A new set of goals becomes open to you as you approach your third decade of life. Finding your soulmate or that special someone to break free from singledom, if you haven’t already, is one of them. But dating in your 30s can be a whole different experience than it was in your 20s. The primary cause is that in your 30s, your priorities in life also shift and you start to view the world differently.
Things to keep in mind, while dating in 30s:
1. Age Factor: Set your own rules and schedule for dating. Refrain from allowing the pressure from society to tie the knot by a specific age. Choosing the appropriate mate or even getting married shouldn’t be influenced by one’s age. The only things that should matter are whether you are ready for it and whether you have already met the person you wish to move forward with.
2. Don’t let your past experiences hold you back: Sometimes the scars we bear serve as a barrier to keep us from being harmed in the future. When in reality, these encounters teach us what qualities to look for and avoid in a partner. The secret is to take what you’ve learned from the past and apply it to your future dating experiences. Avoid letting the past get in the way of building a new relationship when you are getting to know someone.
3. Be unique: Recognise your identity and state your desires in plain terms. Don’t be scared to show the real you when you put yourself out there.
4. Respecting boundaries: Establishing limits is really important when you’re dating someone. Attempt not to rush things and instead give them space and time. Although cohabitation is a major component of relationships, strong partnerships.
5. Don’t rush into deciding if this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with: Spend time with them and get to know them better, even if it’s only virtually. Let love happen when it’s intended to be because it has no expiration date. Even if you might truly want to be in a relationship right now, you should make sure it’s the proper fit for you.
