NO. I gave up on that years ago. You know how they say, "There's someone out there for everyone..."? No, it is. Otherwise so many people wouldn't struggle to find love or relationships.
I fall into that category. I've accepted I'm going to be a bachelorette the rest of my life, and I'm ready to be a dog lady (not cat lady, I don't like cats, lol).
As for why? Because apparently having realistic, yet firm standards, not wanting to sleep around with anyone that smiles at me, and not being feminine enough deters men! Lol.
Honestly, it's mostly due to location: I live in small town where all the men my age are already taken, married, moved away... or flat out not interested in me.
And before anyone says, "Try dating apps!" Been there, done that: absolutely NO interest or messages. Even when I messaged the guys first. So I gave up on that nonsense around my late 20s.
It probably doesn't help I'm not that attractive or very "feminine" so of course that's going to make dating impossible as well.
I've said this before, but when I met the second wife. We were actually at a funeral of a mutual friend. I was sat down having a coffee dhhe asked if anyone was sitting there , I said I no. We were there for the next ,5/6hours just talking. Then we went off for a meal. Then I walked her back to her hotel. We walked down along the river and sat on one of the benchs, she had my jacket on and we were sat there cuddling, and ended up kissing. Following day I was going home, in the car she was going to use the train. So she cancelled the train and came with me. To get home was about a1500mls drive plus Euro star. And a night in a hotel So you can imagine we had got to know each other very well. When I dropped her off at her home , I just didn't want to leave. I told her this and she agree so we spent about a hour kissing and chatting in the car. Sic months later we got married...
I don't believe I will. With some weird traits I have. I probably won't find someone that I could really push me to my limits. I met this girl, adore her. For some reason I couldn't find the same love she had for me. All we are now is friends. Might happen with everyone.
Don't know. At this point, it's probably doubtful. I'm not a very outgoing individual and my high standards pretty much exclude the majority of women. So unless I get very lucky, I doubt I'll meet the right woman. And that's okay. Better not to settle.
Love can be made, too. Many people seem to forget love is a conscious effort and not just finding “the one” and that’s that. You will find someone you like and have to work with them to live a good life. That’s very doable, so I think I will find this.
I don’t think “ love” really exists lol and I don’t think people are meant to be monogamous their whole life either. I think all you can hope for is to find relationships where you’re good to each other and have fun together. I find at my age rn women are either having kids or are looking for guys to have kids with and it makes me cringe cuz I don’t want kids 🤢 All I've ever wanted is to be the fun uncle with no kids, money and some cool girlfriends here and there over the years if that sounds about right 🤷♂️😂
Everyone will! It may not happen until you’re really old... but it will happen! It only won’t happen if you don’t let yourself see it! Anyone who says they’ve never been in love is just bitter!
This is something that i don't know if it will happen or not, i'm a 34 year old man, i don't have that fire that i used to have back when i was 18 or in my 20's, also finding real love these days is hard because people aren't raised on the same old values anymore and they think that marriage is just game or that they can hit the road anytime they want!
I'm happy being single, and there's nothing holding me back, if it's meant to happen... it'll happen ! but , I'm Not holding my breath , lol !

No, I have given up. Too old and broke. My life is in a such fucked up condition I will be dead by the time I get it straight. When you have no help or family it takes a while to get straight. Ladies my age that have normal lives are not looking for broke, fucked up old men.
Personally, I haven't. I think it's just because I try too hard, and get to nervous. I also have a hard time meeting girls since I can't drive, and I don't want to do online dating.
I don't know. If I do that's cool, if I don't I wouldn't mind it either. I guess it's not meant to be. I was a loner throughout the most of secondary school, so I learnt to enjoy solitude.
