Last night I found myself talking to a very cute Quebecois girl (with a boyfriend, obviously) about getting older and the dating issues that one starts to face. I had already noticed this a few years ago, when it was becoming less and less uncommon to be flirting with a girl only to find out that she was not just in a relationship, but actually married. These days this problem is only getting worse. Add in now the potential that she has kids (disclaimer: I like kids. I just don't want my own right now) and dating problems only accrue as the years go by.
Here's the prompt: I'm turning 27 in a few days, and recently had a long-term relationship end. I've almost always dated women who were a few years younger than me; it just seems easier to date younger women, call it a stereotype if you must. But for the first time in a really, really long time I'm now actually somewhat settled. But everyone in their early twenties just wants to move around, not be tied down, be free and nomadic and what have you (which is understandable). So you fall in love and then someone moves and then you do the long-distance thing and then that inevitably falls apart and you repeat.
Welllllllll I'm getting pretty sick of it. But I'm not sure what to do about it. Complain, I guess.
