless I really stand behind it.
