bostonterrier Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Well, I've been looking too hard till I was around 23/25 so they told me people find someone when they aren't really looking,so I thought I'll give it a try and see what happens, well nothing happened, I will soon turn 30 years old, and that's old already,well I lost the battle.

You might as well give up, adopt 100 cats, move to the country and only make an appearance "in town" every other year or so. 30 is A N C I E N T. What with mortality rates in the upper 70s, low 80s ... that only gives you 40 to 50 years left to live. What are you going to do with so little time remaining? 4
mammasita Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Where's the eye rolling smiley......but only because you have a great attitude and you're so right.
hotpotato Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I know the feeling. I'm not far from 30, and that was my cut off point for marriage and kids. No kids for me. When one door closes, another one opens. What do you want to do with your life?

Haydn Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Quite a few of you should give up, 30 old? hmmm. Get out more? Stop waiting for things to happen, make them happen. Go and grab life. (Please) 2
quankanne Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 you remind me of myself at 24. I hoped that I'd be dead at 40 because what honestly was good about being middle-aged? I'm glad that didn't happen, though, because by the time I hit my 30s, then 40s, I realized just how rich life was. You no longer worry about the things that plagued you as a young adult; you become more mellow. And more embracing of things. so don't think of it as an end, but as a new beginning. As for the being alone part ... think of ways you can learn to be happy in your own skin. Because I promise you, the right kind of people will be attracted to that, whether it's new friends or new love. And that, my friend, is always something worth working toward. 1
FitChick Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Now that you are thirty, people will take you more seriously. No one takes kids in their twenties seriously because, well, they are still kids! Thought you were moving to another country? How is your research coming along? 1

Yeah right, are you telling me that dating when you are 25 and dating when you are 70 is the same thing? I imagine you taking your gf to a club when you are 70:laugh:

I imagine you taking your gf to a club when you are 70:laugh: Dont be a dope..... People fall in love at ANY age...And its fun at any age..DO you think that only people that go to clubs have fun on dates? TFY

TFY What I meant is that you lost the most precious thing in your life, your youth...should I wait till I'm 70 then?
Elias33 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Don't torture yourself with numbers, because that is what ages you the quickest. Enjoy your life in whatever stage you may find it. Then you will stay young. Let me ease your mind as someone who passed thirty a while ago, it is awesome up here! 1
mammasita Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 What I meant is that you lost the most precious thing in your life, your youth...should I wait till I'm 70 then? You're going from one extreme to the other. There's quite a few years in there that you're excluding before you hit 70.
thefooloftheyear Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 What I meant is that you lost the most precious thing in your life, your youth...should I wait till I'm 70 then? Nope...The most precious thing in your life isnt your youth,,,Most younger people do the dumbest things in their lives and quite frankly. until you have had some life experiences under your belt, gain some well earned knowledge and have a few scars to show for it- will you ever feel truly whole...I know thats hard to comprehend at this point...but if you live long enough you will fully understand this concept.. TFY 1
