Posted: 8/2/2006 4:15:04 PM | Well Daisy,
I just turned 39 and I am not married either. Maybe I have been too picky in some cases, but
I had been engaged a couple of times, but I woke up in enough time!!! LOL!!!
If you just dont think about it, it doesnt bother you much....
You wonder sometimes, "Is it me?" but then you have to step back and realize that if you are a good person, someone will come along..in time. It is the waiting that really eats at ya!!!
Try and keep your head up, just like myself

Posted: 8/19/2006 8:45:04 PM | | 41 and not married, but not for lack of trying and alot of looking - but no one suitable (until this year) since college (where the timing was all wrong - too much studying and not enough time for a relationship). | |

Posted: 8/20/2006 10:57:58 AM | | Well, I am also a member of the club for 30 something and not married. I have had two serious relationships in my life, each that lasted for years but no marriage or children. My last ended with a "I need Space" message that became "I found someone else" after a month. I live in a pretty rural area so my options are pretty limited and I have to travel to do any kind of "nightlife." POF has been a nice introduction to the world of online dating as everyone I have written to or received mail from here has been so positive. Even the "not right for me" messages have been well written and kind. Thanks to all you contributors out there on POF and good luck! | |

Posted: 8/20/2006 12:34:53 PM | Well I am now 39 and not married, had a couple of near misses though neither of which would have lasted.
Like others who have posted above me I am still looking for a soul mate, sometimes I think I am looking too hard other times I just think what the hell one day someone will come along and be the one.
I work in a people related industry so in some ways I am surprised that I am still single, I have also had the questions, the attempts at matchmaking and the comments that I had better hurry up and sort myself out. | |

Posted: 8/25/2006 9:07:57 PM | 39 and not married, been asked a couple of times, once on a first date, very scary, but I'm still hopeful and waiting for the right one to come along. I am glad I didn't rush into marriage in the relationships I have had; well, I'm here fishin' so they didn't work out.  life can be very fullfilling without being married, but I would like to find that someone special.  | |

Posted: 8/25/2006 10:02:18 PM | I'm 37 nearing 38 and never married or had children. I sometimes think that it's me....I spend too much time being independant and wanting to do things for myself and to be by myself. I also know that if and when the right guy comes along I can and will lean on him....maybe even marry him...or just live in sin till we die 
I have always believed that it is better to be single and happy then to be a couple and miserable (or to be in a relationship just so you don't have to be alone). Well that's my 2 cents.

Posted: 8/26/2006 6:53:26 PM | Well I'm 39 staring 40 in the face and have never been married or had any kids.
Not for a lack of trying though, was engaged for the first time at 19 but was way too young and was driven more by the fact that we though we were having a baby, fell apart because at such a young age there was a lot that both us wanted do before we settled down.
Second engagement happened at 30. The girl I was with seemed to be more intrested in finding ways to change my life for the worse. Friends and family were turned away and she even made an attempt and ending my career as all these things just didn't fit what she though belonged in her vision of perfection LOL. The worst part was that she was very sweet until I put the ring on her finger and we had lived together for 6 months. I now understand what the term "woke up with a monster" means now LOL..
Basically I do hope to get married someday, but I do feel strongly that it is better to travel alone than with bad company.... | |

Posted: 8/26/2006 7:30:54 PM | 35, never married, no kids.
Came close in my 20s but I woke up to her BS just in time.
Lots of guys I work with are in my shoes. A lot of guys are divorced and tell me never get married. But I am open to it with the right person. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 4:18:22 PM | Just about to turn 35 in a few weeks.
I have never had any luck meeting the woman I wanted to marry. Sure. in the beginning of the relationship, but after that, important issues could not be compromied. In the past few years, it is children. I want to experience fatherhood. Most women I meet are either finished having kids or not interested in any way of starting a brood. Life can be bitter some times. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 4:55:10 PM | Never married, probably never will. Marriage itself isn't what bothers me its the legal aspect and the guvment pokin' their nose into my business.
The way they got married in "Natural Born Killers" was appealing to me...Their way. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 6:10:51 PM | | I am 31 and never married. In my case, I have just never found a single woman that stood out, or had simular interests. There are tons of married women that love the stuff that I love, but not any single ones. Don't know why. Those few single women that have the same interets as me are either pregnent, have boyfriends, or are moving away. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 6:15:49 PM | | Its hard to find that special person to settle down with. Everyone has too much emotional baggage, high expectations (personal or society) pressures to meet, persuiting your career goals, finding the time the to make the relationship work.At times I want to get marry, but its too hard. People got too many barriers around them to let love take it course. | |

Posted: 8/29/2006 7:56:27 AM | This is a thread that just won't die, probably because there are so many of us in the same boat. Delayed marriage has become a general trend in North American society.
For those of us who wait well beyond the average age, without marrying, no one else is to blame. It ain't them. It is us. I am beginning to think that the most eligible and suitable marriage partners, both men and women, get snapped up sooner, rather than later.
This is not a slam on aging unmarrieds. I am one, too. Older bachelors and spinsters need to decide if they want a partner. If they do, then it is time to take some action.
I still remember being thirty and unmarried. 1979, I think. At the time, I was absolutely uninterested in marriage, and didn't think I ever would be. At least, I haven't, so far.
Probably, it is good advice for people who want to marry, to begin seeking a partner before the age of thirty. The older we get, the smaller our dating pool becomes, and the harder it is to find a spouse. We are no longer fresh merchandise, and our shelf life is winding down. | |

Posted: 8/29/2006 8:41:47 AM | | 34, never married, never really close either. Part of it is not meeting someone who is everything that I am looking for, or close to it, I'm not going to settle just to fit in with my married friends, and as I get older, I am less likely to even get involved with someone who doesn't seem like they might have a chance to be the one. | |

Posted: 8/29/2006 9:20:05 AM | 36 and never been married, have 3 kids..
Almost married my girls' dad...... would have been a big mistake... especially when I found out he had another girl pregnant 2 months before our wedding date!!!!
Trust is a big issue and I'm simply happy with who I am and where my life is going. Who knows what life may bring down the road.. | |

Posted: 8/29/2006 9:28:15 AM | | 37 and never married. When I was ready, he wasn't and then I wasn't. I don't think it's all that unusual really to have never married. Most of my friends married young and divorced. I think when I finally do settle down, it'll be forever. | |
