"Dates become like job interviews": Twitter users discuss dating in your 30s

Dating at any age can be a harrowing experience. It can be tough to put yourself out there, risking rejection and heartbreak. By the way, what does that phrase "put yourself out there" really mean? Where exactly is "out there??" And in the age of dating apps, you can swipe through thousands of profiles in search of the right one. And what if you accidentally swipe left on the person of your dreams? My grandmother didn't have to worry about that when she was dating! (But she did have to worry about her dates being shipped off to war, so touché). 

As you get older, the odds increase that the eligible folks around you have paired off, leaving their single pals in the dust. A twitter thread recently explored this phenomenon, sparking debate among single daters in their 30s.
