My girlfriend of three years broke up with me over the weekend pretty suddenly. We'd been through a breakup before around this time last year where she moved out, got her own place. Then we started dating again after a couple of months. We'd just moved back in together a couple of months ago in a new place.

I'm in my early 30s, fully remote worker. I'm unsure if we will get back together at all at this point.

How is dating generally for early 30s men in Dallas? I'm not ready to date obviously but this is in my mind. Should I move cities?

I'm not sure it's worth moving just because of the dating scene, but I will say that Dallas is mostly a family town and it's hard to find people over age 30 here who don't already have a lot of baggage like previous marriages and children. In Texas, I think Austin is a better city for younger people who are wanting to meet someone single.

I think it depends on the crowd you run with. Almost all of my girl friends met their husbands in Dallas between 27-35. Most of the guys were 30-40 when they met their wives. Only 2 were second marriages & no kids involved.

All college graduates, most grad school professionals, fwiw.

OP, I wouldn’t move right away. You are prime relationship finding age, especially for a professional guy dating college graduate women 25-35.

That's what happens when people live together before marriage in the first place. That's not a wise thing to do. Regardless, I would agree that north Texas doesn't sound like a good fit. You would fit in better in California or New York.

Yes, it's much better to make a lifelong commitment before you realize you don't work well under the same roof.

My better half and I shacked up and we've been married almost 23 years. I also got her pregnant out of wedlock. Dun dun dun.
