So, you’re over 30 and single, eh? Welcome to the club! It’s a strange and wonderful world out there, filled with possibilities and pitfalls. But don’t worry, I’m here to guide you through the dating scene, with a healthy dose of humor, of course.
First of all, let’s talk about online dating. If you haven’t tried it yet, buckle up, because it’s a wild ride. You’ll come across profiles that say things like, “I love long walks on the beach,” and then you’ll find out that they actually just like to lie in the sun and drink beer. You’ll match with someone who seems perfect, and then you’ll find out that they’re actually just looking for a “Netflix and chill” buddy.
And don’t even get me started on the pictures! You’ll see so many gym selfies, it’ll make you want to start lifting weights just to keep up. And let’s not forget the classic bathroom mirror selfie, with the toilet just out of frame. Classy!
But don’t let the craziness of online dating discourage you. There are still good people out there, and you never know, you might just find your soulmate. Just remember, always meet in a public place for the first date, and don’t forget your pepper spray.
Next up, let’s talk about the actual first date. This can be a make or break moment, so it’s important to make a good impression. Don’t be late, or else you’ll have to deal with the famous “Where are you?” text, followed by the even more famous “I’m not waiting” text. And don’t be too eager, or else you’ll end up with a lap full of drinks and an empty wallet.
Also, watch your alcohol intake. It’s tempting to loosen up with a drink or two, but you don’t want to end up slurring your words and spilling your drink all over your date. And for the love of God, don’t bring up your ex! That’s a surefire way to send your date running in the other direction.
In conclusion, dating after 30 can be a fun and exciting experience, but it can also be a little daunting. Just remember to be yourself, have a good time, and never stop believing in love. Who knows, you might just find your Prince Charming or Princess Perfect. And if not, at least you’ll have some good stories to tell your friends over drinks. Cheers!
