I got married to my wife in her 30s. Stop giving yourself unnecessary headache. Be confident and focus on your career. It would surely happen someday . I have a female friend who is 37 years old. She is getting married in March. She did her traditional last month. Her husband-to-be is 40 years old and has never married before.
How can someone who did her traditional last month be getting married in March?

Everyone talking about societal pressure. That's not always the case.

For some of us, it's the timelines and standards we set for ourselves that do us in.

You took this discuss away from the Cliché we always hear of. You are smart.

Not saying it is the cause of your single status, but it provides context for those looking to advise you.

Lolz. No matter how rich you become, you will need other humans to complete you. Humans are created for companionship. Money isn't everything. You will not know this until you study the secret lives of the rich.
I repeat I don't need anyone to complete me please speak for yourself we aren't all wired the same way. Only thing I need from a woman is SEX and I can get that anywhere as long as I have money in my account, shikena!

Good you pointed out this side of her story. If you want good and truthful advise anywhere, always say the whole facts. That is how you can get the reality you are looking for. No need to advise you when you weren't truthful in the first place.

She's a single mum? I sympathize with single mums, society is not kind to them. Some of them are actually really good people, sometimes they are unlucky to be with irresponsible men.
My close pal got his girlfriend pregnant, he wasn't ready for marriage that year but he just had to marry her because he was an honorable man and she was such a good girl. If he had bailed on her, such a good girl will today be stigmatized as a single mum.
Some single mums too were actually abandoned because of their bad character or because they chose to trap a man with pregnancy. Hopefully, the OP finds a partner soon since that is what she desires.

Thanks. I believe the same way you went through my previous post others too went through it too. My being a single mom has nothing to do with me not having a boyfriend (you pointed that out). I only said am scared of entering 30 without a boyfriend. Not hiding my status ���.

You shouldn't be scared of turning 30. Your fear is liable to push you into a relationship that's not healthy for you. Men can smell a desperate woman and will look to take advantage of her.
Rather than fear, exude confidence and invest in yourself.
There's more to life than marriage and good things come to those who wait (patiently).

what the fvck are you talking about myopic and childish. Ever heard of choice? I can choose to be alone all my life it's my fvcking choice, you have your own choice. Doesn't make anyone of us childish or myopic. I repeat SEX is all I ever need from a woman. You can hold on to whatever you need from them. Mehn we still have so many backwards people in this continent, go abroad and see old rich men who have been single all their lives living happily than married folks. All a sugar daddy needs is a sugar girl.

That's because you are still young. You'll grow up one day and realise the errors of your ways. I hope it won't be too late for you, though.

Re: Scared Of Remaining Single by olabrinks(f): 4:36pm On Jan 29, 2020
I agree.

When I met my husband I became a lot happier it opened doors for me, and now I see life a lot differently. Not to talk of the joy that parenthood brings. My happiness doesn’t rely solely on him, but partnership with him sure does make life easier despite our ups and downs. Everybody deserves to find someone, loneliness kills fast.
CsRockefeller:
You people saying she should be happy, live her life to the fullest bla bla bla.

What if having a man in her life would just be that one thing to trigger her joy?

I once stayed with an uncle who was so bitter and angry, always quarrelling with me on little issues. The day his GF now wife came to visit him for the first time, he was so happy, I couldn't believe it, my uncle was so happy for a long time you would have thought he hit the lottery.

They are still married for about 6 years and I can still see that happiness in him.

You think at 30 it's easy to stay alone? Be alone, especially emotionally?

My dear, I only hope you find a man who truly deserves you. God cannot be wrong, if he says it's not good for a "man" to be alone then it's not good.

Lol, you shouldn't get defensive. I wasn't implying that you were hiding your status.

And no, I doubt others went through your previous posts, proof of this you can see from the two gentlemen above who responded to me pointing it out.
I myself would not have gone back to your posts, I don't usually do it - I only did it here because your moniker looked familiar.

About not having a boyfriend, is it that you don't meet men who are interested in you OR you meet them but you always turn them down?

We will never know the true details of this particular single mum cheesy
Apparently, they're all victims...but even non-victims still deserve love I guess, ONLY if they are loveable.

And unfortunately, not everyone is loveable...no matter how much you try to love/show love to some people, they always find a way to mess it up and then turn around to blame everyone else but themselves.

You're very right!

In threads like this, people are always quick to blame the society whilst in real life, I have never seen a lady being killed for not getting married.

Most people (both men and women) desire companionships and like every other life endeavors, they set goals on when to venture into romantic relationships. So, if they're not able to achieve that goal at their expected time, some tend to get desperate about it. Let's stop blaming the society please!


@op, please relax and cheer up! All you need to do is check yourself to see if the fault is from you...like character wise, sociability, hygiene, productivity etc. If there are faults on your part, fix them and wait for your man to come. I wish you luck!

Remember that guy who honestly loved you but you ditched him because he "wasn't" good enough for you 10 years ago?
This is karma paying back in full bi!tch


Who told you there was a guy she ditched?

How do you know that the guy was actually good for her?

What has karma got to do with this?

And is it every guy that asks a girl out that she accepts?

Lol...a relative of mine got married in December. She was over 40. The guy was older and he had never been married before.

Forget what you see on NL. Everything is not black and white. Forget all those virgin, evening newspaper nonsense. It's kids that think that way. Even a 50 year old woman can get married to a never-been-married man.

Being sad and bitter won't make the husband come faster. So she should as well live her life fully while she waits for him.
