| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/2/2007 2:05:13 PM | | 41 no kids never been married YET! Hope an dhave faith I will find THE one. Hav ehad health issues but it didnt stop me. Didnt dtae until I was early 30s. Not fo rlack of trying. Was often tolfd from email dates "I Look like I shodl BE with someone" so they wouldnt have attempted asking me say ina grocery store or club( at th etime) or wherever else. I was in everythig you could think of. Hike ski clubs, traveled, singles events(yuk),bookstores ,I went up and talked withguys- I htink my confidnece was scary to them.Emailing has been wonderful! I ve had a few serious guys CLOSE but ultimately we got out before it happend and couldve gotten worse. It ll happen if you have faith! | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/4/2007 2:02:16 AM | Nope, never married. I'm 34 at the moment. I've proposed twice...to the same woman (I'm a masochist, what can I say) but I never did get married. A lot of people are divorced, etc by the 30's but I don't think it's too unusual that many have not. Like you, many have had children, long term relationships, etc but never actually married. Today isn't like the days of Leave it to Beaver...it's all good, it all works.
I just need to find a slow enough runner. =)

| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/4/2007 11:29:09 AM | Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an up date for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage
Dino, thank u for this. It is priceless! Made me laugh and feel great. Like most people, I had bad experiences with dating, esp in my early 20's. I quit dating for a few years, and now at age 30 am ready to dive back in. Many of the things Mr. Rooney mentioned are thougths I have pondered since I started dating again. I think of all my experiences, good and bad, as learning opportunities that have helped me gain insight. I do know what I want now and will not settle for anything less. I do not regret reaching the age of 30 without having been married. Like many people who have posted here, I want to be sure of such a commitment, and I have never felt that. I am very independent and happy with my life. When I do meet someone and have a lasting relationship, it won't be because I am looking to start my life, it will be because I am looking to enhance a life that is already wonderful and fulfilling. And we will accept and love each other as is. I'll settle for nothing less | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/5/2007 6:28:19 PM | iam male, 39 , no kids, never been married, dont really want to be now---i would rather have great friends. shay29For all u girls who feel u have to get married just a little advice "NEVER SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST" 69----i dont really understand what you mean by this. If some one does want to get married then who is saying she/he is second best...just because they have got married. I like to pursue my hobbies which is some thing i would not have been able to achieve if married. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/5/2007 11:53:14 PM | Out of my friends and me, I am the only one that has never been married, but I am also the only one able to say, I have never been divorced. I refuse to get married until I know he's the right one. Some of my friends have been divorced several times, even.
I have been lucky enough to find out that I wanted a divorce before I married him. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 6/6/2007 11:03:09 AM | | I married at 30 and found that people must be very much alike by that age to want to stay married or live together. We weren't and divorced over 17and a half years later. Now, 4 years after that, I'm finding I need the compainion ship of a female but the only ones around tend to be unhappy divorcees, career womem, prostitutes, and sluts. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 11/6/2007 3:41:10 PM | | I'm 53 and never been married, but I have lived with someone for 7 years. We both got the 7 year inch and parted as friends sort of. He was seeing someone else before I moved out but I got over it . I just say " I'm a victim of circumstance" | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/11/2007 10:01:14 PM | | I'm 43 and I'm still single. I feel very out of place. I have at times referred to myself as a "man without a country". I can't relate to the people who are married, divorced, or single parents. I haven't found too many women on here in a similar situation; maybe two or three. The few women I've dated in the past year or so (of course, none from a dating site) seemed to care. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/12/2007 3:19:50 AM | To quote a movie from the 1960's ; Come Blow Your Horn "You're either married or you're a bum". I was raised on movies lie that one I just quoted, it applies to males at least. | |

|
| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/13/2007 10:30:12 AM | | I was 30 and not married in 1979. Since then, I have not gotten married. In the future, I plan to not get married. Other than that, I am also childfree, which figures, since I never married. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/14/2007 7:47:38 PM | 40 here and never married. All my siblings and friends are married with kids so I always feel like such an old maid. I'm not unhappy with my life, just feel unfulfilled. I was very shy and introverted when I was younger and after years of being an outcast and no one showing me the least bit of interest, I just stopped even trying to date. I'm a lot more social now, but going places by myself like a singles mixer would still scare the living daylights out of me! So internet dating has really given me a second chance but I totally understand feeling like you are just on a totally different page than all the divorcees, single parents, etc. I've met some guys like me that are still single, but they just come off as so desperate sometimes. Just because I'm single at 40 doesn't mean I want to go out and get married to the first guy that comes along! Nor do I want someone that acts like I should be grateful they'll date me. I'm a smart, independent, successful, funny woman, and have a lot to offer should the right guy come along.  | |
