Dating in your 30s

I have found that as I have aged, that dating is very difficult. The longer you stay single, the more picky you become & your standards rise. It's going on two years now, since my last serious relationship and I honestly I'm already over dating! For the first time in my life, 8 months ago, I got ghosted by someone I really liked! There is a lot more to that story but bottom line, these days people aren't who they say they are. Also, I would recommend, NEVER dating someone out of state!

It's always the ones that you really like, something has to fall through in this "new" dating culture. I have found personally, the super nice guys, I tend to push away and the nice assholes I'm extremely attracted to. I call them nice assholes because they disguise who they truly are until they get what they want or they get nothing in return and it just ends up being a waste of time. I actually had a great conversation with one of my buddies last weekend, and he told me men love a challenge, and I replied back to him no that's what boys love. A real man knows exactly what he wants and won't play any games.

This generation has become all mind games and its absolutely horrid. I'd much rather be alone than be with someone who is constantly playing games with me because they don't know how to communicate. Communication is the key to any successful relationship. Unfortunately, in todays society people don't understand how to communicate worth a damn and it's a shame!

Yeah I just gave up xD It’s not forever alone, it’s aging gracefully into a crazy cat person!

Well that, and also the older you get the fewer people there are to choose from as most folks tend to 'pair off' by then (and have kids, buy houses, start businesses, etc). So you have to wonder why the people who are left are in that situation. Experience is everything when it comes to relationships, and things like compromise, communication, etc take practice. Unfortunately, it seems like the longer you stay alone, the worse your chances get down the line.
And don't even get me started on dating apps, they've completely ruined human relationship goals/expectations.

im 17 and I've gotten cheated on, abused (emotionally and physically), played with, left for no reason, ghosted, ect. you really just have to let it roll off you're back. if they don't fuck with you then they don't fuck with you and that's THEIR fault because you're awesome.

in Greek mythology, Zeus was scared of the humans possible powers (since they had four arms, four legs, two heads, ect) so Zeus split them up and scattered their other half all over the world. 

I like to think that my other half is out there, looking for me just as I am looking for him. that's what keeps me going. knowing that if I give up then that person wont ever find their other half.

keep going, and try to remind yourself that youre amazing, special, beautiful, and that the right person will soon come along!
