single at 29

Ignore them, you don't have to explain anything to anybody! If more people had the good sense to wait until they were mature enough to know what they expected from a spouse (and not settle for what ever came along). then the divorce rate would plummet, and children could be raised by two parents instead of one.

i dont blame you for feeling awkward at these people who gives you that particular look when you say you are single at your age. they dont understand really. i feel that too but i am only 27 years old but people seem to actually mind that you are not attached when you reach the age of 25. hehe i wonder why it is always a big deal here in the Philippines!

My wife was 33 when we got married in Tokyo, Japan and I was 40 years old. This was 22 years ago and we are living in Monroe, Michigan USA for the whole time but we just bought a house in Negros Occidental, Bacolod City ..as this is where my wife is from. My asawa is a pinay too and she and I have retired two years ago and we have a home here but we are ready to sell this house if we can get a buyer. The market for homes is very bad in the US but sooner or later someone will buy this house. Yes, it is good to have a dream and when my wife announced that she was married and introduced me as her asawa her friends could not believe this as my wife is very quiet and never talked about me very much. Good luck in finding your Mr...God will show you the way..Prayer can work miracles. God Bless you.

hi belle, you dont have to worry about being single at 29. 29 is still a young age. i guess people would look at you strangely because they arent used to seing women being independent [being without a man i mean]. maybe in their time they marry at an early age. or its just time for them to marry. just like it still isnt your time to marry the person you like. in the mean time you can always make new friends, and who knows one of them may be the one. but in the mean time you dont have to look for mr. right because sooner or later he will come. you can just have fun with mr. right now? hehehe.. you know the person who you feel that makes you smile, the person you have fun with at the moment. cheer! :)

yeah i agree its hard to find mister right and its good thinking rather than jumping right into a relationship

Hi there! Actually there is nothing wrong with being single at the age of 29 but i guess you really have to find your other half of your life. He will not come automatically in your life but you really have to work on it inorder to find that person that really suites your dreams.

We got married at 28 after having a wonderful time as singles and then meeting each other a year before we were married. That was 38 years ago and feels like yesterday! Time? No problems - make your own time. Have fun.

There's nothing wrong with you at all. Don't listen to them. In most cultures, girls are raised to think they're "supposed" to get married at a certain age and if they don't the society tends to treat you like you're abnormal. You're NOT. You're living you're life in the way that's right for you. Don't let anyone telly you differently.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm sorry people are doing this.

dont care bout them,what matters is that you are happy

there is nothing wrong with being 29 and unmarried. I was thirty before I met the guy I would marry and we were only engaged for six weeks. We met at work and quarrled over how to make a surgical bed properly but the sparks flew and I knew he was the right one for me. We had thirty four years of a good marriage. so do not give up and just give them back weird looks . okay?

Ha! you call that weird? I'm 32 and single; I'm in a relationship with this wonderful woman, however. Just enjoy life :-)

exactly! these days, there is no one fit to be called a boyfriend. no one has captured me yet... it's good to be single!!!

well, people these days are minding other's business and they seem to get used to it. Just don't mind them when they give you that look. As long as you are happy being single, no one can destruct you.

Everything comes to he/she who waits so stop looking and you never know when cupids arrow will find its way to your heart. Have a great life from Deeeky.

You think you're the only one, I am 29 also and still single as well.. But it's because I prefer to be like this, I guess I'm all fed up and tired of maintaining a good relationship then later on fails. Some folks even laugh at me, but I told them that I am not in a race so I don't have to hurry myself in having a wife. The worse thing is, those who laughs at me, where the one's who are now suffering the hardships of what they thought is an easy responsibility in settling down and having a family.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being single at 29! That's still very young!! I think everybody is different and some just get married younger or older than others. Some people don't even care for serious relationships at all. I think if you just haven't found the right person yet, then it's much better to stay single than to try rushing into something with someone you're not totally sure about. :)

I think, it s because at 29 you have done a lot of things. You have gone through a lot. It's like they are saying that you're late. But honestly, I think that at that age you're very lucky to have concentrated on you're career. You'll soon meet the one for you.

People always assume that at this age you should be settled down or married. But they don't know that you could have just come out of a bad relationship for all they know. Ignore them. You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. You have plenty of time to be with that special someone.

I am 32 and I am single. So I guess I would get some strange looks too. I am searching for 'The One'. So that is why I am single, It is nothing wrong with being single, if you do not have a problem with it, then I wouldn't worry too much. Let Mr. Right find you. You just be ready when he shows up.
