I don’t think there’s many people in this sub who would be in the same situation as me which could be a good thing to get opinions but you can you even begin to start dating for the first time in your mid 30’s? Is it too late to learn all the things that should’ve been learned 10-15 years ago?
Having never had a girlfriend before and getting zero interaction on the dating app scene for 7 years I personally feel like it’s too late and the cut off has passed at my age (35 in May) and that there’s too many things to learn about being on a date, being together with someone, sex, love, and growing as an individual that should have been learned at a minimum of 10 years ago
I’ve seen it posted in here that not having a partner at all in you life when in your 30’s is a huge red flag which on first glance I find is a pretty unfair blanket statement to make on people but it seems to make sense when it’s broken down and analysed that people in my situation don’t really know how to be a “relationship quality” person and in a way I guess people feel like they have to coach someone when it all should’ve been learned in the teens and early 20s. Not even going to touch on learning how to have S.
Not that it really matters since I wasn’t getting likes or messages for years previously but I’m sort of at the point in life where I need to decide if it’s worth it to keep trying and feeling completely invisible and undateable or get on some good ol’ copium and rationalise reasons to give up.
Here are what netizens think:
I started dating at 30. I just waited until I was comfortable with myself. Get out there and go for it! I’ve learned quite a lot from dating for 4 years. I’m 34 now.
I think everyone dating in their 30’s is kind of working through something. It’s a refreshing change from 20’s dating when everyone is trying to present this flawless picture of themselves! Never too late
