hi zearah^^; it's been a long time and this is gonna be my first response should you be worried? i think no. not getting married on or before 30's doesn't mean you aren't getting married at all. having kids is still possible and you still got long years to have them...for now, enjoy what you do and start going out and widen your circle of friends and your social life to get a chance to meet new people and friends which might lead into a good relationship^^ goodluck my friend

Hi zearah, Single ready to mingle is a very common proverb. I feel there is a right age for everything and including marriage, Espicially for girls. Now dont get me wrong , it wasnt gender related comment but simply because late marriage would mean late pregnancy and it can have lots of complications. So i guess if you wish to get married then do it quickly.

hello dear, Single at thirty? No problem u still hv 2-3 years to enjoy your single status. because when u get married u will be entering into a totally different environment. However independent u may be, but with a partner with u, u still will hv to consider his/her wishes before taking a decision which will affect both of u. So my suggestion is - if are fit and healthy, then enjoy yr singlehood for few more years and then settle down. Myself got married at the age of 39 and had my son when I was forty. Though there are complications at becoming pregnant so late in life, but with the grace of God my son was born healthy.

A marriage life is a whole life commitment that's how I believe on it so it is not good to jump and quickly do this.It must be a fully prepared decision to get marry.

Women are having healthy babies in their 40's! If you want kids , there is time. But then again , you can adopt kids too. So if you meet Mr Right and you are 35 and you only give birth to one child , you can always adopt two more! never give up on your dream.

Being single is all right especially if there are a lot of things you want to do in your life. The right man will come at a right time. There are some women who marry early and didn't get a chance to pursue their dreams because they need to devote their time and energy to their family. If there are many things you want to do, maybe you can do them while you're still single. However, unlike men, we women have a biological clock. Since you dream of having a kids, I suggest that you get married and try to have kids by age 35. Most pregnancies become high risk for both a woman and her future children if she becomes pregnant in her late 30s and 40s. I wish you good luck and happiness with your love life. Take care!

As long as you're happy there's nothing wrong you being single. However if you wanted to have your own children better not to wait until your 40. Women reaching 35 years of age already increases their risk for pregnancy, it's either you could have difficulty conceiving or the baby would not be that healthy. But if you are knowledgeable with all the new advances in science, medicine and technology then maybe you could still achieve what your dreaming. If there's a will, there's a way. But why wait if you could have them now. The earlier the merrier, so you could still be with them for a much longer time.

hello zearah, Most of my single ladies friends are already in their late 20,going to their 30's already ,yet that are not bothered and still enjoying their lives. Nothing to worry about it. Enjoy being single because you will be tied up for sometime once you get married and have a small kid to care with.

If you are happy, that is all that matters. It does not matter what any one thinks, in my opinion. If you dream of having a family one day, you may want to think about having your first child before you are 40. There are more risks involved after the age of 40, especially for the first child. Though the risks are greatly reduced with the developments of technology, but still not recommended fully.

I would love to settle down if and only if any responsible man will come across in my way.Many of my friends advised me that I should "ride on a train before it will be too late or there will be no more train to pass by, hahaha.

You could socialize more. Go out with friends, and ask friends to help look out for suitable guys to introduce to you. Get to know the other gender as friends first rather than to fix a target for marriage. What you desire is not outrageous, so don't worry. I am sure out there, a nice man is saying the same thing about his plight as well. And who knows, time will tell...

Whether single or married, live a happy life. Enjoy your present status. Both have their pros and cons. Of course, if you meet the right one, get married. In my opinion, a married life is more fulfilling because of all its challenges!

If you are not married by 30 who cares.... however if you want to have that family then i would start thinking about finding someone to share that with.

There is no 'magic number' to be married by--I was married at 30, quite unhappily. I wish I had waited to find The One, but I was in such a rush to play house that I made a huge mistake and three lives were badly damaged. THAT I truly regret.

I am over 50 and I have never married or had kids. I have had times when I wish I had someone around to depend on in times of dire need, but for the most part, I can't really even live with people without having problems. I have always been a loner so being single fits my way of life.

Okay, this is gonna seem to go against something I've been saying (how much marriage sucks); but yes, yes you should be worried if you're not married---no matter how wonderful single-life is, no matter how old you are. However, marriage DOES NOT MEAN love (just like 'school DOES NOT MEAN education'): sure, being married to someone does give plenty of opportunity for your love for them to grow; but love & marriage are two separate animals. Marriage is just 'a life-partnership' (as close to 'symbiosis' (people-merging) as we can legally get). Stronger if there's love there, of course; but love is a wild animal if not clamped with a ball-and-chain!

No. i don't think so. why worry if your happy and contented being single. You don't have to hurry things, take it easy. enjoy life. Maybe when the right time comes, Mr. Right will just knock on your door to fulfill your dream of having a happy family.
