I liked the way you said it. Every one like to be single as one has no responsibility then but fears what would happen when they get old. That is the only reason I married and have kids.

I am a single lady in my 30s. I've always been a failure when it comes to relationships, but I'm willing to wait. While waiting, I intend to love myself more so that by the time He arrives, I am ready and I have more to offer.

I got married at 29. Quite late also. But I never really mind. It will all come in God's perfect time.

You do know the answer to this one already but yes I have fallen in love and I am still in love. I think there is someone for everyone out there and it comes at the most unexpected times so hope is not lost for you my friend-if love is what you want anyway. =)

college was the only time I fell in love with some one, but i fell out of love at the same time. I had some female friends whom i hang out with but never to the point of dating. now, I'm just almost alone. its a great feeling, makes you think you can do anything.

We are from an age and a family that believe in arranged marriages[ if you have referred to the love blossoming between a boy and a girl ] and this does not permit ' love' before marriage.We get married to a man of our parents' choice and take life thereon. We are asked whether we like the potential bride or groom but this is after a lot of preliminary screening by parents. Nowadays things are different and youngsters do choose their partners. To your question my precise answer would be that I did not fall in love but this love slowly descended on me in course of time. What is the purpose of staying married for 38 years if we are unable to be totally in love , have a feeling of total dependency or leaning on each other for companionship !!!! However we need a lot of initial patience, tolerance and there is constant compromise.This may be a youngster's point of view today but some women of our age pay a lot of importance to the feeling of security a man gives despite anything else.

@annierose In my perception , Security does not refer to only 'financial' security. Women are wealthy in their own right; many women are financially independent. THe whole picture of a united family gives a good feeling; don't you agree? Money does not enter this calculation.

It is good to be a practical person but I disagree of marrying someone out of money. I think it will just yield to infidelity. I have seen broken families because the intention of settling down was not for love but for the material possessions.

Kala, I agree. Conventionally, exposure to boys was also less. Girls were rarely sent to coeds. And work environment was also selected like you be teacher in girls school or doctor. As you said loving comes after "initial patience, tolerance, and constant compromise". What we the "unmarried" feel cannot exactly be classified as love I suppose. It may be "liking", or "caring". It usually ceases because there is no permanence about it. And I kind of enjoy platonic relationships.

I have a few times. I have also loved people but found that I was not "in love" with them. It hurts when the relationship does not last, but I would rather have the experience, even with the hurt, than to never have that experience.

@wiLLmaH Indeed. So far I only met women who wanted to know how many cars I have or if I have US visa or heavy pocket job. I decided to remain single till the time comes where I meet woman who is interested in me and not my money. I'll get out of marriage If I realize i am just someone's ATM card lol.

I see. But When I meet some people they say why are you still single. I find that in reality people who want to get into relationship are materialistic. So teen love and filmy love is a fantasy. So being single is more of reality than accepting fantasy to me. But each person to their own.

@skysnap I remember one of my friends when we were talking about relationships. He asked me what to prefer: that I am single and I wish to get married or that I get married and I wish that I go back to being single again. I think he wants me to think carefully of my decisions in life.

Yes. I think you should open your world to love. It is a nice feeling. Of course, there might be pain along the way but make these pain the reason for you to be a stronger person. Love is great! But you must love yourself first before giving love

I used to think about that question "how love feels" when I was younger. Then I met my husband, and then I knew how it is. I guess when you meet the significant one, you will just know. And yes, I am in love with my husband.

By the way, I think those are not considered as failure, just some experiences and lessons in our life - education, jobs, friendship, relationship, etc. And yes, love is not just limited between two people, but can also extend to other people, animals, plants and even nature.
