35 and single? What next??

[bleedingpurple]

Me and my girlfriend of two years broke up about 3 weeks ago and I am happy that I am not with her, but yesterday was my 35th birthday. I think I am going through a mini mid-life crisis. I have never been married and have no children (don't know how) I am reflecting back and have realized that I have not met my life goals that I thought I would. I always wanted to be married with children, living the everyday family life. I just don't know how possible that is?? I have had many chances to settle but just couldn't.

Many of my friends suggest that I am getting over the hill to have children and that I am going to have to find someone much much younger if I don't get going. Although my married friends that are the same age or a little older tell me all the time that they are jealous of me because I am single. They tell me never to get married lol.

My question is anyone here ever been in the same situation or started a family after 37??

If your married friends are telling you not to get married then they are obviously in bad marriages. Don't listen to them - listen to yourself. If you want a wife and children then it will happen. Age is just a number and nothing more. Your wife-to-be will fall into your lap when you least expect it. Marriage is much better than being single if you find your soul mate - trust me! Just go out and have fun and don't LOOK so hard for her - she will come if you want her to. Age and time are meaningless when looking for the "right" partner. Your ex girlfriend taught you something important - you now know what NOT to look for. Maybe your married friends weren't lucky enough to get that chance!

I agree, don't RUSH into anything. To hell with what your friends say about being over the hill, they are just Jealous.

Don't ever believe that bullshit that you're over the hill.
Dude go have some fun pussy is everywhere, you'll find one go out and talk to a fine female.
Tonight is a good night bars, clubs or a concert just don't be nervous and be yourself.
Good luck and be a beaver hunter

but getting married that's another story :mj07: :nono:

 

[IntenseOperator]

You don't need to start a family. Redi-made families are all over the place. Most of the single women have kids already, along with the standard story of the male jerk they once decided to get on their back for.

you can always ask a Cali person like NBA kid how life is rubbing skin with members of the same sex

Well thanks guys, I usually don't really think about it but so many people fill my head with crap that I start second guessing some of the decisions I have made. SOme women think that there is something wrong with you if you are 35 and single or never married.

If your Just go out and have fun and don't LOOK so hard for her - she will come if you want her to.

been married 20years and have a 14 year old son and would not trade it for anything in the world----marriage is what TWO people want it to be-- fortunately for me my wife and i are on the same page and have the same aspirations and goals and know what truly is most important in this world and that is faith,family and friends--like some others have said be patient and when you least expect it you will meet the person you are meant to be with---good luck

34 in September and single and no children.... I've had the same thoughts...they will pass. I couldn't be happier where I am right now. There are just too many fish in the sea. Women are like taxis...there's another one coming along shortly.

...enjoy it, don't fret.... You made the right choice. :SIB

Somedays you just can't seem to do anything right.

That's probably exactly how an Argentine man feels after he shot himself five times in the head, trying to kill himself, and still survived.

Telam news agency in Argentina reports that an attempted suicide failed after an 84-year-old Argentine man who shot himself five times in the head and once in the stomach miraculously survived.

"Despite the serious injuries he was even conscious when we found him. He could not speak, but he sat on a stool and made himself understood through gestures," says police officer Herman Ruben Gab.

The man, who lived alone, apparently used a very old gun and ammunition and the gunpowder did not explode with as much power as would it normally.
Otherwise police say the first shot would have been fatal.
