Still single at age 30

hi juliana! ^__^ i'm still single. i don't have any plans of getting married and settling down yet. i've been exposed to early marriages because of early pregnancies and i've seen a lot of problems that these families encountered. and i don't want problems like that, i don't want responsibilities like that, yet. ^__^;; even if i'm turning 26, i still feel that i wouldn't be able to handle the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother. but they say that once you deliver a child, you instantly get prepared for being a mother. but i just don't want to risk it. and another thing, i'm not ready for a commitment yet. ^__^;;

many reasons that people still single at 30. the reason could be career, not find the match one, or just be happy being single life. the community also affected person to choose be single or married. i am not single at this moment and i am happy to have someone accompany me rest of my life. i know he is not my perfect man but he comfort me the best :P

i stayed single unmtil i was 29 and loved every moment, lol. I often wonder if i should have waited lol blessed be

Yes I am still single. I have seen many relationships going sour in front of me. I have seen many marriages fell apart. at this point of time i do not feel like marrying. I want to look after my parents. i think for others there are many different reasons to be single.

I am turning 29 and still single and I don't know why LOL just kidding. Maybe because I'm destined to be single or Mr. Right is nowhere to find.

I will be 30 in a few months and I am still single. I am not even trying to look for anyone right now. I have better things to worry about in my life right now than worrying about finding someone.

Running 31, and still single. And virgin too. Got into an affair, but didn't work. Since then not that interested for marriage... and moreover busy with my work so not really getting the time to feel the need for marriage or should I say not getting to look out.

I think there are as many reasons as there are people who fit this category. I'm not still single and haven't been since I was 17 but I know many who are still single at 30 and well beyond. Some prefer it that way for reasons nobody knows but them. Some have been hurt before and are afraid to chance it again. Some are afraid of commitment, some are too wrapped up in other things, like a career - and I don't mean this as a criticism, it's just a choice some people make and some really haven't yet found Mr. or Ms right.

Many people to choose to stay single for many different reasons. It's all in who is single and why. Some people jsut aren't ready for a commitment or haven't found the right person yet.

Well, technically, I've always been "single" ...at least in the eyes of the people who don't believe in giving all people the right to marry. Yes, I am gay..actually, the proper term is lesbian...Anyway, I am not currently in any relationship and haven't really been for quite some time. After a long time of searching, I've come to realise that there are some of us who may not be able to manage a relationship. I am not really one of those, but I have found it difficult to locate anyone I can remain with for any long length of time. I am sad about that a lot of times, but there are other times I am thrilled not to have to answer to or be responsible for anyone else...That's not to say I cannot do that either..I'm just saying that I enjoy having both sides of that coin...

Good question. I've played it both ways. Marriage can satisfy loneliness if you need company. If you prefer your solitude, well, the price for being single is that sometimes you will be lonely. Looking back, (I'm single once again, sigh) I guess if I had to choose I would choose single. Single leaves opportunities open. You have more freedom and you only have to answer to you. One problem I think about when it comes to marriage. In the - do's and dont's - we have to promise to love forever. It doesn't always work that way, especially in today's society. Divorce tears people apart. When I got divorced, I thought, "Maybe fifteen years was forever at the time." It helped soothe me. Enjoying the single life right now, I can hop into my Jeep and take off anywhere I want to. I can eat whenever I want to and sleep when I'm tired. If I had to choose again, unless I wanted children, I wouldn't marry. Even marriage doesn't promise kids a stable ife, but at least it gives them a head start. What's the pirate's song? "Yo, ho, yo ho, it's the pirates life for me. So, - yo, ho, yo, ho it's the private life for me. Maybe I'll see someone around a corner one day and another life cycle will begin.
