[quote=Anonymous]I know a couple women in this situation who went the sperm bank route. They have a lot of support from their parents and seem happy with the choice.

I think it really depends what you mean by “settling.”  If you mean giving up fanciful romantic notions of perfection, yes, you should give those up. If you mean marrying someone you don’t really like or don’t want to have sex with, no, don’t do that.

Do recognize that in dating, no amount of love and excitement can overcome just not wanting the same life/life path. Don’t date men who don’t want a family/family life. Wanting the same life is really important to being happy long-term in a marriage. Some people call it “values” but I think you can have compatible values and still not necessarily want to be living the same life 10, 15, 20 years down the road. Find someone who wants the life you want, who you like as a person, who you like spending time with, and who you want to have sex with.  If you don’t find that and have the family support - sperm bank. [/quote]
