Welcome, 30-somethings across the web. Being single and 30 used to be considered strange – a red flag even. Back in the day, people assumed you didn't have your life together or that you simply weren't interested in romance if you were still single at this age. However, society has come a long way, and many more youngins are taking their time before making big commitments. It's not unusual to want to feel a sense of stability in your life before engaging in romantic affairs, but Millennials and older Gen Z are reaching career and financial milestones at a later point than people in previous generations. So, plenty of us are in the same boat.

Even still, looking for love in your 30s can feel like you're serving a sentence in purgatory. The dating pool is getting smaller, the pressure to find someone is getting overwhelming, and your aunties keep going on and on about "biological clocks." When this happens, take a deep breath, relax, and recall the famous line from 13 Going On 30, "You're thirty, flirty, and thriving!"

    Martin Pilgrim @MartinPilgrim1 I had very little success before the age of 30. This has made it much easier to cope with having very little success after the age of 30.

  • This is so true. I always look back at pictures where I thought I was ugly and realize that I looked great! Well, except for pictures of me when I was in high school and early college. I thought I was hot stuff and actually looked pretty cringey.

    screenageralex Being 18-25 is like playing a video game where you've skipped the tutorial and you're just sort of running about with no idea how anything works rumbi Being 25-30 is like later on in the game when you've figured out how things work, but have made poor leveling decisions along the way and are now horribly underpowered for what you're supposed to be doing. pengychan Being 30-35 is coming to the conclusion that if wildly swinging a sword at random while screaming has gotten you this
