This article was on MSN this morning. I think it has some decent advice for all of us, at different ages and stages of dating and relationships:

The section on dating in the 30s hit home for me. I ended a relationship that was going nowhere after 5 years, so I think the "why waste more time?" question is a good one to ask. If you want to get married, that desire is not likely to go away.

I missed this quote in the first read:

>> Culbreth adds that even though there is a “trophy wife” stereotype surrounding men and middle age, statistically men marry women within a three-year range of their own age. “Boomers want to be with someone who remembers the Beatles and when Kennedy was shot,” she says. <<

That's good news for those of us convinced that all the men out there want much younger women. See the "more of us than them" thread.
