Hi,

Quick one for all you aunts out there.

Im 29, single and feel like a failure because all my friends are either in committed relaionships or married at this stage.

My question is, am I putting unreasonable pressure on myself to expect that at this point of my life I should have found the right girl and be thinking 2.5 kids m the house , the dog etc....

Does that sound stupid. I feel like Id be a lot happier if I could cnvince myself that theres plenty of time for all that.

Tahnks for any advice,

Hey guys thanks for all the advice.

As for chasing the right Girl well when I meet her Ill know. I do keep myself active and out there (triathlons, duathlons and stuff like that)

Ive never been into one nighters havent the smoothness to convince a girl to sleep with me after one night and wouldnt want to either. Maybe im a prude but I much rather knowing someone and really liking them before sleeping with them.

Anyway thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it.

Be confident in yourself and please guys go and chase the girl you like. Build on a strong friendship. Find those who are single and around 25-28 they will be happy to know you a little better~

hi, I felt the same way last year when I was 29, keep in there it will happen. There are a couple of things I would advise you do:

1. Look after yourself - gym, nice clothes, hair cuts, good hygiene etc. The better you look the more confidence you will have any the more women will be attracted to you

2. When you meet someone you like play a little hard to get, this doesn't make sence at all but it really does work. Women like a challenge and are not attracted to men that are 100% available.

3. Maximise your social life - try to meet new people, join a club a gym or start doing something different. Try online dating, I met a few girls on the internet, I didn't end up with any of them but a few were nice enough.

4. Stop the one night stands, if you do have one nighters it's a good time to stop doing this and also stop any casual relationships. You need to have had a clean break for when you eventually meet the woman of your dreams.

I was looking for a partner from the age of 25, I had a few flings etc but didn't meet anyone I really liked until the end of last year. Now we like together and it's really good.

You are only 29 ... many of people do not settle down until 35 or 45.

Perhaps you have a number of life lessons to learn before you able to settle down.

Perhaps you need to make a change in your life to do what you want, rather than follow your friends what they do.
