    i'm 42, never married. it's more a matter of me not being the right person rather not meeting the right person because i could have met the "right" person but my commitment issues would have made that moot :laugh:

    Almost 43, in a relationship but I will never get married, for me it seems pointless.

    I'm 43, been married and divorced twice and childless by choice :tongue:
    now content to be happily single and in no hurry to add ex-husband #3

    If you are happy with your life, who really cares what anyone else thinks about anything like that... just do you and be happy...

    39 and still single here. I have really loved before but have the worst luck with love. Now I'm not actively searching for someone... If it happens it happens.

    Hi. I'll be 32 soon. Never married, no kids. Never even been close to an engagement or love or even feeling really liked a lot! I usually just don't make it out of the friend zone. The last few guys that showed some interest in me either stood me up, or things fizzled and we never got to actually go out. One guy even fell asleep at home and overslept for our date. I haven't had a solid relationship since I was a teenager! I promise I'm not crazy, or mean, or a gold digger. Most people say I'm very down to earth. The guys that do approach me are usually 400 lbs. or twice my age. I don't mean that to be condescending, but it's true.

    Guys just aren't usually in to me, but I know that the right guy is out there for me somewhere.

    It's great to feel confident in your status/decisions ... I've been married since I was 26. I wish I'd waited longer.
    Sometimes you can't appreciate the good things about being single until you're not single anymore. It's wonderful that you can appreciate them.

    PS you're gorgeous .... it's definitely not for lack of an attractive smile and beautiful face :)

    Oh there are things about being single married folks can appreciate....right after their spouse leaves. They get to look forward to not hearing their kids laughter. Waking up alone in bed. That feeling that you have when you realize that no one loves you best of all. Great stuff.

    Agent Scully. Great name! I totally get where you're coming from. I'm 36, have never been married, and don't have children. When I was in my early 20's I desperately wanted to get married, wasn't terribly sure on kids. Now I'm absolutely sure I don't want children, and I'm pretty happy being alone. I live in an area where people marry and start families young and I tend to kinda get the perpetual side-eye. Some people don't understand it, how someone could be happy alone. I don't understand how you could not--there is so much in the world to see, do, and explore!

    That world seems grand, but experiencing it with someone else makes it seem much sweeter.

    If I had it to do all over again, I would wake up every morning and tell her how much I love her. Also, it takes holding your child in your arms before you realize that you could barely live without them.

    Pretty much same story here.
