I find myself single, 36, no prospects. I'm in college and surrounded by people in their early to mid twenties. I feel OLD. A girl even said to me the other day that she's surprised I'm not married with a couple kids at my age. Is it hopeless?! Am I old? I'm starting to feel like I'll never have the family I've always dreamed of. Reply to this Question

Keep plugging away at school - whether you're in school or not, the years are going to still fly by. Might as well be accomplishing a goal.

Start ignoring your number (age). Don't think about it and just live to the fullest. Keep busy. Be positive. Workout. Study hard. Get an awesome career. Date online.

Your 36 not 96 lol . I had our first child at 18 teen and my hubby was 21 . We waited, until I was 37 and had our next child and then I got a surprise at 41 pregnant again.. But I can understand your worry.. Women I think we're put on this earth to worry. Lol

 First of all, your long term leaving you for a 25 year old is a jerk, and don't let his weakness cause you to buy into the belief that you're not good enough. If you're interested in meeting someone, you can go online to a site like Match and find an absolute surplus of people with similar situations. Just because your ex was an asshole does not mean every guy is like that.

Time is a little running out, but you still have 5 years or so for children. Have you tried matching sites where you clearly state that you want someone who wants to have a family with children?

 I think that the most important thing that you should be worrying about is if/whether or not your Social Security benefits run out before you sign your "final contract" with The Big Guy.....
Honestly.... you're 36!!!! "Old" can't even BEGIN to begin until/unless you get to your mid-60s!!!!!!!
Keep pluggin'......
Good luck...
