It is oh so easy to say "must she get married, let her take her time, marriage is not for everyone, don't be desperate, let her have kids outside wedlock" from the comfort and security of your home/marriage/relationship. The complaisance stinks.

I know what is like to stop attending weddings because everyone is hooked up (even those small girls), to avoid your fb page before you go crazy seeing all those updates of happy families whilst you're still in your parents' home, the random times people will just start passing comment on your life or discussing your life publicly (well-meaning but you still wanna die).

OP, it is crazy out there and whatever decision she takes is going to be tough. As someone who said "I will find a man and have my kids without marriage" when that situation stared me in the face, I ran like a person being chased by BH. The reality was different from my calculations. Being a single mum is not something you discuss on NL.

It is one thing to half-heartedly want to get married, it is another to want it with every fibre (for the companionship) and be told "marriage is not for everyone, don't be desperate".

A lot of men in your 30s are going to be unserious about you and once you reach 35, all the married ones will show up to attempt to grace your bed. The beauty of age is that you are now bold enough to ask a man "please what are your intentions" immediately he kisses you. The unserious ones will tell you you're rushing them, the serious ones know your age and will straight up say their mind "I want a casual fling, are you interested? " or "I want more than a casual something, I'm genuinely here". Don't get mad, say thanks and move on (I used to tell them "thanks for being honest with me, I'm looking for more than a fling right now but If I change my mind I will inform you" and no hard feelings).

Let her go out. Let her find a hobby. Do things that take her to continually meet people. I was advised that by a single woman in her 40s. Let her not take men seriously, A MAN IS NOT REAL UNTIL HE DECLARES PUBLICLY YOU TWO ARE DATING. That means she should bone all those midnight chatting and phone calls, they mean nothing until the man declares his mind (I see ladies who dump everything and everyone else in favour of those calls, meanwhile he can wake up and decide to stop calling one day and disappear. Then you waste more time in tears and emotion). Grit your teeth and go out (even when you're not in the mood).

Be cautious of that joining some society in church. I have a lot of male friends and they always made it clear that they used church workers and church attendees as their hunting grounds, since they knew most of those women joined church to meet eligible men. So be friendly but remember, he ain't real till he publicly declares your relationship to all of mankind.

Whatever fun you want to have, go and have it starting from now. Every time you say "I'm too tired to go out to this birthday party/office dinner/whatever function", you are reducing your chances of meeting people (we are no longer in the days of Tobit, husbands don't see you praying in your window and knock your father's door down demanding your hand in marriage ). GO OUT THERE AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

If things don't work out, at least you won't have spent your life sitting in one spot, waiting for a bus to arrive that wasn't coming.

I speak from experience and that of my sisters and friends. All the best OP.

This is the conclusion of the whole matter.

Can u do that urself? It is like telling women that marriage doesn't make sense when u hold on to urs.

She shld look for men of that age, widowers or polygamous folks. Her charms to bargain and select are dwindling. I hope she has achieved what explains the gap. Not some OND oldie looking for ...

Why is it that people always blame the the lady for being choosy? What if she is a victim of one of those long time relationship where the guy bailed out at the last hour.

I'm afraid she takes responsibility for that too. A mature, clear thinking woman in an adult relationship, should be able to articualte her expectations and desires. If she ends up in a "long time" relationship that's heading nowhere, she is to blame. Either that, or she is not capable - and therefore shouldn't be - in a grown-up relationship.

She should never try such oo.
I won't even advice my enemy to be a single mother. You think it's easy? It's not easy o both financially and emotionally for the kids or kid not even her. Do u know the psychological. Stability a parent is giving to a child or children. ? When both mum and dad are together and in peaceful coexistence.
Such stability cannot be bought with money.
Am. In my 30s. Am not desperate for marriage even though I would love to get married. Have used all these years to better myself and my career.
Am not lonely. And am even in a serious relationship with a 29year old guy. He knows my age and he's comfortable with it.
We both work and we are very comfortable with each other. We both talk about the future with ourselves in unborn kids in it. I don't worry myself at all.

One thing I notice about we ladies getting married late. I think it's in our destiny. No matter how hard we try. If not yet time. U cant force it.

And I vowed I will never be a single mum not matter what!.

One of my friend got married 40years old to a 36years old guy. Everyone was saying be a single mum and forget marriage. But she said no way! And she has prayed to God that, God if a man of my choice does not marry me. I will never bear children. And that the end.

Now she's happily married to a fine tall successful guy. And she has a kid now.

No older lady should. Be coerced or emotionally blackmailed into been a single mother. It's not fair.

I know a woman who never married until her fifties, she prayed but it wasn't to be, after everything God gave her a widower and she took over his four kids, today they are happily married and blessed, Pastor Kumuyi married a single woman over 60, the list is endless and even if she never gets married, God is able to comfort her no matter her circumstance

Look around you and face reality someone's wife or husband will surely die. That said, plenty examples are available of single mature men and women getting married. They are the ones that even understand what true companionship is all about.
