Question for singles in their early 30s?

Amberh82

I didn't rush into getting married or finding the right guy when I was younger and wanted to be able to stand on my own 2 feet. I have the financial stability now and I'm happy for it. I've also been dating my boyfriend for about 1 year and 9 months. All my friends are married or getting married and have kids or having kids. The boyfriend and I are nowhere near that point (not because of me - I want to be THERE). Now I'm jealous...I want all of that and soon...I feel like I am missing out.

Am I the only one that feels that way?

I may be 29 (thus outside the demographic you have prescribed), but I continually feel this way. I'm the only one of my close friends who is very single and they are all with long-term partners, or engaged, or married and with kids. I'm very happy for them that they are in a happy position, but I'm no longer happy being single. I'm sick of having to do things on my own while everyone else is in happy partnerships.

So yes, I definitely understand the feeling.

i have 2 kids, but i'm 30, and haven't had a 'real' boyfriend in years.

a few 'internet' ones (ya know, e-lationships) but i knew they wouldn't go anywhere.

now i'm like, well poo, i wish i found someone to settle down with. life is boring once the kids are grown and more independent.

on the other hand, i know i'll be single forever, so eh.
