Dating at 30!

Dating should be based on "Mental Capability" and not "Age Mentality" _ Oghosasere Osatohanmwen.

It's never too late to start a relationship depending on what you desire as an individual (though this may not be entirely applicable to a lady due to several factors and the one major factor being "the biological clock" (menopause), but it can be considered too early at a certain age (being in a relationship). 

When we say relationships, we mean relationships leading to marriage not just some casual relationship or even a booty call kind of relationship.

When we say "dating at 30", it does creates an illusion in the mind like "Hmmm....." an image that specifies what it feels and looks like dating at 30! 

"Dating at 30" strikes a displeasing expression on certain persons face, because there is an already pictorial age of when a responsible relationship should begin, which is actually being in a relationship before 30! This is for the ladies please.

In most dating websites, you hear something like the "dating rule", "date before age 30" and all of such. Age is not a guarantee to a successful relationship neither is dating at an older age too.

It's like two sides of a coin, the probability of getting a side is independent of the other. You can't say because you are mature age-wise it's a guarantee for a successful relationship.

Yeah, agreed "a man at 30" dating will be most likely more matured than a guy dating in his early or even mid-20's. But how true is this?

Though this may be a proven fact, but it's not entirely true. This just represents the vast majority of people at a matured age.

"Your age bracket is not an ultimate measure of your mental capability" _ Oghosasere Osatohanmwen 

Not all men in their 30's acts like a 30. And a 25 could even act better than a 35. 

Though statistics also makes it clear "the older you are, the more chances you have at making a better decision". It is very true. Believe me, your decisions at age 20 was entirely different or will be very different from your decision(s) at 30.

"Be wise with speed; a fool at 40 is a fool for life _ Edward Young.

This recognizes the fact that there are still fools at 40 and even beyond.

The bottom line is, dating at age 30, 40 or younger shouldn't be the yardstick to determining if a relationship will succeed. People date at age 30 and still make mistakes.

This tells the fact that dating should be based on "mental capability" and not "age mentality". If you feel and think you're mentally ready for it (dating) at 23, then go for it.

Mental capability is the ball of contention here and not dating at a certain age. 

       Conluding this write up, it is important we clarify this "nobody can ever be mentally perfect in any relationship". We all grow in our relationships too. Learning to love better, to tolerate better, to support better and to be a better version of ourselves everyday as we grow together is ultimate.
