The best age to be single and dating

Best Age of Single

No matter what the topic, there can be an age related twist given to it. Is it better to be young or old? Whatever you’re talking about this could be a vibrant discussion. Is it better to be educated when young or old, is it better to get a new job when you’re young or when you’re old and is it better to be a consumer when you’re young or old?

Here’s another one though. When it comes to being single, when is the best time? Is it in youth or is it in midlife? Is it some other time altogether? After asking around we’ve received all kinds of answers. Few people have been picking their own age group though, opting for another period of life to point towards.

Teenagers for instance, get to be single at a time when there are a lot less burdens. Sure, they don’t recognize this at the time and would protest the thought, but they have more of a chance to focus on the dating as opposed to other things in life. They also have the luxury of not being weighted down by a need to commit.

When we enter our twenties, things seem to be prime for singles. Many are professionals and can afford to go on proper dates. They are experienced enough to know what they’re doing, but young enough to enjoy making mistakes. Of course, many find themselves under the gun, being pressured to settle down at a time when they feel they should do anything but.

In the thirties, being single tends to have all the pressure. Marriage is always on the minds of people going out on dates. In older groups though, the single life becomes a strange mix of people who are happy to be single, and people who have only just recently become single again. Is that good or bad?

Now, do these opinions come from the grass is always greener frame of mind, or are they based on something more substantial? Let us know what you think. Just add a comment by clicking the link below, and help continue the conversation.
