I disagree. I think at the age of 35, I'm more mature now, have been through some life experiences and know what I want in a partner. I can identify some problems early on, and avoid them better than I used to. I have never really liked dating anyway... I'm not a bar or club person. I don't mind the occasional drink or outing with friends. I'm more of a geek who prefers libraries and coffee houses, alone with my tablet. That's where I feel the most comfortable. I usually meet men through friends... but for now the gate is closed. No entry. lol

i think its impossible..or harder anyway...to know what you want or need from a relationship and how to handle being in one until you've had either a few or at least a long lasting one.

If nothing else I have to say - dating in your 20s is exhausting. Last two or three years i've been either dating or in a casual arrangement with someone probably 45% of the time and pretty much only once in that time did it get to the point of being something serious. I feel like i'm kind of a wannabe serial monogamist, mostly because I actually suck at dating because at any given point on a date i'm trying to hold down my anxiety and at the same time avoid saying anything inappropriately dark or politically incorrect cause that shit is kind of second nature to me now, and trying to do both these things in a way where i'm not coming off as stilted and awkward. And then i struggle navigating the cues of like, how these things go from being a series of meals to an actual relationship. Most of the time once it's all said and done I wind up embarrassed about something I did/said and/or with weird feelings of rejection even if I kinda knew there wasn't much chemistry to begin with. A lot of the time I feel like I would be better off if I could turn off the bit of my brain that feels the need for that validation and just be happy being single until the right person comes along. |
