I'm now 30. Will I ever find love?

[m7728687329]

I'm a guy, 30, I've had one serious 8 year relationship and a 2 year semi-serious realtion/situationship type deal, and been in a few short term relationships.

Upon reflection, I don't think I was actually ever in love. I thought I was but don't think I was ever committed to them.

Im prone to thinking I love them, love the chase and would do anything towards them but when it comes to it, I slowly turn off them. I hate myself for this but I can't help how I feel.

My friend recently got married and he told me, there isn't another woman in the world that would ever even tempt him to have a second glance at. He knew he'd always be happy being with her forever. I guess I've never felt that way about anyone. Not really.

Which is strange as I don't want a bachelor life. I want that connection and I do. want a family.

Will I actually find someone or is it getting too late?

30 isn't old. I was still a kid at 30. I was at my peak between 30 and 50 and still had my own rock band until I was 66 in 2020 when covid hysteria shut everything down.

I had long-term, infatuated relationships with girlfriends from the time I was 16. But I didn't start thinking about settling down until I was in the first half of my 30s. I wasn't capable of being a good husband before that.

So the first step in finding love is being in the mindset to be able to truly love someone, stop shopping, and be loyal to them for the rest of your life.

After a couple more relationships, I met my future wife when I was 40. We got married two years later when I was 42 and she was 39. We both had very full and fulfilling lives before that. Neither of us had been married or had kids. I never wanted kids.

We've been happily married now for over 28 years, had LOTS of fun, and built a wonderful life together as a team. We love and respect each other deeply and are completely loyal and dedicated to each other's welfare and happiness. She's the best friend I ever had.

Odds are yeah. Will it last? Odds are no. But there's no guarantee either will happen. I assumed it would happen for me. Never did. And that's ok. Whether it does or not you're going to be just fine dude. Always remember you're only half the equation.

Of course you will, my man found me when he was 36 now two years later we're the happiest ever
Don't ever give up on true love

@m7728687329 speaking for myself here bro 'wise owl says you know, southern drawl accent, some folks are happier single - they're not friendless or lacking in family or extended family or coworkers - they're just at peace in being, single" .

That's me.

30 is still young, and usually when life really starts for many people.. So yeah you can easily still find love.. Even if you were 50, it's never too late..

No, 30 is old and dopamine receptors are already desensitized, plus at that age there are only used, old women looking for some beta to give them money.
