"I'm currently dating a man who has kids. Here, women who've been there, done that share the strangest things that come with dating as a 30-year-old boss lady. Yikes.īut in the real world, the weird stuff actually involves having to explain why you're single during a date, trying to actually pencil in a date when you have a killer career and family priorities, and dodging increasingly inappropriate comments about your love life from family. If you're Jess from New Girl, that means asking a construction worker to go as your date on a double date with the guy you've been seeing, who apparently is seeing other people. However, there are some super weird things that come with dating after your twenty-something days are behind you. Woop, woop! And while the hangovers are slightly worse, the sex is exponentially better and you've learned not to waste time on boys who don't have their sh*t together. Once you reach 30, you've officially achieved grown-ass woman status.
