I surely hope to have a bigger bank account by then.
Hopefully you'll be more established and mature in the next few years. You have a long ways before you even hit your prime. Concentrate on your ambitions and the rest will fall into place.

I seriously hope so. Can't wait to get over this period (finishing university and finding a proper job).
I'm 23 and I'll need two years to finish my master's degree. Assuming I get a job right away, I'll would want to give it about 3 years to settle into the company, since first jobs very often are not stable. I would also want to save a bit of money and move out of my mother's house.
That would make me about 28 years old by then. Is it a good age to start dating?
I say date now and let the women know you're not serious until you're done with school and settled into your career in a few years. The only reason why I wouldn't date is if you think it'll be distracting from your studies. Then I'd say wait until your done with school + 1 year of work under your belt if youre worried about job stability.
You have some very strict views on things. You may want to start dating now before it gets worse. Relationships are based upon give and take, and you don't seem to want to "give" much.

I need a good bank account and my own place to feel comfortable while dating but I understand that might not be essential to other people. It is to me, though.
To each their own, but bear in mind what's important to you will not necessarily be important to others. Also, who you are as a person matters a lot, not just what you have accomplished on paper. What if you have a good job, your own place to live, but you have a personality quirk that is a turnoff to women, or you aren't very good at compromise?
There are things about yourself that you learn through having relationships with others. Since I was someone who started dating at 16, I couldn't imagine delaying those experiences for 12 years. It doesn't get easier as you get older.
I agree. I would also add that there are certain things you learn about being in a relationship that are easier to learn when you are younger. Often times, people get more set in their ways the older the they get - it makes it harder in some cases to navigate certain aspects of being in a relationship. If you have been in relationships starting at a younger age - you understand the ways you need to compromise or accommodate another person a bit more easily. This has just been my observation - everyone is different of course. I just don't understand wanting to put off dating or having relationships.
And I'm not sure why things would be easier once you have a job. I mean - if you can't balance out your life now - why would it be easier later? What if you feel you need to focus on your job until you get comfortable with it. Then maybe you'll need to focus on your job just until you get your first promotion. Then your second promotion. And so on and so forth.
Some people might learn better when they are younger but many don't and I see it because, as you can imagine, I'm surrounded by young people all the time.
I also saw it with one of my brothers. He dated while still at university and it was drama all the time. Fighting over nonsense. Sleepless nights.
And then he moved out of my mother's house last year, got his job, kicked all the older girlfriends to the curb and gets along much better with the current gf. Everything seems cooler now that he has finished his studies.
I seriously hope so. Can't wait to get over this period (finishing university and finding a proper job).
Youre a smart man with a plan. Nvm the wrench throwing saboteurs trying to pursude you into dating when obviously, you're just not ready and want to focus on more important things - like your future - education and career.
Your original question "is 28 a good age to start dating" not "should I be dating now or is it going to be harder at 28" LOL
OP, ill be turning 28 sometimes this year. I, Like you, have no dating experience either. In my previous post, I wrote you should do whatever works for you. I still believe that. But you should still think about pursuing dates while still in school. You're not looking for an LTR, so that's not an issue. You may be able to find time in your schedule for the occasional date. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try. A part of me wishes I started earlier, but it is what it is.
