| I am a 32 year old woman and still single. I know it’s my fault - I chose to focus on my medical degree. Now I feel hopeless. I have had a fwb for the past 6 months while I was in school. I have dated here and there but nothing serious for a year now. Do I rightfully have a sense of urgency to find someone? I want kids, hopefully 2 by the time I’m 40. I feel really rushed and hopeless to find someone. |

the fact that you have a medical degree will be very attractive to the right person. You are smart and accomplished and can take care of yourself. You likely spend your days helping people and making the world a better place. Be proud of who you are and find happiness where you are.
keep dating. keep putting yourself out there. Relationships can happen fast. Children can happen fast. Best wishes! |

I was single at 31, right before 32 met a wonderful man and we married right before I was 33. So there is hope!
I can't find the right man for you, but don't waste time on men that aren't committed. You'll see signs within a month or two that someone isn't ready or you aren't right together. |

| Are you kidding? You're only 32! And you are a doctor! You have your shit together. Tons of guys especially around your age will be attracted to that. Go on match and eharmony and start going on online dates. |

Op here. I’m actually 31 but turning 32 in May. |

| I got married at 39 and still had 2 kids...it can happen. I totally understand the stress/anxiety of dating and hearing the biological clock ticking. Do also consider egg freezing though, just extra insurance for having kids when you aren't sure when it will happen. |

| 32 isn't old. Feeling hopeless because you're a doctor getting regular sex is strange. If you want to get married get onto an online dating site and you can be married in a year. |

| Don’t jump into something with someone just because you want kids. Look at all the miserable folks around here who did that (though few will admit it). Wait for a guy who is truly amazing. Figure kids out later. |

Op here. I am not a doctor. |

| You could freeze some eggs to at least ease your mind about your biological clock. |

Don't worry or be desperate. You still have time! Just make sure you're getting yourself out there on dating websites, a hobby a week and maintaining friendships.
Ditch the FWBs. You're too old to waste time on that. |

She's a doctor, she's not that stupid / naive |

Who has a medical degree but not a doctor? A dentist? Don't put "medical degree" on your dating profiles unless you want to look like a fraud then |

So what did you mean by a medical degree? In any case, you aren't old. |

You have time, but not time to waste, if you know what I mean. Get out there and focus on men who themselves are ready (not desperate but ready) to settle down. Look for compatible values and stability above all. Make it clear you're not interested in a FWB situation and dont get serious with someone too soon, take some time to evaluate compatibility.
