I wrote this in the Fam section in the past. Now, I think it might not be a bad idea to meet someone and see if something genuine might develop.

It’s another year. I am going to turn 36. I really would like to get married.

I am a conservative, indoor person and enjoy being alone – being a writer and all. But it gets to a time when you really need someone around you. Someone with whom to build an island valley of harmony to return to after a hard day’s work. Someone to love and cherish. Someone to look into her eyes and see heaven. Someone to disturb me when all I want is to be left alone. Someone to tell me everything will be fine when worries take over. Someone to hold her hands and watch the sunset together. Someone who can handle my quirks. A friend. Someone matured - between the ages of 30 and 40 – doesn’t matter really. Reasonableness, the ability to hold intelligent conversations and the capacity to see beyond the mundane are far more important to me than age, religion, ethnicity or status.

Trouble is: I haven’t done well for myself in the financial end of things. I will like to be able to give my wife and kids a good life, but things just haven’t worked out, although things are just now beginning to change gradually and I know it now won’t be long before all the hard work and integrity built up over the years begin to pay off. But who will marry someone who can’t afford her the good things of life today?

These are some of the things I think about. Can I get married this year? What do you think?

Thanks all for your responses. I'm feeling much better.

OAM4J:
Sure you can. Just need to find the right person.

Hope the applications are already rolling in, might be good you at least put up your picture.


Well, not yet. Thanks.
