Thirty and not married
Posted: 5/18/2009 12:38:13 AM
I was engaged once at 18. I am SO glad it was not meant to be. I am 32 now and just starting to get back into really dating. I have had time to become who I am and get an education that many haven't.
I am happy with my life and with my past even if my love life is not what some consider full. Be happy with yourself and your choices and you will do well. I sometimes wonder if those who didn't wait a bit somehow are not in the relationship they started because they were still becoming the person they are now. Maybe their partner was the same.
I was also blessed with people around me that understood my choices and never pressured me. I was never treated less because my clock was ticking or I wasn't getting any younger. I rarely heard this and when I did it was from someone who didn't know me.
Don't feel out of place. So they are not looking for what you are. You know what you want and are looking for it. I think it is great that you are doing this. Remember the saying about kissing alot of frogs to find a prince. Well, you will read many profiles before you find a keeper but there is someone out there for everyone. So take heart. You will find that someone. We all will.

Well, I'm 42. Never married, no kids and no past relationships to speak of. I spend all of my time trying to find someone, with no success. I often wonder if this equates to to no baggage, since I don't have any exes or kids to worry about. Or, am I coming with a freight train of baggage, since I have no relationship experience and will be assumed that I have the emotional maturity of your average 10th grader?

Oh Don't you all just love this topic? I just turned 31 today and never been married. I love how everyone around me (family, friends, co-workers) are concerned about this BUT NOT me. Their comments just give me a good chuckle. I am not saying I will never marry but I just don't understand how "being rushed" in the form of constant remarks (out of love and concern) will help you. When the time is right, you will know.

Your situation is a bit different but you only need "ONE". It might be a bit challenging to find him but NEVER impossible. Enjoy the ride.

Hahhahahaha. I hear ya about the "when is she settling part?" The sad thing is that I am such a big nerd and not the party type AT ALL yet many people think I am single because I can't give up the party life. Oh well! Suit yourselves. lol

I have never been married. So far I have yet to find that special lady who has the ability to tolerate me. But I do know folks who have been married several times and they don't seem as happy as I am. Funny how they are always wanting me to get married..

Hey Daisy,

I am 36 and have never been married. I would not say that it is a bad thing. From what I have been able to notice. Most people don't even know who they are little lone be able to figure out what to do with a partner until they are well into lets say their late twenties to start with. Maybe that is why our devorce rate in America is over 50% now. The more I think about it. Thirties and fourties are the best time to get married. That allows for both parties to mature enough with in them selves to be ready to grow with a partner and keeps the relationship fresh enough for when they are financialy ready to enjoy life together. Don't worry about your age as much as who you are and where you want to go in life. After that, find the guy that fits along with your dreams and vision.

Hello, single fellow 30somethings!
I am 34, never married and no children. I hope to, one day, find someone...but I don't hold my breath.
Comming to terms with this is not too hard to swallow, but it gets easier as the days go by...NOT!
It realy sucks!!! WTF!?!
It is so hard to find someone who fits THEIR profile. It's so disappointing. I dont have time to waste on games. But it seems thats how things are done with "suiters" online and off. WHERE ARE THE GOOD GUYS HIDING?!?

I'm 32, never married...no children.

Spent 8-9 years working on my career. 6 years before that going to school. Graduated at the top of my class and then went back for a masters and graduated with an even higher GPA.

I also believe that strong, independent women are still a threat to SOME men.

I'm 32 have a great steady job, own my own house and car etc......

It's scary for SOME guys to look at a woman and see all her success and then try and measure up!
