Question - (17 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 18 January 2011)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I'm getting lonely and old. I've never been married and have only one child. I'm not picky on guys, I just don't like creepies and players. I haven't been with a guy since 2007. I was a late bloomer. Didn't grow an interest in guys until I was 20. I was in relationship with one guy for almost 7 yrs, waiting to get married, it never happened. Just once I wanted to get married. Now as old I am, I could settle for a long term commitment, because no one want to marry me? I'm crying as I type this, it just not fair.

eddie85 agony auntMany women find their mates in their 30's. There are plenty of guys out there dying to meet someone -- you just have to get out there and make yourself available.

You will have to sort through losers, creeps and players -- that comes with any age and they call it dating. But somewhere out there is a guy worth the effort.

The important thing is to get yourself out there. Try a dating site. Hit the gym. Get involved in some community events. Check out your church. Go grocery shopping when it is crowded. Join a running group. Take some dancing lessons somewhere. Get out of the house and become available. There are plenty of great options for meeting people out there -- you just have to be patient and know where to look.

Also, smile. Believe me, nothing gets a guy more interested in you than a smile, a few words of conversation and a kind word. In other words: get out of yourself and your head and get into someone else's.

Good luck and get out there!

tennisstar88 agony auntDon't settle for less than what you want. So what if you're 30-35. What else do you have going for you in your life? I'm sure you're an extremely successful business woman who has made a niche for herself in this world. There's nothing wrong with chasing after your career goals and dreams before you settle down.

There is no right or late age to get married..you can do that at anytime. Just relax and put yourself out there in this dating world. Then you will find someone. But you gotta do a little legwork and make some effort in order for you to find your future husband.

According to your setting, you are in the 30-35 age bracket. I hate to tell you this but that is NOT old! I am in my 30s and I have never been married. I have lots of friends in my 30s - some single, some coupled, some married. I know just as many people in their 30s who aren't/haven't been married as are/have been married.

You have ONLY one child. There are plenty of people in their 30s who have only one child. There are plenty of people in their 30s who have none and would love to have a child but are either single, or can't have children.

You may be lonely. Most of us have been there. But while you may want to feel sorry for yourself for being lonely, to feel sorry for yourself for ONLY having one child and NOT having been married because you are OLD in your early-mid-30s????
