Whenever someone around me says “we are getting old” I always correct them, and say “no actually, we are getting older”. Huge difference to me. I am in my late twenties, used to think that turning thirty was going to be soooo terrifying, and now I don’t. I know many women who are thirty, or older than thirty, I secretly envy their wisdom and the way they know themselves. There are some things that come with getting older, that nothing can change. You can think you are the most mature, prepared person, and really some things only time, and age will be able to teach you.
Only until a few months ago, I was stuck on – the one , so I thought (clearly wasn’t the one). He consumed me for 5 years. Something I learned from women that are in their thirties, and older is poise. They make dating look like so much fun. I took a page from their book. I started to accept the flirting, embrace it. Really let go, and get to know others, while having fun. I was so reserved before, I didn’t grasp all the opportunities and adventures dating had in store. Thinking I was holding my all for the one. Well thank goodness those days are over, I am enjoying going on dates now, being admired. Who doesn’t like it? I am enjoying getting to know me again through dating, and learning not to take any of it seriously. Really enjoying having a more casual approach FINALLY ! Its funny how as soon as you let go, and stop having expectations they all come running. LOL I haven’t had this many dates in EVER. LOL It’s all very fun !
Beginning to know myself again, chocolates, flowers, dinners, wining, dining, gifts, trips and everything in between. Letting a man prove his appreciation for me. They’ve got to prove it. Before I assumed but now, they definitely gotta prove it. After all, we’ve only got one life to live. Why would I hold back. For all I know, the man whom holds my heart is at the other end of the world.
I am not saying I don’t believe in settling down, I am at a part of my life where I need to live, and let go of my inhibitions. I truly need to learn what it means to live more freely, and learn to let people in. Slowly but surely, I am sure it will happen. When I meet the man who my heart belongs to, I will be ready.
What do you think? Did dating get more fun the older you got? Why do you think it was that way?
