“Being 28 and single is not a bad thing. Society, friends, culture, all ask the question, “When are you going to get married?” Don't rush to make a lifelong commitment that will change your life forever. If you don't have children my advice is. Babies change your life.
It's never too late to find Love. And being 28 is hardly your Golden Years. Plus it's been my experience that when you stop looking for Love, that's when it seems to find you. When you feel that you NEED Love then you give off an aura or vibe of desperation.
Among those 18 to 29 years of age, 63% of men versus 34% of women considered themselves single. This dropped to 25% of men and 17% of women for those 30 to 49 years of age.
Being single in your 30s doesn't mean you weren't with someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with. It also doesn't mean you'll stay single for the rest of your life too. But for now, as long as it takes to find the right one, you're single and life is easy.
And yet, being in your late 20s without any romantic relationship experience can make some people wonder if it's “normal” to never have exclusively dated someone before. So… is it? The short answer, of course, is a resounding yes.
Dating in one's late 20s can be a challenging and often overwhelming experience. The shift in societal norms, the dwindling pool of eligible partners, and the heightened focus on personal and professional goals are just a few of the factors that contribute to the difficulties of dating in this age range.
Let it come to you, it may sound cringeworthy but it is true whether you want to believe it or not; that what is meant to be, will be. And do not worry about your age, so many people fall in love everyday, at 27 and 77. It will come natural to you, and that's the best way, so that you know it is a love that is certain.
Some aspects of dating in your 30s make the process harder—such as a shrinking candidate pool. You can no longer meet potential partners at school and probably aren't attending parties and social gatherings as often. These are hot spots for fresh encounters.
It's neither the age where you are too young to keep exploring and having casual relationships nor too old to give up on the concept of love after you meet someone who was not a match. The 30s is the age where you gain clarity about yourself, what you want from life and how you want your partner to be.
Dating is hard at any age, but entering a new decade introduces a whole new set of nuances. If you thought you finally nailed the dating game in your 20s, it might feel frustrating and overwhelming once you hit 30. The truth is dating in your 30s is very different from dating in your 20s.
It's not too late. Early 30s is a great time to meet other people who have focused on their careers like you. In a big city like NYC, people often stay single longer and only begin to look for love after 30. In a few years, people that got married early may become divorced.
