Is 26 too old to start dating?

Question

I recently started dating and meeting people again. I graduate next year and that’s usually how I meet women. It’s gotten me wondering if 26 is too late to date freely like I did before.

This time around I want to have more fun instead of worrying about being the “perfect” guy and trying to please every girl I meet. I want to be more free and confident. But sometimes I feel like I wasted too much time.

Hey mate listen am a 26 year old transwoman dating is something I really can’t be bothered with either, it gets too much trying too please someone else when I can get what I want with out needing too pussyfooting around someone’s feelings and doing things too please them. Then you have problems like meeting someone who is a psycho and wants too see what I look like on the inside, then sexual assault which is more common for transwoman on both scales! Not worth it. Do what you want as long as you don’t hurt anyone or anything.

people set so many rules on themselves that can be like prison but it doesn't really matter.
eg. you want partner your age, anything on /off is a no no
or you want blond hair etc.
but when you like someone and click with them you dont care about those minor things
like what were you supposed to be married with kids at 26? How many people your age are there? And you can't force love and finding person for you anyway

I started dating at 26. Not gonna lie it wad pretty rough in the beginning as girls freak out when they find out about your inexperience. You'll just have to ignore a lot of shit and rejection for the first year until you get good with women then you'll be good to go.

I am in a relationship now but I was dating when I was 63 years old. You think 26 might be too old? No way!

AmandaYVR · Answer

You're never too old, but get on with it, Man!  And listen to this to get you pumped up...

ChronicThinker · Answer

No, it's not. Stop thinking so much in terms of invisible rules. Just be you and someone will like you eventually.

btbc92 · Answer

No. It's never too old or late. It's a major responsibility, and if you are not ready for that before, that's perfectly okay. Do what's right for you. Because a lot of people today are not worth dating and are very shallow, toxic, and will put all their problems in baggage on you.

sam2274 · Answer

There is no rule about dating. Some guys never have any serious relationship and some others have only one serious relationship in their lives, the first one.
So don’t worry about what you should do or not. Just ask yourself what do you really want now. And it will be the right way. As simple as that.

LiMBoH · Answer

Think about it this way, is it any better to start at 27? Will it get any easier?

You may have wasted time in the past, but no amount of wondering can change that. Start spending the time you do have bettering yourself and meeting women so you don't have any more to add to your list of regret.

You're never too old to start dating. There are people who didn't meet their significant others until their 50's or older (and quite a few, too).

Neeceeb7 · Answer

You can date anyone at any age so long as they are of legal age

bert4breakfast · Answer

Yeah, you missed the boat mate. Alone forever ;)

I'm 29 and recently started dating again.
It's truly invigorating if you embrace the fact that they might not like you for who you are, but there's no point pretending to be anything else.

I recently had a first date, and I told her I was thinking about her mom while peeing. That went down quite well to be honest.
You won't find the right person, if you don't show them the real person.

GhettoGirl · Answer

If you're single you can start and stop dating whenever you want, it's great try it sometimes, there are great freedoms when one refrains from enslaving committment.

xoxogurrl · Answer

No. You're still in your twenties! If anything that's the prime dating age

ItsASecret26 · Answer

Nooo not at all if anything it’s the best time. If you have your shit together and are ready to start dating again then do it. It’s never too late to date.

Maysexy · Answer

No, It's never too late. You should be more free and confident. And tell your feeling confident. There are many online dating APP, KinkDr is my favor. www_kinkdr_net? i=9hLTLD

Dinklex3 · Answer

lycanzz36 · Answer

Absolutely not. I'm in my late late 40s, dating now is much more pleasant now than it was when I was ur age. Its never to late

Avicenna · Answer

No, that isn't too late at all, but you already know that there is often a large difference between where a 25 year old woman and a 20 year old woman are in life, so take that into account.

markscott · Answer

It's never too old to start dating. I know a couple who got married in their 80's, and they are very happy.

SkipStop · Answer

It's never too late for that. I know people say that often, but it's true. If 26 was too late then dating sites for people 40+ would not exist.

desperatelyhungry · Answer

Are you supposed to just die alone because you're "too old" to start dating. This is a ridiculous question

Anonymous · Answer

no I'd actually say 26 is a good age to start date , as it might allow you the chance to meet girls looking for more serious relationships and you can still date girls who are early 20's younger than you , not a big age diff

IceCastles · Answer

No, I'm 45 and dating. How will you meet people if you don't date. I've heard people say, you're this old and dating? Yeah, how the fuck am I to meet someone, we all can't have a shitty marriage like you Karen!

MajesticTwelve · Answer

Not at all. Even 66 isn't too old to start (though you may be missing out on some stuff at that point)

derek2017 · Answer

No it's never too old for men to start dating! Women hit the wall in their 30's but what if I told you for men "there is no wall!"

taleswapper · Answer

LOL! 66 is not too old. Sounds to me like you waited until you had time and attention to devote to the project. Good on you! ;)

Rangers · Answer

A bit late to the party and you're at a disadvantage however so was I when I used a Peacemaker in the airsoft arena, but I still got kills, so you can still get laid, lol.

CocoBat · Answer

Maybe, dating seems to rarely go well, having a platonic relationship with someone and it developing into a romantic one seems better

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

No age 26 is not too old to start dating , there is people in their 70's' dating.

midnight_1443 · Answer

Never too old. Just make sure you're not leading the people you date on that you want more.

zagor · Answer

No, that is ridiculous. If you are that self-conscious, though, it doesn't bode well for your dating success.

TheFlak38 · Answer

the age doesn't matter so much. just dont expect to be so succesful since dating a woman means passing her endless shit tests.
