Living Single at 30



Single at 30


Let's face it. There are plenty of women like myself who are 30 or over and  have yet to find true love. It's not that we haven't tried or had a few that made us feel like we may be close but somehow it has failed to materialize into a meaningful and fully commited relationship. Sometimes the realization that our friends and loved ones have been fortunate to find love and we have not triggers momentary envy or sadness. Instead of focusing on what we don't have I find that relishing on the positives of single life is much more exciting and fulfilling.

Not every woman dreams of the perfect wedding or even being married. This misconception is still embedded in society's ideals about women particularly in our older generations who view older single women as less attractive somehow. Single ladies like myself debunk those archaic notions by living life to the fullest and embracing the freedom that being uncommitted allows.


This is the perfect time to date and really analyze what it is you want out of a significant other. The better we know ourselves and what we bring to a relationship, it becomes  more likely that when do enter a committed relationship it will be more successful. Trial and error in dating is natural even if it is also tiring to keep coming up short (no pun intended).

Being single is the opportunity to mingle with different types of men (or women if that's your thing), flirt to your hearts desire, or just party like every day is New Years Eve. Being single over 30 is no longer a mark of shame that it once was. Women are currently more progressive than any other time in history so it is past time that we look at pursuing relationships the same way.
