ponchsox Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I've been far happier single than in any relationship I've been in up to this point. I've had fun moments and some good sex, but as I approach 38, I'm starting to prepare for life as a single man. I will still continue to date and meet women, but kids are looking like it's not happening at this point. Anyone else feel the same? 3
Snakechammah Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Earlier this year, I felt the exact same thing. Been single almost all my life (except for a few short stints with some exes), was prepared to live a life of nunhood (sort of) and then bam! He waltzed into my life and my entire future has changed. Dont despair. We'll never know when it is the right time to meet the one you are meant to marry. All the best, dude. 1
d0nnivain Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I was 39 when I met my husband. Age is just a number. If you are happy & content, don't sweat it. 1
iris219 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 You're only 38. As a man, you can still have kids with no problem. If you're happy being single why are you worrying about it?
JDPT Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I'm in my early 30s and pretty content with that fact that I'm single by choice. I think I've come to terms with the fact that I do not want kids. I view me with a "significant other" down the line but highly doubt I will be able to commit fully.
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) I feel the same. I am happier single than I ever was in any relationship or dating situation. I have since stopped counting age and trying to "catch a man" before it's too late. I am enjoying life as a most likely forever single woman Edit: there is a lot of timing and luck involved in meeting the right person at the right time. Much more than people want to admit. You know those couples that met in high school and fell deeply in love, married and stayed together forever? It's nothing but luck. I have come to beleive that there is certain flow in life where some things just do or don't happen. For me dating was always an uphill battle. I felt that all kinds of obstacles were thrown in my way. Almost like trying to date and be in a relationship is fighting nature or swimming upstream. Where being single is just a natural flow, if that makes sense. Edited June 22, 2014 by Eternal Sunshine 4

Where being single is just a natural flow, if that makes sense. Very true, eternal. The women I met and dated happened at the right time (they were looking online, coming off a LTR, etc) and timing is everything. It was also very frustrating dealing with obstacles in my relationships that I could not control (distance, time, kids, ex's). I put in 110% always and never got what I was looking for in return. I am open to meeting someone but I am going to just enjoy single life and if someone comes along that wants to stick around for the ride, then so be it! 2
