I think something is wrong with me because honestly I had a good laugh reading this. Anyway, I always like to believe for men, getting married isn't a problem. I still do. Getting married to the right person is the problem.
Sha. I hope you get to marry someone that loves you.

I am a 37 year old bachelor and I must confess that never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that someday I would be desperate to get married.

For those of you reading my post, it is my prayer that you all get married at the right time and age and particularly to the right person so that you don't have to pass through the emotions of desperation to get married.

I've read this exact same story before.

So why are you not married?

1- Money

2- No right partner yet.

proddey:



1. You're really not meeting people is the main reason.
2. Your job takes about 80% of your time.
3. You must want someone that wants you
etc

Have you tried online?

proddey:


Most of the girls you meet online are mostly runs girls.

Maybe, he's been careful not to make mistakes, probably he's loaded/was once heartbroken. There are a lot of things that can make a guy who's doing well for himself not to get married as expected;

1. His married friends. How are thier marriages? A single man with so many married friends may be scared of marriage just because of what his friends are passing through. They talk about how it has been so difficult as a married man, how they wished they never got married, but if his married friends are enjoying their union, he becomes desperate to get married. He would want to settle down asap so he can also enjoy his wife.

2. Not seeking godly counsel especially if he's loaded. You know, its so difficult for a rich guy to find a woman who will truly love him, and a wise guy wouldn't want to make some funny mistakes. He would prefer to take his time till he finds the right person.

3. Heartbreak! Guys don't easily get over heartbreaks. He finds it very difficult to fall in love again.


4. Fear of commitment! Some of them are so scared of commitment. They don't want to be "caged" by a woman. They want to be free without having to answer to anyone.

Are you sure you are not a guy? cos you really hit the nail on the head. This is just the summary of us.

Do not allow the desperation to lead you into proposing to the wrong person.
For me I never felt like I was late to marry...
I was busy working and pushing my bank balance up to care.
In fact, it was the elderly women in our family that hinted marriage to me though I had began to think about it.
Go out more to public places and functions and try and start non-committal conversations with ladies that catch your fancy.
I met my wife at a Corpers Week where I was invited to give a talk.
After the ceremony, I joined a group of female corpers to walk back home.
We chatted, joked, laughed, etc.
I spotted her in the group and then brought out all my "ammunition."
She later confessed she felt a certain chemistry when she saw me in the hall.
We are so so happy together.
The thing is, first, be friends, then lovers if they meet with your ideals.
Please do not give a lady ideas or make promises in the beginning so nobody will say you dumped her if the friendship didn't work.
Good luck.

proddey:

How old are you bro? I used to feel the same way to when I was much younger. I also always believed that with men, getting married is not a problem. It gets to an age that you're no longer meeting people. Not that you wouldn't meet some people, but you simply want to marry right, not just marry anyone that's available.
