Hello Ladies of LPSG,
More and more I see people marrying at a younger age, and I can't help but think that I've missed the boat and am doomed to a life alone.
That's a surprise to me! On the contrary, I find that more and more people are settling down later in life by choice, especially in big cities. And more couples wanting to start their families in their mid 30s and early 40s. I don't think you have missed the boat at all and I believe that there are many men and women like yourself who have put settling down on hold to advance their careers and to live life a little first. There are also people from failed marriages who are looking for new relationships. So I think there are always people looking for love out there.
The bar/club scene is usually filled with women looking for one night stands......Ladies, what is your recommendation for as I turn 30 to venture out and find not just someone, but a person with a good foundation thats looking for the same in return?
Well, for starters, bar/clubs are hardly the kinds of places where you'll find down-to-earth women who are looking for serious relationships and commitments, as you yourself have realized. You're more likely to meet a woman of marriage material at a Bingo Hall! :biggrin1:
But seriously I think you're doing the right thing by putting yourself out there. The reason you may not have found someone is that you may have become considerably more choosy due to your experience in relationships over the years, and you now know better what you want and need. That's not a bad thing, because when the right person comes along, you will recognize the fit straight away. The point is not to give up. People have this misconception that things will happen the minute they decide they are ready. Life is hardly ever that complying! As long as you leave yourself open to possibilities, and are creating opportunities, you're more likely to meet a girl for you.
And don't discount joining groups or clubs that offer activities that interest you. What could be better than meeting a woman who shares in the same interests as you right off the bat! Even if you don't find your dream girl there, you may earn a few good friends who could introduce you to some of their "eligible" friends.
There's really no formula in finding the right person. Love comes knocking at your door at the most unlikely times and places, and you can't always choose who you'll fall in love with. Just have fun in the process, keep a positive attitude and project plenty of confidence to the ladies you meet. You have not missed the boat-it just hasn't come around to pick you up yet. :smile:
As a last resort, there's always the mail-order bride....:tongue:
