| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/18/2007 8:16:22 PM | 28 and not married but having a child is still late in the plans. Many people do wait until late 20's and early 30's for children. You are not missing the mark of the chunk of the population. You just didn't get married and divorced according to the timeline. LOL.
So what if they are divorced. Usually divorced and widowed are dead last compared to having children. Men and women are more lively to overlook single parenthood profiles unless there is a brady bunch affect. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/19/2007 11:20:15 AM | | 33, never been married. Plenty of reasons, main one being I'm picky. Oh and the few I thought would qualify either married my friends or moved away unexplicably. Marriage isn't something you do just because you've reached a certain age and your family / society, etc says you're supposed to be married now. Thats why the divorce rate is so high. Why get married in your 20s?!? You don't have the slightest clue what you want in your 20s. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/19/2007 8:03:15 PM | 48, never been married, and no kids. I've had two LTR ( 7 & 10 years ), both relationships were supposed to lead to the big "M".
The first LTR blew-out because she was seriously emotionally scarred by a nasty event during her teens, and I was stupid enough to think I could help her work through it.
The second LTR came apart when I realized that the chemistry between us was never ever going to be there. ( me being stupid again )

You're absolutely correct. I dare anyone to tell me that they're close to the same person at 30 that they were when they were 18. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/21/2007 9:31:26 AM | <--- 34 and never been married.
I see things now as many people I meet will be in their first divorces. Kind of sad. | |
|
| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/21/2007 9:37:20 AM | What's always funny is when someone with a divorce, or two, asks what's wrong with you. I love that!! | |
|
| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/22/2007 11:08:45 AM | | 33 and not married but I am really looking for the right person to have so much fun with and have kids. Like I really want that special someone to have loads of fun with. : ) | |
|
| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/22/2007 11:57:19 AM | | 38 and never married and not gay! lol. Some people take marriage very seriously and want to wait for the "right" person as I'm happy being single so why risk being unhappily married. | |
|
| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/22/2007 3:48:31 PM | | I am 34 which I have never had a serious relationship and I have no one but myself to blame for still being single. The older you get the harder it is to find someone. I do believe that I will be single for the rest of my life. I don't belive in true love and I don't believe there is someone out there for me. It's going to take someone very special to make believe that there is true love out there. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/23/2007 12:20:31 PM | I am over 30 and never been married, no kids, no common law.
for me my father didn't marry until he was passed his mid 30s so I never felt the pressure to settle down earlier.
At the same time, I have found that in my dating/relationship experience that there was a period of time that i didn't know what I was looking for, or what I was looking for changed along the way.
The relationships I have been in there wasn't a match between expectations.
I find as I become more life-wise that I am looking for someone that has the same attitude towards life and that is probably the most difficult. I don't expect anyone to agree on with me on everything, but communication styles are different. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/23/2007 2:49:34 PM | 30 and never married with no kids, very sensible and wise in my books! Now to try and find a woman who is not... | |

Benny, we're similar. I knew that I wasn't ready to get married before my late 20's. Then in my early 30's I had a couple of long relationships that I/she probably should have pulled the plug on earlier than I/she did. Now I'm at an age where it is very tough to find someone w/o kids that wants to date someone 38. That's MY fault, no need to cry me a river. I chose this path.
I would LIKE to find someone, get married, and have kids of my own but that's likely not going to happen.
All we can do is keep trying to find that someone and enjoy life along the way. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/30/2007 7:16:33 PM | 43 and never married and no kids.........i get the impression that this is seen as a downfall.......there must be something wrong with him ( besides the obvious ). Maybe i should use a different deoderant........maybe i've just been over looked so far. | |

| Thirty and not married Posted: 12/30/2007 9:26:39 PM | | 20 pages of never been married. Me? 39 never married. No kids. I want the wife, 2.5 kids,dog,cat, picket fence. Is that wrong? When did this get so hard? Several relationships. I wanted to be married to this last one forever. The only common denominator is me. Not sure if I'm going about this the right way at all. It seems to get harder all the time. Single can be great but there's something in me that wants the feeling of a quality one time only marriage. Fairy tale? Maybe. what does anyone else think? | |
