Do you think that after 30 as a female you should still hope to get married?

rubydoobydoo	Love can come at any age, at any time. I have a friend who has never been married, she's 34 with 3 kids, ages 17, 14 and 10. She is in love and will be getting married. You need to keep your mind open to the possibility that love will come knocking on your door when it's meant to. It doesn't matter how old you are, all that matters is that you let it in! So good luck! I know that it will happen for you when you least expect it! =)

joseph7_28636	Not ata ll sweetie, happens all the time.I have even known of some gals never married in their 40's getting hitched.

a.296512	and why not... if you have the qualities for marriage i am sure someone will see them and take an interest.. hell, i might even... lol

noooway	32 and giving up? Are you nuts??? Your age is excellent, and you already have a kid, so the clock pressure is not even an issue. People that get married under 30 is people that live in small towns. City people, i might say 99% gets married after 30. The thirties is a great age for a woman, and the 40's ... is even better!!! Don't worry. Now is when you have time to find "the one" NYC girl

Bobbie	Of course! Never give up hope. Things will all work out for a reason in the end. If you don't ever get married then there is a perfectly good reason that you may not understand, but there is always a reason. Never give up hope on anything. Nothing is impossible. Don't worry you will be fine, and I wish you good luck!

bina64davis	Of course it's not too late! Just don't dwell on it. When you least expect it, someone will come into your life who will love you and your son. Just put your energy out there, but don't force it.

RICHARD	Dear girl - don't ever think that you are too old for marriage or happiness. My wife was 33 and I was 36 when we were married. he had been divorced for 8 years and I had been divorced for 1 1/2 years. She had a 16 yr old daughter - I had a 10yr old son and 14 year old daughter. We had 16 wonderful years of heaven on earth before I lost her to cancer. There is one special person out there for each and every one of us. Don't give up looking for that person and the best thing outside of having your son that you could possible ever experience. It is worth every bad blind date, family fixups, and meeting freinds of friends that you go through. My second wife and I met through family friends and I am thankful each and every day that I was given that gift. Your prince may very well be that next guy you run your shopping cart into so keep your eyes open, your hope alive, and your heart ready to receive.

Princess	Of course you can still hope to get married. It's hard to find the right person sometimes, and not everyone finds their soul mate at a young age.

its_whatever11	No it's not hopeless, keep hope alive. When you get 50 then throw in the towel.

Blue	No one who wants to marry should give up hope. As long as you are not "actively" looking for a husband. Nothing drives a man away more quickly than a strong approach with wedding in mind. Let him think it's his idea. And don't jump in bed with him the second time you see him. Wait until you are sure that he might be someone you want to spend years with.

Cindybear	No, never call it quits, it is however a little more complicated since you have a child, but not hopeless. I'm a few years older than yourself, and I have two awesome children, they are the pride and joy of my life, but I still manage to have a relationship with a special someone, whom I've just met about a year ago now. So there are fantastic guys out there, be patient, and before you know it, some special guy will be sweeping you and your son off your feet. Take care.

Pashta	Sure you can.. I got married at 31 with a 9 year old...

a.vasquez7413@sbcglobal.net	I think that after 30,and a female, yes, there should be hope of her getting Married. My guess is that you are being too careful, as to who you get interested in, and that has been a disappointment for you, think positive not, negative and before you know it you will have someone that wants to spend the rest of his Life with you. My advice to you is to choose wisely because you have a Son, and you need to think of his welfare before yours. Good Luck and I hope that you won't have to wait too long.

Nancy M.	If your not married by the time you're 32 doesn't mean anything. My daughter is 29 and does not have a boyfriend. My son is 35 and is not married. I was married for the second time at the age of 53. You'll meet someone someday so don't worry about not being married. That special someone will come into your life when you least expect it.

joyceeleann	My grandmother 7 times thru out her life. If that woman can find a husband..You have very good chances.

kat20mill	YES but my biggest advice is to not look for it.......Stop thinking about it....it will come promise.

goldensparkler61	No, IT's not hopeless. That last 3 weddings I have been to are of friends that were at least 40 years old. So you have time to get married. I know it can be lonely waiting and looking for the right one, but it will happen. Try to stay positive.

chula_929	no ur never 2 old 4 love n 2 be married good luck n if u got good 4 u

WORLD FAMOUS	It's not hopeless... I think you have a pretty good chance, but just don't look too hard. Sometimes if you think about it too much it can show in your interaction with men and may scare them away. Just remember that getting married, although it's a nice thought, isnt everything in the world. You have a son and that is a wonderful accomplishment. Just dont pressure yourself.

sweetgranny06	you might be better off not getting married way men cheat's but to answer your question i think you still got hope to marry at 32 but make sure he acept's your son or ditch the man

Poppet	It's not hopeless! NOT AT ALL!!! As long as there is breath in your body there is always hope. A dear friend of mine who is 37 is getting married this July to a woman who is 41...this will be the FIRST marriage for both of them.

Lydia	No, it's never hopeless. Good for you for not dating and making sure your son is raised properly!

Rich	Don't set a time limit or age limit. You'll be getting married for the wrong reason. You'll know when you meet the right guy that it is time.

neverwrong24/7	Absolutely NOT hopeless, don't be hard on yourself. It can happen anywhere, anytime, you never know. 32 is not old at all, and SO many people get divorced nowadays with children and meet other people, there is no normal family anymore. It's always unique, you meeeting someone with kids or no kids is normal, so why do you think it couldn't happen to you? I think if you never get out and soicialize, and lock yourself up, you may ruin some chances. Get out and live!

~ Lillie ~	My mom just got amrried and shes 48

jillmarie2000	My mother got married (for the 2nd time) at 37 w three kids so I wouldnt worry if I were you!

Lisa	No its not hopeless. Just wait on the right man to come along. You will never be to old to get married. Please don't rush it because so many of us have married for the wrong reasons. I got married at 20 and now at 32 I am about to call it quits. But I know I will marry again one day in my life. I was always told if God didn't put a marriage together it want work out. So pray for a husband and just wait on GOD.

mandeeree	OF COURSE, REAL LIFE DOES'NT START TILL AFTER THIRTY.

dancing_in_the_hail	Quit looking. I'm not saying that it won't happen, don't get me wrong. But you're sounding desperate. Desperate chicks (and guys) are scary! Start by focusing on YOU and your son. Do things that you've always wanted to do. Try karate together. Go take some guitar lessons. Go hiking. Join some clubs. Whatever really interests you...do it! Work on growing as an individual. When you look back in 20 years are you going to want to remember yourself as someone who was doing things they were passionate about, or someone who was sitting around moping about how "Mr. Right" hadn't come along yet? And just when you're passionate about something amazing and doing what you love to do....just when you look in the mirror and really LOVE who you are because you don't need some guy in your life to define you and make you happy...THAT is when someone great will come along. And it'll last...because you will have figured out who you really are...without some guy. Good luck!
