Does dating become harder as you get older?

In a similar way, as we grow older, our lives may become fuller. Busy with work, an active social life, a hobby you enjoy, travelling, spending time with children from a previous relationship or seeing other family members. With so much going on, it can be hard to find time to meet new people or get back into dating.
