Anyone have any tips about dating in the late twenties, early thirties?
I’m getting ready to turn 27 and its bumming me out because I’m having such a tough time dating. I keep meeting guys that are 2-5 years younger, but they obviously want to date younger girls. However, most of the guys who are still single and 25-30 also want to date girls who are 19-25.
I don’t discount older guys, but I’ve been most comfortable with people who are within 5 years of my age range …. I just don’t know where to meet them anymore.
sorry, i put this in marriage and divorce because singles and dating is mostly high school kids this time of day.
The same for guys who are 3-5 years younger … i do get a lot of attention from them because they look young, but many of them are into sleeping around or dating girls who are 5-10 years younger than them
I don’t discount guys older than 5 years older than me … I’ve given it a shot a few times and it just hasn’t given me the type of relationship dynamic i am looking for …
that should have said “i look young”
try the local dating services I’m sure you will find someone very nice to hang out with…best of luck
Well to start, who knows your taste in men better than family and friends? Start there. Have them set you up. It can be fun.
Go out with your friends to dinner or small parties, you never know who you will meet.
Hobbies, sports, church, restaurants. You can meet people anywhere you go, but you do have to get out and go places. Meeting them this way also insures that you have something in common.
Don’t do any online dating. Go to more social events, though. I feel as though you’ll find more of what you want in places like that.
Might I suggest dropping the whole age thing and just find a man you enjoy. Older guys are more settled and really don’t want to date a child……They much prefer the company of a woman……
How are you meeting guys? I dated while I was 26-30, and I was meeting people through the online personals. I chose guys who most closely matched my desired type. You might want to try that. I’d never even dated a younger guy, I would never choose to. My husband is 4 years older than I am, and we met through the online personals.
The dilemma is meeting a quality guy. The bar scene is dead, internet dating sites are a rip-off, not to mention meeting someone on the internet is spooky. The problem is that you are limiting your range. Most guys that are within 5 years of your age are mostly married. I am 49 yrs old, and have dated women that are in their late twenties and early thirties. They have expressed to me that most guys their age are immature, shallow, want only sex etc. Try expanding your age range a little bit? That might help. Where to meet them? Don’t force the issue. It will happen when you least expect it. I was divorced for 14 yrs before I got back in a relationship. I thought it would never happen, but when I least expected it, it did. I did the bar scene, the internet chat sites, the internet matchmaking sites to no avail. When I was NOT looking for anyone, she came into my life!
Maybe doing different things. Instead of the good ol’bars (filled with younger people) try other activities, like enroll in a cooking class (single older guys or divorced ones), wine tastings,get involved with some kind of volunteering, this way your chances of meeting someone interested on the same things that attract you are higher. Besides that, just be yourself….there are no tips for dating at any age, as long as you’re true to yourself and the people around you, it will happen. No pressure.
Best of luck to ya, sister
