The Trials & Tribulations of Dating in Your Thirties | YGBF #67

It's hard to know sometimes as well.

Yeah, it's not like

a light switch.

Oh my God, I love you.

It's like a compounding of little things, I think.

And

I also think the older you get, the less... infatuated you are with the person like you know that whole um the spark i actually think and i've been looking at some literature around a spark not always being a good thing because sometimes it's a bit of a triggering from past experiences yeah um chemistry is not compatibility exactly so i think that um it's hard isn't it with dating in your 30s things feel a little bit more level because you're more level.

No

fucking around though.

I think things progress quicker in your late 20s and your early 30s because you have done all the work

Yeah.

Silliness in your early 20s and you know exactly what you want.

You have more of a checklist when you're more mature because you've lived and experienced these things in your earlier 20s and your teens.

So as you get older, you do understand more about what you want.

Yeah.

And why are we fucking around? Yeah, exactly.

You like

me,

I like you.

Let's go.

Let's just go.

And

that's something that has been a little bit challenging, actually, because I think that I've kind of... created a bit of a rod for my own back in that I've absorbed the external noise of, you know, dating and the levels of dating.

So, like, seeing, then you're exclusively seeing, then you are in a relationship.

And I'm a bit annoyed at myself, really, because... for example, in my case, me and Mr. Lamai have done nothing conventional from the start.
