Trust me being single is much better than being with the wrong partner.
Enjoy your single life while actively keeping your eyes open for opportunities.
Everyone has different pace in life so really no need to compare against others, there's no married late or married early, as long as you are happy thats all it matters!
Well said!!! I’d rather be alone than wish I was alone.
Yes! Was single AF all my 20s and early 30s. Very lonely there for awhile. Did all the apps and nothing. Met my now fiancé during pandemic networking for work (really!) at age of 33. It came out of no where and I am so happy. We get married later this year and plan to get pregnant right away.
Focus on your career, yourself, and friends and family for now. Do the apps if you want or don’t if you don’t like them. Trust the universe.
This is encouraging! The apps overwhelm me and people are creepy. Glad you found your happy!
How costly to keep the eggs frozen?
Also, if you’re considering freezing your eggs, you should look into the success rate for frozen eggs vs frozen embryos. It might be worth looking into finding a donor and freeze both eggs/embryos to increase your chances. Ughhh I hate that women have to think about this while men can go and father children at 73 lol
My sister and my cousin met their spouses at 28 and 34 respectively via dating apps.
My mom my my dad at 32, married at 34, had me at 36 and my brother at 38 - definitely not too late for you!! There are a lot of benefits to doing these things later in life, too (more money, established career, more self assured, etc)
Met my fiancé in 2018 on a dating app and we are getting married next month, I’m 35 and work in tax. I just decided when I wanted to start dating that I set some more boundaries for my time because meeting someone to spend my life with was something that was important to me and I had pushed that to the back burner for too long.
Got married at 32. 1st child at 35, then 37 and then squeaked out last one at 39. All great kids- healthy intelligent and athletic. It will happen, don’t stress or force it. Go out and have fun with friends. It happened that way to me. A friend of a mutual friend was out at the same time and introduced himself to me and rest is history. I almost said no to going out because it was a work night and I was tired. Glad I went because the next morning I went into work saying “I think I met my future husband”. Yes I did. :) and you will too.
Sounds like you need to be a relationship motivational speaker. 🥳😭
I would say if you’re religious try to join some sort of group at church. Might meet a decent person there. Definitely don’t rush. Take it from someone who knows, you’d rather be alone than with someone you’re not sure about.
Be patient everything will fall into place. When you don’t think about it, that’s normally when it will happen
It’s ok to have baby for woman at 40yo, baby will be healthy! No problem at all. You can have baby by yourself, if you will not find anyone.
My life changed in a matter of a year (almost 31 just got engaged) I was painfully single for a number if years making dating apps my second job and so sick of it. I moved back home to be closer to family since I was feeling so alone and that I wouldn’t find anyone. In Dec 2020 I reconnected with someone I knew growing up but we definitely ran in different crowds he was much more of a partier and I was a goody two shoes studier in high school. We went out on a couple of coffee dates in early 2020 and dated for about 3 months we broke up because things got too intense too quick. We spent the next 6 months apart during this time I very much assumed he went back to his kinds f boy ways and was really sad for feeling stupid. We went back out in September 2021and talked about everything by May we moved in together and in Sept 2022 we got engaged. Getting married in June 2023. Its wild how much can change in a little time.
Late 2020 into early 2021 were our first dates ***
Same here 32 🥲🥲
Wondering this, just turned 27
Married at 24, divorced at 27 and have a 2 yr old daughter. Yes all happened unexpectedly.
Met my now spouse at 29 and had a rough patch so we didn’t get married until 33. Waited until after passing the CPA exam to start trying for kids. Now at 37 we have two kids together plus our beautiful oldest from my husband’s previous relationship. Just hang in there!
Pray about it give it to God, or whoever you believe in. But be patient I’m 41 and still single
Met my now fiance at 30 on an airplane on a business trip. We did the long distance thing for about a year, moved in right before covid. I could t be happier. Married young, dumb and broke 23-26 I never though I'd find anyone I'd want to marry. Life has a way of working out. - Best of luck!
I spent a long time in a bad relationship and got out shortly before 30. Reluctantly went on a date with a guy I had been friends with for years shortly after that breakup. We’re now married with 2 kids. It happens when it’s meant to happen. Make sure you put yourself out there.
As a 27 year old that just got broken up with and thought I’d be married with kids.. this thread gives me sooo much hope. Def going to look into freezing my eggs. I want to be a mom so bad.
