Posted: 7/26/2006 6:30:02 PM | Well I hope it isn't to late at 38 because I am 37. I better keep up the serial on-line dating ha. Anyway, my Aunt dated a guy when she was in her late teens. He went off to the service and she met her husband. Well her marraige ended badly and she was alone for a while. Then they decided to just get together after my aunt ran into his sister. This was 40 years later and there were sparks for sure. She was like a school girl. She thought for sure she would never feel that way again. As long as I remember her I will have hope.
All the best in life and Love, Lori | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 9:24:41 PM | | I don't think it's too late at all. Much will depend on your attitude. If you think you are beat, then you are. You have to face the future with confidence and anticipation. Don't walk around with a black cloud over your head, trade it in for the bright sunshine. | |

I have to disagree with everyone on here...
methinks you already met your soulmate. Yep, I'll bet you already did.
Thing of it is, is that you didn't recognize her - seeing as she wasn't the beauty and sex-goddess you've been led to believe that she would be. She was a bit overweight. She was somewhat dowdy and pleasant - but not a show-stopper. Think back - it may have been long ago... she was kind to you, and you over-looked her... that was your soul-mate.
Sorry, friend... don't look for soul-mates with you eyes, open your heart.
Aloha.
ps... it's kinda like waiting for the messiah, or the return of Jesus, or Mohammed to come back... stop waiting, stop looking, start being 'the one'.... | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 11:39:06 AM | | Definitely NOT too late. I met mine at 45, and another was darn close! You do have to be open to it - if you have barriers up or reservations about putting yourself out there, it won't happen. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 12:47:09 PM | mmmm i get those same feelings..i'm 37....time is going so quickly....no partner..no children....kinda starts to work on the mind a little....i know that at any age it can happen..i just want it to happen while all my parts still work (and that includes my brain)....you have to remember though that a lot of people you think are with their soul mates are really only with people they fooled themselves into thinking were the right people.....especially the people who go from one 'soul mate' to another 'soul mate' a week later....that seems to happen a lot these days!!! hold out for the one true soul mate!!! | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 7:56:05 PM | | How often do we all hear the phrase "just when I'd given up all hope..."? A couple weeks ago I attended the marriage of two people in their fifties - it was the first for both of them, and they were so meltingly in love I could barely breathe. They aren't the only ones I've seen find true happiness with someone else much later in life than 38, and I'm sure they won't be the last. Scratch off your imagined expiry date and set yourself back out on the table shelf - you're still plenty good! | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 9:40:54 PM | | Well I'm not 38 but I will be 32 in a couple of weeks. Everyday I get closer and closer to giving up hope. But I'm trying really hard not to. When we give up hope we wither and die. Don't do it!!! | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 3:57:44 PM | Gawd friggin no! And I'm 39 - forget soulmate - think friend / lover / debater - and the end result is someone who you cant be without.
To find this person you have to test alot out - and thats the fun and gives you experiences - quit trying to see the ideal and have fun - you'll know when you find her - when you in the bathroom doing your business and think up a joke to tell and have to finish quickly to go tell her - damn my analogies suck huh | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 3:56:41 AM | I am 38 too, and newly back on the scene. I am almost positive that there is a man out there for me, perhaps even a soulmate. I remain optimistic and open-hearted. The right man will approach me at the right time, I trust in this.
The universe will provide! I jsut need to keep my heart open so that when it does, I can sieze the opportunity.

Posted: 2/4/2007 2:18:38 PM | "The joy of late love is like green firewood when set aflame, for the longer the wait in lighting, the greater heat it yields and the longer its force lasts."
Just came across that....had to add it. | |

I don't really believe in the whole there is only one 'soul mate' for each of us. I think there is a plethora of people out there that we can be happy being with.
The problem lies within many of us, looking for the unattainable. I think, especially in today's society, many people search for something, or someone that simply cannot exist. Because no one wants to do any of the hard, dirty work it takes to make something as gratifying as a relationship work, we go on to the next, looking for that 'perfect one' that won't require as much work.
I know where you are coming from though... I'm 36, and I sometimes just feel like packing it in, and not dating or looking anymore.
Good luck to you, and all of us!! | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 1:50:55 AM | If there is such a thing as a "soulmate" I dont think age has to do with finding them or not.
Someone I know didnt even meet the person they were looking for until their mid 50's. | |
