When most people experience their first relationship, they typically don't last very long. It's assumed that the main reason that these relationships fail is due to inexperience and immaturity. It's said that without these failed relationships, it's hard to get a good idea of the sort of person you're looking for, and you also don't learn what it's like to share your life with another human being. According to this theory, the cycle of dating and breaking up is considered an essential part of the process of eventually finding someone to settle down with.
At the same time, someone who's only started dating at an older age has a pretty good idea of what to expect from observing their peers, and also lacks any baggage from past relationships. So they may be better suited to making better choices both before and during the relationship. But they may also be blindsided at the sudden loss of independence that they've taken for granted their entire lives, and this may cause trouble later on. Also at this point in life, most potential partners would be years ahead in dating experience and are probably looking for someone who's "played the game" already.
These are my two views on the subject. Which do you think makes more sense?
