i know few people who are old maids and they keep on denying to their selves that it is not happy to be like them.. they are saying that it's enough for them to love their nephews and nieces instead of having their own children.. i doubt if it's true coz i can't imagine the life living alone. sleeping alone in a bed and eating all by myself. i just wish that i could have children even of my own if god will not be blessed with a good lifetime partner.

yes i am afraid, i would love to have my own family someday. I want to know how my parents feel and experience what they are experiencing having a husband and having a family of your own. I am scared of being alone in the future. Right now i am single and every year or day that passes makes me afraid of the time that will pass and then i realize i am too old and still alone :(

Personally, yes, I am afraid to go old and spent life alone. It is very horrifying to think about, because I spent my whole life preparing things necessary for marriage, being a wife and a mother. Right now, I am praying very hard to meet a special person and get married. Hope he will come soon.

To each his own her own reasons for not getting married or being single. All people are born with a pirspose married or not. Some married persons are unhappy and some single persons are unhappy. I am single but not alone and not lonely. I live at home with all kinds all people from a young person to an older one that is nephew, brothers, cousins, dad and surrounded daily with all their uniqueness that sometimes and most of the times LOL I wish I have a place of my own where it's only me and a pet perhaps where you have all the comfortsand no one bothering you. Really, I blurted that out one day and no one at home said a word. I worked far away from home and they were all sad.

I am not afraid the grow old and be single! I spend years hoping to meet someone to marry! It hasn't happen and it will not happen! Relationships of mine all ended up going nowhere and I don't want to to try a realtionship with a man again! I have looked for a man and not. It hasn't made me happy! I love being single! It is for me!

Yes always I'm afraid to be alone. For now I still want to be single. My mother always told me if I going to be single all my life no one gonna taking care of me if I got old. I don't mind it anymore there some institution there gonna taking care of me in the future. If it is my fate to be unmarried I'm going to accept it.

Yes, I am afraid of growing old all alone. I am a family person and I cannot imagine my life without family. Life would be so depressing and lonely without them. When I am already old, I want to at least have my husband beside me. I want someone who I can talk to or just do daily stuff together with. I need companionship when I am already old.

For me personally, i don't want my life to end up with me not having a husband or family, i have dreamed about having a family of my own for a very long time, and i just don't like being alone, so think if i ended up that way i would be very depressed,,,but i realize that not everyone is in my shoes and there are people out there that can be perfectly happy being independant and alone even in their senior years and i say good for them, i think its just important to do what makes you happy and fulfills your life

Yes, I always dream of having my own family and serving my husband and children. I dont want to wake up everyday with the man I love. Some of my aunts were not married and as I can see they are not happy.
