My 30th birthday just passed and the first thing I thought was, "I'm so single. I'm going to die alone." I swear I'm a catch. Please date me 😭

Well how much of a catch can I be if I'm desperately screaming, "please date me" right? 😂

You are a catch and don’t you forget it!

I feel like I hear most people say they loved their thirties. Good things are headed your way!

Happy belated birthday 🎉

Pick yourself back up. Create a plan. Read atomic habits, put yourself in the mindset you are a catch and take the steps necessary for the change you want. Be clear on the actions you need to take. It’s not I want a husband. It’s I want to go on 2 dates a week, have 5 conversations. The steps that can lead to your goal. Don’t let safety bias stand in your way of taking chances or staying with losers.

You got to where you are with hard work and determination. This is no different.

Hola 🥸

At this point I'm convinced that if you're not married by 30, it's not possible to have a healthy marriage

I'm 32, so the silver lining is you haven't screwed up any worse than I have

I loved dating at 30… then i met my now fiance 9 months later

These dating apps. ARGH! Someone “likes” you (takes the time to do that) then never messages you back. I don’t understand.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
