Looking for love after 30 may seem like an impossible task. If you're still a single Pringle at this age, you might feel the weight of social pressures to find the One. Most of your friends are already married – even their little siblings are married – and you dread holiday dinners filled with nosy relatives droning on and on about some "biological clock" nonsense. 

However, it's probably the best time to find a life partner. The dating pool might seem smaller, but it's actually just refined. For example, most potential partners are better prepared to make a long-term commitment. While very few people are at the height of their success in their thirties, they're not usually still "finding themselves" or "figuring things out" they way they were in their twenties. Most have prior dating experience, so you don't find yourself teaching someone's son basic empathy or how to do the laundry. While dating in your thirties certainly comes with its own challenges, it is still light years better than whatever was happening in college. If you're thirty, flirty, and thriving, check out these hilariously relatable memes down below.

    Jessie @mommajessiec Sure, a night out at a crowded bar in your 20s is cool, but have you ever shopped for groceries in an empty store in your 30s?
