Hello everyone,
I just ended a one year relationship with the man I thought I would settle down and spend my entire life with. I was ready to continue on my walk with God with him and we prayed together often about our lives together.
Now things are different, I am feeling really alone and having a hard time geting over the pain of ending our relationship and all my hopes, dreams and aspirations of our life together.
I have been praying a lot and hoping that God will help my heart heal and to let God into my life..

for those who can relate, please I am looking for some advice about how to feel better and to find some peace of mind..I would appreciate some kind suggestions.
How to I get ready to live my life again?
thank you all
I just want to say thank you so very much to the many of you who have commented thus far, you are amazing and so thoughtful
* Clara

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.
