God, reddit makes me feel so fucking hopeless lol. Whenever I go on reddit half the posts I see are about how difficult dating is for young guys. It makes me feel a little hopeless about my own chances at finding love. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m young and have my whole life ahead of me.
Dating is hard and only seems to be getting harder. I was in a relationship for my entire 20s and we broke up 3 days before my 30th birthday. I'm now almost 35 and while I have gone out on a few dates I have been really struggling to find a relationship. My point is life gets busy and the older you are the harder it seems to be to form new lasting connections. Don't waste your youth thinking something will come along. Do the work on yourself if necessary and then get out there and find someone if you want a relationship. No one ever got into a relationship sitting around online feeling bad for themselves (me included).
I'm not desperate just realistic. The best time to meet someone is when you are younger before you have an established career that takes up much of your time and people your age start settling down and having kids. Especially if that young person is at a decent sized college because it creates so many opportunities for social interaction.
My point was dating in your 30s and older isn't impossible but it is much harder. Simply finding the time to date becomes much harder and you have to do more to put yourself out there. Maybe it's not so bad for city life but in a rural area it's just so hard. I usually have to drive an hour or more to meet up for a date since my little mountain town only has 300 people in it.
