I'm at the age of thirty and still single...I've been into relationships but could not find yet the right one......
There are guys out there courting me but they haven't reached my standard nor there's no any fuzzy feelings to anyone of them..
I've been single for 2 years now and wanting to be in a relationship again....
I know I am a pinicky.....

when someone reach 30+, most of them will be hurry for relationship. it's similar with your situation. in my office, there are some woman who reach 30+ but not married yet. some people talk about them because they're not married yet, but hey....! do you think relationship and married is full all about age?? if you're not ready for new relationship, don't force yourself. enjoy what you have now and don't be hurry. sometimes the best comes late

There is nothing wrong with dating. You need to be able to be found. If no one can find you, then yes you will stay single.
However, you DO NOT GET PANICKY. Getting your emotions all jumbled up is a great way to end up with a loser, and have the next 10 years of your life a train wreck.
Don't do that.

While I do agree to some of the opinion posted above but please also consider thing as your health status. Women had different body condition than men because their reproduction system had limit. Once you enter that age it would be a problem to had children. While not each one expecting children on their marriage life but many will do. So I suggest to think about it carefully.

True love is hard to find but I believe that the right person will come into your life though you are not looking for him or her. I believe in destiny and I believe in God's gift. Do not pressure yourself finding the right guy/girl, just learn how to wait. Age doesn't matter in terms of love.

I think thirty is still a young age. Besides, marriage is a very serious issue and it will have an effect on your rest life. So it is better to be careful to it and find the right one. So you will be happy to it. The marriage is one of the most important issues for everybody. Perhaps your love is just on the way. So be patient to it.

I say wait for it don't rush it or anything like that. Because worse come you don't want to marry the wrong person. Enjoy being single and who knows the one for you may be right there in your face and not even know it. If someone comes to you and ask for a date, sure go on one and who knows they may be the one. But if you are not feeling them, then don't pursue it any longer. But be patient and the one for you will come a long sooner then you think.

It is good that you go out to meet more people. Then you have more
options to know more people. Perhaps somewhere out there, the Mr. Right
is just like you waiting for you. You can always be friends and see
how things go, if he managed to make your heart beats faster, he could
be the right one. All the best and pray that God will send him to you
soon.

The love of your life is something very special.If you spend your whole life looking for it you may miss the bigger things in life as well as the love you seek. When the love of your patience of that kind of love is well worth the rewards it brings.

Well, that's too bad.
You were picky and didn't give them a chance. Maybe you could have grown to love them if you had. But anyway, you should not force yourself to be with anyone.
Just keep your eyes open.
Things we chase tend to run away. So why don't we wait and grab it when we see it? the opportunity I mean or you could go out more and look for him yourself.
Still I believe that love will find us. We just have to be OPEN. If you turn down opportunities then, that might have ruined your chances of finding love.

Just don't set your standards too high. Select characteristics in a guy that is a must have, maybe about three. just the important ones, the ones that truly count.
If you don't feel any connection with these guys then just befriend them. Never say yes to them half-heartedly. Look for good qualities in the guys that you might grow to love. Maybe you won't love them at first but you will grow to. Befriend them. If they are willing to wait, you have to get to know them first before saying yes.
Don't be forced to say yes to anyone. Give them a chance to prove themselves, always be polite and kind and be honest.
I don't think what you are doing is wrong. It's just that you might not be looking enough or you just have to proactively wait patiently for the perfect guy.
LOL, did I make sense at all? Sorry.

Thanks for responding!
there are guys out there courting me, but what if i don't really have feelings for them,,,would I answer yes to one of them, though i don't really like him? I think we 'll not be happy,, and it;s like ruining both our lives,,
i want to be open but I also want to be honest with myself and to the guy...
you may be right..
....and you maybe right,, maybe I'm being picky,,something I have to change he he ;-)........

oh,, maybe you have a really standards in much cases...
For me when you love, there are no standards because, when you love... you just LOVE the person with what ever he has or does not have...
YOU don't search LOVE because LOVE will find you in your most unexpected time, and even with the most UNWANTED PERSON...
We are destined to have somebody to be with us.... JUST PRAY for that =)

but as of now one catches my heart yet.....
thanks for the prayer....may you continue praying for me dear,,, ha ha

Like that song says, you can't hurry love, you just have to wait... It cannot be forced nor coerced. For the meantime, enjoy being single, mingle, try new hobbies and activities. Expand your social circle to increase your chances of meeting him. But don't focus everything that you do in finding him. Just enjoy, take it easy and pray for patience.

I'm kinda in the same situation like you, I'm 22 years old and is still single and I know some guys who keeps asking why I'm not interested in having a relationship, it's really irritating so I told them I'm not ready yet. I'm going paranoid especially with guys, maybe because of the negative things I see and hear about them especially when it comes to relationships. It's really difficult to find a guy who is loyal to his relationship. I know it's difficult in your part to find the right guy it takes time. My aunt is 43 years old and she got married at that age, and that person was her first and the last man. Actually, they already knew each other when they were still in college and he just came back from America to find out that my aunt was still single and he actually likes her for a very long time. Don't be in a hurry to find the right guy if you're looking for mister right just wait for a while it's not like the guys will disappear the next day, even I'm still waiting for the right person. To tell you the truth, there's a person I like for 9 years, I didn't know I was in love with him until I was in 3rd year college when my friends told me. Take your time.You don't know you might actually meet him someday.

Thanks Anime, well, you're still young to find that right guy for you,,, I don't know what bad things you hear about them but hey! don't think that they are all the same...
i still believe that there are good guys out there,,,though there may be a few of them ;-).........
well you're also right... just need to take my time,,, not in a hurry just needing someone to be with , talk with... he he and well to settle with.....

Yeah there are but a few of the guys I meet just ask for my number( mostly married men) and minus points for the guys, then there are cases of where you can find them in the newspaper, television,radio or friends talk about a bad relationship. I'm becoming paranoid but I really hope that you can meet someone for you and that you won't meet guys like I did to the point where I became defensive and paranoid towards men.

I think most probably you should go for someone whom you love or like to spend time with. First I would suggest you to make friendships with all people around you both sexes and then you should try to find the right person and then try to become the best friendship with the person and then go for the person. I think most probably you will find the right person soon in your life.

Welcome to mylot
Thank you so much for this discussion
Well here normally girls get married at age 22-25, the marriages are arranged marriages by the parents
i believe one gets his partner when right time comes, so you need to wait for your real soul mate.

No way to say for sure, because it's part 'waiting for when the time is right' and part 'springing into action at that time.' (For most men, it seems like they MAKE time right BY springing into action; but--as I'm not like most men--the time is only right for me when THE LADY springs into action ...)
The important thing to do is to do what you love. You will meet the right man as you do that, and he will help you to do it better & more!
