30 something and dating...

Why not? It's a lot more popular these days then it used to be.  Many more are marrying later, waiting for "the one", and some have just simply been jaded by their past.  They've turned committment phobes, haters of love...or maybe they think they will be good looking forever.  I'm the first to tell you that ain't gonna happen.  Stuff starts to fall, lines start appearing, your vacations start showing through sun spots...all the sudden you realize you're not in Kansas anymore and Scarlett O'Hara has left the building.  Clark Gable isn't waiting at your door heffer. 

But don't get it twisted....all of your married friends have flickers of jealousy while others simply wish they were you.  If you haven't learned that the grass is always greener by the time you are 30 something, you may have a problem. 

You get used to "doing your own thing" while people say, it'll happen when you least expect it....and look at you with solomn eyes.  The problem, or lack there of, is that one day you realize how enjoyable it is to be alone.  How much you gain excitement from eating a bowl of cereal for dinner, or a side of steam in a bag veggies, and not have to worry about anyone else bitching.  Going to bed when you want, sleeping through the night because no one is snoring....working out all the time, because, why not? Better then another bottle of wine on the couch, and you look damn good afterwards.  Not to mention Number 2's, burping, farting... and watching all of the garbage/smutt TV you damn well feel like it.

What I know for sure is that the grass is always greener and it's easier to be single then it is to be in a relationship.  So if you are in one, and happy that is...cherish it!  Spend time on it, and sacrifice.  If you aren't, DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO DO! When you want to do it.  All the time.  Laugh as much as possible, spend time with your friends.... go out and have that drink when you are invited even though you don't feel like it, and travel as much as possible!  Kids are expensive, and even though a double income is better than one, you also have two people to pay for. 

So if you are 30 something and dating, don't bitch about it.  If you do, just click here. Don't wander around with a pouty face and wish you were someone else, because honey, others wish they were you too. 

I'm just throwing it out there..... if you halfway agree, this is an amazing viewpoint from a guys perspective.  And I kindof wish I had his number....
