technically you should have more of your shyt together, whatever your shyt (doesn't just have to be material things) is. but, overall, you should know what you want more than you did in your 20s so that means you'll have a better idea, when you encounter a new person, if you want to deal with that new person. i'd say dating could be potential faster than it was in your 20s, especially if you set it up that way. and, given the fact the concept of dating is so ambiguous now, you'll end up with more potential dates even when you didn't think you were on a date.
