I was 28 a few years ago and felt the same. Everyone was getting married except me. I had my masters and was happy with my career. Didn't date much to focus on that first. So when I turned 28 I made that my main goal. To date, to learn and to explore.

Met my husband on Thanksgiving week. Dated for a year, got engaged, got married a year later. Now at 32 I have a little one.

It is good that you had time to invest in yourself. Now if you want to start dating more seriously you should put yourself out there. Download dating apps. Don't waste your time on ppl who dont know what they want. Be firm that you are looking for something serious. It will scare off all the unsure people.

You will find someone amazing. You will have everything you ever wanted. It is not easy haha but take the first step. Good luck!

Wait till you’re 33 😂

You’ll alright

I got married at 20 and have been married for 40 years. Stop slacking! :P

AITA: Everyone waves or says good morning at the park I go to on the weekends to run/bike.

The last few weeks I’ve started to avoid eye contact (looking straight/down/away) to not have to awkwardly smile at random Susan and Harry while I’m working out.

We’re at the same park at the same time, why do we have to greet each other 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve been hooking up with a guy off and on for a little over 4 years (met right after a break up) and early on set the boundary that it’s just sex. Recently told a friend abt him (we were out she wanted to know who I was texting/who was picking me up) & now she’s trying to convince me that I’m just in denial (and so is he) of having feelings for each other. He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??
