This shouldn’t be a problem if you are both ready to put in some work, but it all depends upon how he feels because the ending of any relationship is processed differently by both people involved

I am a 24-year-old woman and recently broke up with my boyfriend because I couldn’t handle the pressure of being in a relationship. There was nothing wrong between us, but I felt as if I had to spend a lot of time meeting him and trying to get to know him better, which everyone takes for granted but which used to cause me a lot of anxiety because I am an introvert. I had some time to think about it after we broke up and have begun speaking to a therapist to handle my anxiety. It has been five months since our relationship ended and I feel as if I am more prepared to handle it now. I miss my ex because he was a genuinely kind person, but I don’t know if he will believe me if I tell him that I want another chance because I can do better this time. How do I convince him?
You can only convince him if he decides to take the same risk you’re prepared to take, after which it is only actions that can prove your intentions. It may be better to reach out, ask if he is okay with chatting, and tell him why you think your relationship didn’t work out. You can talk about therapy if you’re comfortable with it and explain why you feel more confident. This shouldn’t be a problem if you are both ready to put in some work, but it all depends upon how he feels because the ending of any relationship is processed differently by both people involved.
Is it okay to give up on dating at the age of 30 if nothing substantial comes out of it?
You’re an adult and are perfectly capable of making any decision about wanting to meet or be with anyone. However, a bit of introspection is also important, and you should ask yourself hard questions about what you mean by substantial, and why you think this is what has happened to your dating life.
