[quote=Anonymous]In my early 20s I dated someone who I figured I'd marry. We had the same goals and plans (marriage and family). To make a long story short, things didn't work out. Since then I haven't dated seriously. I've been single now for 5+ years and really just don't have any desire to date or find a man who I could start a family with. I've tried to go out, online dating, etc. It's not bad but doesn't end up going anywhere. With that said, I still really would like to be married and raise children with my husband.

So how long do I continue to try to create my ideal life before taking the alternate route?

I had always figured that if I wasn't married or in a serious relationship by 35 that I would adopt a child as a single mother. I'm in no way against being a single mother but at the same time, I don't want to give up on what I had always planned and wanted. I'm about to turn 34 and honestly don't think I'll be married any time soon. I have a reliable career, can afford a child, supportive family, everything besides the husband!

Anyone else get to this point in life? What'd you do? How'd you work through giving up on that "dream life" and moving on with reality? [/quote]
