Question - (4 May 2013) 5 Answers - (Newest, 4 May 2013)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

All of my friends have found significant others and have been married for a while. I was in a long term relationship that didn't work out. He left me after 7 years together for a 25 year old.

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.

Freeze your eggs right away so you'll have 36 year old eggs ready to go when you meet the right one.

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.

Join dating websites.

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.

YouWish agony auntFirst 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.

Men who answered here obviously don't know about biological clock that is really ticking at your age. 36 is deffinitely not old nowadays but for a woman who is not married still it might mean that she is getting very close to the line where childbearing become a problem.

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?

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI 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...
