Hello everyone….
I’m posting this question because I’ve reached
a real low point in my life.
I’ll be 42 in July and…. I am desperate to get
married & have children.
Some background…..
Had a serious relationship from age 23 to 26.
Mutual (and friendly) break-up….. We both just
grew apart.
Dated another guy from 27 to 28. Liked him,
thought he was a nice guy, but was never actually
in love with him. We parted ways, again on friendly
terms.
Dated yet another guy from 29 to 30. He, too, was
nice, but he had been married before, and he told me
he didn’t want to have any more children.
So I broke up with him, too.
And now….
From age 31 to this day (10 years later), I have
NOT been in a romantic relationship….
(My, but the time has gone fast!!)
I’ve tried just about everything….
— asking friends if they know anyone for me
— going hiking with the Sierra Club singles group
— taking golf lessons, sailing lessons, tennis lessons
(mostly other WOMEN there, looking for a man, too!!)
— trying online dating sites (match.com, eharmony, etc.)
(Have had about 18 or 20 blind dates through these, but
not met anyone.)
— trying church groups for singles, and even "all-church"
events just to meet people, in general.
— volunteering with a number of charities, in town.
— getting to know people at work, etc.
NONE of it has "worked" (resulted in being asked
out on a date.)
(Although, I have made an awful lot of nice friends,
in the process.)
About me…. I am 5 foot 7 inches tall, slender, no
stunning beauty, but not bad looking, either…. kind,
funny, nice (enough) personality, etc.
I just don’t know where to turn, now…. All my friends
(and cousins) my age are all married with multiple kids
by now….
Does anybody have any ideas for me??
Thanks so much, in advance, for your help.
