Apps and websites have been a major catalyst in the dating community, and the doors have opened for all demographics.
They say nothing lasts forever, and while I do see long-term, committed, monogamous relationships (which is amazing!), I also see dating after divorce and other alternative situations.
Permanence is replaced with living in the present (a mindful act) and appreciating things for what they are now. As our culture continues to redefine itself, the narrative of “you only get one love” is being rewritten. I find it refreshing that society has begun to validate the simple fact that relationships (no matter how short or long) can still be meaningful. And if age ain’t nothing but a number ( RIP Aaliyah), how are we to navigate what is appropriate (or not) when it comes to finding a partner? Add in the popularization of divorce over the last 50 years and the introduction of dating apps and matters of love, sex, and how we connect are utterly transformed. For example, a 2003 AARP studyreported that 34 percent of women over 39 years old were dating younger men. We are seeing large age gaps in the dating pool and not just the typical old-man-younger-woman narrative. Let’s be honest, when it comes to dating, we live in a lawless era where love is love and ( almost) anything goes.
