@houstonchronicle: Dear Dr. V, Is there a maximum time frame you should date someone over 30? I want to be married, and I love my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for three years, and we’ve talked about marriage many times and what our life would look like. I don’t want to be dating for another three years just to date. Should I be setting a deadline for myself, or is that an unrealistic expectation? -B. Curious Click the link in our bio for Dr. V's full response.
