Dating in your 30s can feel strangely complicated. You may be more confident, emotionally mature and clearer about what you want than ever before. Yet finding the right person can somehow feel harder. Everyone seems busy. Dating apps feel repetitive. Past relationships have left lessons, and sometimes scars. You want love, but you no longer want to lose yourself just to avoid being alone. The surprising truth is that dating is not always harder because there are fewer people. Sometimes, it is harder because you finally know what love should not cost you.
