Dating At 30
Okay, I’m not actually 30 yet but with less than two months until the big day, I’m certainly knocking on the door! What exactly constitutes “dating” when you’re 30? I haven’t been on an actual date (you know - where you worry about what to wear and say and whether or not there is food in your teeth) for nine years. Nine years! I don’t even remember how to flirt – yikes! Plus, I’m thinking that dating at 30 is very different than dating at 20, simply because you are at a different place in life. Dating at 20 was full of parties and bars and doing very stupid things! I’ll be honest – that was really fun; however, I don’t want to do that anymore. Not that I’m saying I don’t drink (those who know me and my love of martinis and wine are laughing out loud at that implication). I am just saying I am at a more settled place in life than I was back then. I know I am totally over thinking this, but that is the Type A girl coming out in me (despite my attempts at silencing her)! Remember months ago when I said that I did not want to be in this “starting over” place in life? I could not have been more wrong! I am beyond thrilled to be here… I’m just not sure how to proceed.

I cannot give you advise on dating at thirty, though I have dated more recently. I can only offer you what I know. Try to meet guy's in those places where you've always heard you should, grocery stores, even High School reunions. Or maybe that one who has always been in the back of your mind. Then follow your heart. If it feels right you'll know. If it doesn't, RUN! You will meet the someone you thought you had. Don't settle. Remember this, Let him open doors, pay,& lead dancing. Another thing, YOU are the only person who can make you happy, a lot of women (No, I don't think you) think that a MAN = HAPPINESS. This is SO wrong. Just be true to yourself, and everything else will follow!
