| 30 and never married?
Posted: 6/6/2007 8:18:39 AM | | How many of you on here are at least 30 and have never been married? Or even engaged? It looks like a lot of people are getting married later these days. I think it's because people are taking their time finding the right person to marry. The divorce rate being so high, I think it's worth it to not rush into marriage right away. I'm 30 and not married, never engaged. I've had a few serious relationships, but none of them gave me the feeling that they really were the one. I'd like to see other's thoughts on this. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 9:09:19 AM | | I fall into this category. My parents divorced when I was very young but not so young that I could not think it was my fault. They met and married in a week. I have no intention of making the same mistake. If I ever do get married it will be once. It will be after long consideration as well. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 9:22:46 AM | I am almost 40, have never been and I am fairly certain I never will be; some people aren't really the marriage/kids type.
For those who are, I think a lot of people are waiting to get married these days, which is a lot smarter than getting married to someone who may not be for you and then struggling with things like children and money because you're not yet where you want to be.
At 30 and after, you've been around a bit longer, know what you want a bit better and have a bit more financial stability. I think it's a good thing. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 9:24:21 AM | | I have never been married bit was engaged once. I know what I am looking for and hope to find a great lady one day. I do not understand why some look down on others who have never been married. I just have not met the right lady yet. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 2:28:27 PM | I'm in my late 30s and never married.
Often I feel outta place on this site. As I've found that most people, 35+ on a dating site have been married at least once, and are on their 2nd go around. Or they're people that just keep jumping from relationship to relationship.
Many of them seem to look at a person who hasn't had a serious relationship and wonder "what's wrong with that person"
I guess that most of the 30 and over people on these sites are just the type of people who believe going through multiple marriages in your life is common.?
I on the other hand, hope to only be married once, it just hasn't happened yet. (if it ever does) | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 3:07:56 PM | | In my 30's and I have never been married either. I guess it's because of what has already been stated on here.. Trying to find the right person. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 4:38:34 PM | Yup! 30 and never been married but that also means I've never been divorced too.
I do not understand why some look down on others who have never been married. I just have not met the right lady yet.
It's because those people assume that everyone desperately wants to get married and if you're unmarried it's because no one will have you. They fail to consider the possibility that it's actually because you're more discerning and don't just say yes to anyone who asks. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 5:15:38 PM | Almost 40 and never married. It could happen still someday. I'll probably end up being a woman's 2nd husband....maybe even 3rd.... | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 5:24:14 PM | Look at the divorce rate. with those kind of statistics get married is not encouraging.
Kuods to those of you who have waited. Rushing will get you know where. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 5:25:33 PM | My sister and I are both 30+ and have never been married or had children.
Most of my friends are in the same boat.
We all have parents who have been divorced at least once. I think that plays a role in it all. | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 5:58:27 PM | | Yep...I'm 33, never married. I just haven't found one that I want to marry, plus I spent my 20's concentrating on work and school, so I never got around to it. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 1:08:06 AM | | I am 34 and never married and no kids. Never been engaged but have proposed once. Like so many now days I focused on my job and then was happily single for the longest time. It was never meant to be forever and when I turned 34 I decided to start dating again and eventually settle down and have a kid. Little did I realize things have changed dramatically. Its not easy now days to find and meet people let alone get a date. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:01:50 AM | | Yep, here's another! No Kids, and i would like to say that it is because of work and career but i cannot. I just simply have not found the right person. And the strange thing is that once you start to get into the late 20's nightclubs become so much clearer that pretty much everybody in there is totally wasted and not really a great place to meet! | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 8:51:51 AM | I'm 34 in 10 days, never married (yet), got no kids (that I know of anyway) been engaged 3 times in the past but it never worked out.
The options always there if the other person your with is sure about how she feels and isn't scared...I got a feeling it will catch up with me soon and me and my inner child will just have to accept that I'm in love with someone and that person is in love with me and we'll get married and live happily ever after...either that or I'll end up a loner for the rest of my days... | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 10:42:30 AM | I never been marry or engaged and I have no children. Thank GOD! I'm not in any rush...I'm enjoying my life!
I know this sounds crazy but I'm so grateful I never was. I was picky then and I'm picker now I don't want to get married to rush to divorce, like so many people I have seen done. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 11:35:12 AM | 30 and never married here as well BUT...never divorced neither which I know I be going through or would have went through. I said I'd never get married it always ends up messy or in divorce and I been in long term relationships ,one marriage proposal if you can even call it that but it was done as a last straw to save a relationship that was loveless, we got along good but the "spark" went out .the engagement lasted maybe a month...oh well, atleaste it happened before we were married and alas a divorce.....so I have not proved myself wrong this far, I'm not against marriage by any means I'm not ready to walk down any isle soon ,I cant predict the future , I could look back 10 yrs from now and be a happily married woman who knows?? I'd love nothing better then that but it's not going to happen today or probally any time soon, I wont settle as I have done before with just someone I got along with , it has to go way beyond that .Id rather be 30 something and single then 30 and living a lie ,and with someone I'm not that into , not fair to any one....I believe there is someone out there for everyone its finding them thats the hard part ..if we ever do. when ya do find your true love the one who compliments (not completes you are your own person) and then it will be right and these are probally the couples who have been together all their lives for the right reasons, I think its so cool seeing elderly walking hand in hand still in love, I envy them and see hope!  ..... | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 3:18:16 PM | | Just hit 33 on monday and never married. I think firstly it would be nice to actual have companionship, one day it would be nice to sign on the dotted line but if it never happens and your with someone i don't think it matters these days unless its the way you are brought up or it makes you feel complete in your relationship. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 3:57:24 PM | | Never married or engaged here either. Im happy im not one of the many statistics that got married then divorced. Id rather do it only once if I can help it. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 6:35:29 PM | | It's a nice idea, marriage, but I read somewhere early on in life that it unfortunately involves remembering someone's name for more than a couple of days. I've never really been too good at remembering names... | |
