I feel like I will be single well into my 40s or even 50s. This saddens me because I would really like to settle down with one man who is a one woman man. Are there any ladies in their 30s, 40s or 50s that can give me a little hope?

well, I can only think of one question that comes to mind,
Do you want to settle down with the wrong person just to say that you are not single? That one special person will come along.. Just give it time..kb

If I wanted to do that then I would not be single. The wrong person comes by everyday, this is why I am still single.

Think this is why most of us are single

I know the feeling, thats where i stand too, but I cannot dwell on finding that special someone, there is much more to life then that plus I believe it will come when you least expect it to..

Hey you'll have a better chance than most cause you take care of yourself and your looks. Now its just a matter of you looking out for the right guy in the right place. Don't let the blinders be your downfall. If he is decent looking and truely has a kind heart I'm sure you'll know it.

Look for guys that do volunteer work. They have humility for one and secondly it shows that they care to help others they don't even know. Doesn't that sound like a real nice guy?

Work for charity yourself too cause then he'll know you care. With both of you caring and having hopes and dreams kept alive how can it go wrong? Rhetorical!

That is the type of man I want but most of them here in my age group (29 to 40)... If they know they are a good catch they make sure EVERY woman knows! I have no time for that. It's just hard to find a good guy because it seems good guys and jerks shop at the same clothing stores!

AMEN to that ..... yes I have heard they come when you least expect it then I thought he had come and I fell and found out he was not mr right but totally mr wrong for me. Just to be in a real relationship would be foreign to me that is for sure. I would hope I knew how to handle it because that is my biggest dream, so welcome 2008......

victoriousme,just be happy or try to be every day,find something,even simple things and be thankful that you are not in a relationship like probably some of your friends/families are in,you are free enjoy it,I am on the look out myself at 45 but I will not settle,I am knowing what I want,when it happens I am sure I will know it,my formula is this=calculation times analyzing minus emotion usually sees through the jerks,good luck

I enjoy every part of my life. My children, family and friends; it's the single part I don't care for. I am very thankful for all that I have and never want what the next has. I want something real that is my own. I enjoy life to the fullest but it would be nice to have someone to enjoy it with. Good luck to you too.
