[quote=Anonymous]I met my now DH at 32 so I've been there. Now I'm in my 40s and happily married with 2 kids. I remember breaking up with my previous serious boyfriend right before my 30th birthday and it sucked.  What I did is I decided that I was going to get married eventually so decided to just have fun and sow some wild oats.  I hadn't sowed them before as I'd always been in serious relationships.  A lot of dating experiences sucked but I decided that if I looked at dating as just fun and didn't take it too seriously it would suck less.  I also decided to break up with anyone at the 3 month mark if the relationship was not going to progress to marriage etc.  I broke up with some nice guys who just weren't right for me for various reasons (ie boring, different values from me etc.)

In the end I married a guy who I never would have looked at if I'd had some crazy list of criteria.  He's 9 years older than me, earns less than me and is from a completely different culture, class background and religion than me.  But somehow we just clicked and we still do.  :). I'm also tall (5'10") and I dated lots of men who were shorter than me.  Never bothered me.  I agree that shallow criteria like income or height have to go.

Anyway, I agree just don't talk about kids all the time and include your single friend in social activities.[/quote]
