Suppose you are 50 and never married.

I am also a die hard romantic and I know many will say that you don't need a man to make you happy. I have loved someone for two years and we had a spiritual marriage. We both live in different countries. I love him to bits and am glad I can feel like that because there is so much sadness in the world that it is good to share that intimacy with a soul mate. I met my love on Match.com believe it or not but I had a dream of him six months earlier. That is how I recognized him. Good luck my Friend.

hmp... ill make money and go travel arround the world.. i wont waste my time looking for someone who might just have a personal interest on me since i know the fact that im already 50... ill contribute my life to people and to humanity... happiness wont be found to a partner... it depends on how you deal and choose to be happy... its just my opinion...ahihi... LOL

If I already reached 50 and still unmarried, then I will just be enjoying life, going around and visiting people and maybe do some volunteer work. Unless fate will intervene, I won't waste my time looking for special someone. I better save money and hire a helper when I get much older than 50.q

I guess I'd marry too if I found the right person. Honestly, I'm sure you can marry, there's bound to be someone suitable for you out there. I'd recommend telling your friends and family to help you to look out for suitable men. You could also try dating agencies. Otherwise, you might also try meeting men in Western countries. They tend to be more open and would be willing to be more accepting. All the best in your search for a suitable spouse. :)

Not all of us have to be with someone to be happy and content. My brother is a permanent bachelor. He has never met the right person for him and maybe he never will, but he is content with his life. He sometimes wishes he had someone to share vacations with or to go to events with but he has friends that travel with him and go to events with. So, he doesn't miss it that much. He doesnt' like being in a relationship and he likes being alone. He is very happy that way. I myself choose to have a companion and have been fortunate enough to meet my soulmate so he is who I share all of these happy events with. Unfortunately he is never home because he is in the Army and is gone much of the time.

Have you tried any dating services? I met my husband on lavalife.com I think that it is a better way to meet people because you have so much more information to consider before decideing to start talking with someone. You can look through profiles for specific personality traits and stuff.

There are many people due to economic conditions and reasons best known to them marry after 50 and they choose women who are 45 or 50. There is nothing wrong because marriage is purely their personal activity and I know the society looks at those people with curiosity if they are not married, particularly the relatives and close friends.

It is nice to have someone to share your life with but if it doesn't happen to me, I wouldn't worry about it that much. I prefer to be alone anyways.

You will find somebody to marry you? Don't sound so desperate.God does not mean for everyone to get married young or at all even.You will fall in love when you do,don't rush it.Maybe that's why you aren't married yet.Don't try so hard.

Well I have to agree with someone else you cant rely on happiness from someone else, you have to rely on yourself for that. The someone else part is more of a companion. I would say that you should try the places that you are interested in first to meet someone than a dating service too many people lie or just use dating services to get lucky. If you attend religious services look around there, if you have a hobby you like talk to the people who also have the same hobby. You can always ask your friends also if they know anyone that is decent they can introduce you to.

If I were 50 and never married, by that time I would say I will be reasonably well off considering my Spartan lifestyle and my workaholic attitude plus my business acumen on the side. As the clock strikes 12 midnight to announce my 50th year on planet earth,the following day, I will then decide if who among my lady friends would be appropriate to be my wife. Having thus decided, I will then visit their house at the earliest time to tell her my intention of marrying her. I honestly believe she wont deny my request as there are many ladies who falls over my charm even at my age nearing fifty. She will cry with joy upon hearing my proposal, that I am pretty sure about. Next, I will heed for the nearest Church to schedule our wedding. Second, I will visit hotels and play their pricing against each other in order for me to get the best possible bargain for my wedding reception. Third, I will get the services of my jeweler friend to be my best man so that I can have my set of marital rings free of charge. Fourth, since I also have a friend who is a resort owner, I will call him to inform that he will be our wedding godfather thus, assuring a 2 weeks honeymoon in his resort free of charge. Those are the things I will do within 24 hours, if I am not married yet at age 50.

Hi again, Well from the age on your site you have a way to go before you need to worry about not being married by age 50. From the responses you have posted on my site and what I read on yours you appear to be an intelligent, sensitive, thoughtful person and would make a good mate for the right person. I believe that it is important to love and value ourselves first...if that is in place when the right person comes along we fall in love for all the for the 'right' reasons. Some people want to be with someone to fill up empty places within themselves...and that usually leads to unhealthy relationships. If you believe in yourself and think long and hard about what kind of partner you would be happiest with it will be easier to recongize him when he shows up. There is an expression...to thine own self be true. The more you know who you are, what you do and do not like the easier it is to communicate that in openess and trust with a partner, friend, co-worker or whatever. It takes awhile for all of us to be true to ourselves and then expect that of others when we interact with them. Genuine communication makes relationships easier but we cannot do that if we do not know who we are. Sometimes people wear masks in order to attract someone into their life...and then have to keep wearing it because they are afraid they won't be accepted otherwise. That is a tough road to go down. So what I am suggesting is live your life for you right now. Go out, have fun, try not to focus too much on meeting someone. There is a Law of Attraction that has become very popular in the book and DVD...The Secret. If you are happy, free, confident and believe that someone is out there for you...you will have a far better chance of attracting him to you than if you quest after a partner in a needy way. Many of my friends found their mates after they let go...and let God look after the details. God can dream a bigger and better life than we can for ourselves...if we allow it to happen. Wishing you bright blessings in your life...and love!

We need a person to care and share throught out all ages of life, why after 50, you mean that after the age of dependence we need a person, no its exactly not like that, yes the feeling that we need more after the age of 50 is because of the fear that we might be physically unfit of certain activities for which we will depend someone. Searching a person at that time, will be too risky and unsatisfactory too, so why not have the thought and select a person now, Why waiting till 50?

Hm...well, getting married now-a-days is quite complicated and may even shorten your life (he!he!he!) though if you married the right one you can get away with all the complications! Anyway, I'm 30 and still single but it doesn't worry me because at this point in my life, I can do whatever I want to do and I realized there is so much more I could do not only for myself but also for other people who are close to my heart. I realized that being single has expanded more horizons for me to pursue. I believe I can do a lot better being single and I could contribute more to society this way. However, I'm not saying that I'll stay this way forever, I have the privilege to marry the one who could accept my "free-spiritedness" then I would welcome marraige. Anyhow, for the mean time all we single people must is enjoy life as much as we can and savor each moment because by the time we tie the knot, i know we'll miss a lot of this fun things to do!
