Life is too short not to live it.

Don't be so concerned about it being a good time, in the right place....etc.

You're a woman, so you have more leeway in regards to financial stability (although some men might not be into....but many will still give you a chance).

Another thing is even though you are in your 20s, your 30s will be coming up quickly. I spent my 20s casually dating and engrossed in school and career. Now I'm 32 and all of a sudden I'm an "older woman" in the dating pool (at least in my area). Luckily for me (and I do feel lucky) I found a serious boyfriend. Although I'm not in a "perfect place" in life (far from it actually), I'm done with holding off!

This is true.

So yea, get out there if you really want to do it, men are generally more open to women being broke than women are to men being broke. It's sad but it's true

The question you really should be asking yourself though are you mentally prepared for a relationship? I'm not, so that's why I'd rather wait too along with the other crap.

WOW, Im getting a totally different vibe here.... I think its the perfect time to date. MAybe a support system would help you get things up and running. Someone to motivate you and really get that kick in the azz to succeed in your business. I love my job, but I would loved to have had the ambition to start something so young as you.

Go for it...dont EVER hold back, youll regret it

I suggest dating is a good idea, builds experience, etc. For males who attended college they're more likely to become open to commitment around the age of 26. I think the average age for a male to marry today is 28.

So basically there's an open window of opportunity between 26 and 33 year old males. If a young lady is wanting to find herself in a relationship that leads to marriage. You might date someone just a couple of years ahead of the curve, or "on it."
