Current Events > Dating in your late 20's is so hard

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically everyone is married or engaged. All your friends dont go out anymore because theyre too busy with their career or their own marriage.

Plus 9 times outta 10 theres a reason why a girl is single at this age. Theres usually some baggage there.

I recently got dumped by my girlfriend of 6 years. Im 28 now and Im coming to the realization that Im probably gonna be single forever.

End mini rant/vent

keep trying. if you give up. everyone is screwed.

Dude, that's when you get to fuck 18 year olds. If you have a job and make more than $25K/year, you're like a god to them.

Just having recently turned 27 and being dumped after a year and a half, I know how you feel. That was my birthday present from her. How nice.

No, I'm not bitter...

This is what I need to start doing

Couldn't you just date girls that are 24 and up? They shouldn't have those issues and would should be more mature than girls below that age.

Dude my girlfriend dumped me 2 weeks before our 6 year anniversary. We had a trip planned and everything that I had to cancel.

To make things even worse, I planned on proposing in a few months. This was actually one of the reasons that she broke up with me - because I havent proposed yet and she felt some type of way that all of her best friends were all married.

lol if you think just because I'm in my late 20's means I'm going after women also in their late 20's.

Can't relate to this at all, 28 was a good time. None of my friends were married or had kids, so we could party and we had more money because people had real jobs.

Wouldn't go back, but I definitely took advantage.

depending on your standards. long as they're legal and interested it's fair game.

This is true.

I dont even know how to go about meeting girls though. None of my friends go out anymore

29 here, a month away from 30, its kinda hard for the reasons you stated sure but it's not like ultr ahard either, you win some and lose some.

Eh, the pool is a but drier, sure, but people your age are far more real about expectations and level-headed about relationship shit. As a general rule. It feels hopeless right now because you got dumped, but thats a normal feeling at any age. A lot of people meet their partners at 30+, so I think youll be alright once the dramatics wear off

Feel like all the single girls I date couldn't actually care any less about dating and are hyper-focused on their jobs.

They're just doing it out of habit or thinking they'll strike gold on a first date without putting any effort in.
