If ur 30+ you can have romantic moments with women, which is nice.
Don’t limit the guy. He can have romantic moments with men, too.
Regardless of gender, your 30s is a perfect time to date cute single people who just finished their first divorce.
Romance is different when you’re both old enough to have so much life experience under your belt. It isn’t the same. Not saying it’s better or worse, but it’s absolutely different.
Sometimes I have romantic moments all on my own.
Well, if anon thinks he is too late at 30+ years, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I don’t know if this helps, but I didn’t meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.
But I’m guessing she wasn’t your first relationship?
Correct, but the other ones sucked
What d about fifties? Asking for a friend …
Obviously you are completely alone in your fifties being single, everyone else is in happy relationships.
If the sarcasm wasn’t clear, it’s literally never too late.
I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.
It’s definitely possible.
People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.
You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50…
As @Num10ck@lemmy.world said: it’s never too late to start being lovely.
As long as you’re alive and capable of communicating, it’s possible.

…here we go with the impossible standards.
What can I say? I’m high maintenance 🤷😁
It’s never, never too late. I’ve seen men aged 60-75 get GFs and wives. One of them even had children with his new wife. Talk of the town is that one of these men never had a partner before.

At 30+ my romantic relationships are far more personal and romantic then any relationship I had in my 20’s…
Well you had relationships in your 20s though?
Nothing triggers my depression more than seeing happy couples
depression, not aggression
…but thanks for the meme, I chuckled
It takes a lot of work and compromise. You are getting one glance at a lifetime.
I got married sorta recently. My biggest hold-up was the fact that the most optimal outcome of marriage was this: I was going to spend the remainder if my life making them happy, always being there, and being an essential part of their existence, and when they need me most, in their golden days, near the end, they’re gonna have to hold my hand and watch me fucking die.
I told them this before I proposed, and the crazy thing was, they were still all for it.
30 is too old to date a girl, yes. Not too old to date a woman though.
Yup, my brother married a wonderful woman when he was in his late 30s. They’ve been married >5 years and they still seem happy.
I’ve known people who found love much later as well. It’s never too late OP.
If you insist on it being a girl, then yeah, it’s too late. Adult relationships have their own brand of sweet and romantic.
I spent most of my 20s alone, and met the woman I married at age 33. It’s never too late.
Meh, it can be easy to feel like that. But take a moment to look at all the songs, movies, poems, and books about people who felt this way since the begining of time and know you’re not alone :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoBi3pXD_A
He needs to switch from romance animes to hallmark romance Christmas movies
decide to write a manga
Lol relatable haha
Time to buy a rope
It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but the truth is that some people just aren’t meant to be loved. I think accepting that is, for some people, a bit part of growing up and becoming a more mature person. You gotta stop being envious of others who possess something you never will and just kinda…get on with your life. Find a cause you care about. Put your energy elsewhere. Maybe stop watching romcom anime.
A big part of the problem is that society as a whole took upon itself to ridicule these people are just aren’t meant to be loved.
I don’t know if that’s a part of the problem or just a separate problem altogether. We expect people to partner up, when we should normalize people being alone. When people don’t or can’t, we might be hardwired in our monkey brains to see them as outcasts from the group.
I don’t want a romantic moment. That shit is corny garbage.
Ace?
I don’t care about the cookie cutter, and I’m not putting any kids on this rock.
I mean you can still have romance with another human being without making kids.
Gotta any pretty pictures of what that looks like? Shit don’t matter to me until I’m properly free.
I mean that’s more dependent on you? If you just want someone to hold you for an hour or so you can easily put that on a dating profile. You just need to be clear with your expectations of the relationship you’re trying to pursue. Otherwise you just kind of dance around pissing eachother off guessing.
I don’t want any of that.
