And it\u2019s not just life that\u2019s different, dating is different too. When you hit your 30 you start thinking about things more seriously and start to think about the long term instead of just what you\u2019re up to next Friday.<\/p>\n<p><b>So here are 5 rules for dating in your 30\u2019s<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t compare your life to others. <\/b>OK so your uni roommate maybe settled down and expecting her first child but that doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re not where you\u2019re supposed to be. When you\u2019re in your 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s life changes for everyone. Some people move faster than others and just because you\u2019re still posting pictures of drunken nights out instead of baby pictures it doesn\u2019t mean you need to rush things.<\/p>\n<p><b>Prep yourself for annoying questions: <\/b>You\u2019re going to be asked things like why you\u2019ve not settled down, why you\u2019re single, why you don\u2019t have kids both by family and by dates. But don\u2019t worry about it. Prepare your answers and you\u2019ll sound even more fabulous than you already are!<\/p>\n<p><b>Quit the game playing: <\/b>You are in your 30\u2019s now so it\u2019s quite a while since you left school &#8211; which incidentally is the only place where game playing is acceptable. Game playing in relationships is a game that no one wins.<\/p>\n<p><b>Expand your dating circle: <\/b>If you\u2019ve only met men via friends or at parties then it\u2019s time to widen your circle and start thinking outside of the box. Think about signing up to an online dating website or maybe start a new activity.<\/p>\n<p><b>Start to speak up in the bedroom: <\/b>In your 20\u2019s you probably just went with the flow and faked the odd thing. But now you\u2019re in your 30\u2019s you need to start getting what you want.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/469781804855079715\/\" target=\"_blank\">image credit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hit your thirties you\u2019ll start to notice that life is completely different from when you\u2019re in your 20\u2019s.
