33 and Still Single..

[Anonymous]

Figure out what’s important to you. Is it looks? Money? Kindness? Something else? I hadn’t dated anyone seriously in a long time, because I knew what I wanted and no one my age fit that description. Now I’ve found him and I’m not letting him go - he’s wonderful to me.

Maybe you won't have children but that doesn't mean you won't get married to the right person.

I never found Mr. Right, but I did adopt a newborn in my 40s.

Then I didn’t need Mr. Right.

Don’t give up on the baby front. Plenty of time.

I'm totally not. I'm just saying marry the right person will make your life better than forcing children. If both work out all the better.

Completely agree.

Do you mean the relationship, or the divorce?

The divorce. I am so much better off having split from my XH than resigning myself to a boring life with the wrong guy who was “good on paper” but we were roommates at home and not much more. I feel like I truly got to know myself having taken a year or so to live alone and not date during the separation and finalization of things. I know myself. I know what I want and what I won’t put up with. Thank God I didn’t have kids just because it would have been the next logical step and easier than starting over with someone new.

Just have a kid on your own and get a nanny or au pair. You’ll be light years ahead of everyone else getting divorced and Co-parenting w manchild ex’s.

Me too, but I did get laid for the first time last year. Those new silicon dolls are very realistic

Settle. I’m serious.

Go look for Dan Savage’s video about settling.

There ain’t no settling down without some settling for.

Truer words were never spoken.

Try to find a nerd. They are easier to lock down, and you can get someone handsome if you can put up with the awkward.

I'm a guy, and I see this a lot from my friends who propose out of guilt. I think the longest I would wait is a year. That's just to make sure they aren't crazy or putting on a really good front.

I have had 4 girlfriends in the past year follow this same pattern. They're doing really well and much, much happier.

This was me. But then I worked hard at my marriage and now I'm very happy. I think a lot of people regret divorces and feel they gave up too soon. Sticking it out (not suffering but fighting for improvement and digging deep regarding your own role in how your relationships play out) is really underrated.

Your comment is sad because it’s obvious you have no clue how self absorbed and immature you sound. Marriage is hard work and most people ARE boring after you’ve spent years being married to them. You’ll most likely end up alone because there’s no perfect relationship. If you do remarry you’ll find out that a few years into the marriage you’re in the same place that you were with your ex.
