Afraid to become an OLDMAID!?

May 12, 2009 5:27am CST
I have a friend who is 37 year old now but she don't have any relationship since birth. She really wanted to have a boyfriend now but no one courting her. I don't know what would be the problem because she is smart, pretty, intelligent, and sexy. If you could see her...you would really say she's GREAT! Actually she's not closing her door to anyone. She entertained suitors before and went on dating but she didn't type those men. And now, she's enjoying chatting online but unfortunately she finds nothing. She's getting bored on waiting her perfect guy. Can you help me looking for a perfect guy for her? If you have friends who are still available and interested, just respond this discussion, I'll give you her ym. Thanks!

i personally don't have any friends for her, but i think your friend's problem may be that she's holding out looking for "prince charming" or waiting on the "perfect" guy. it's a mistake a lot of women make. it's not the worst thing in the world, but your friend must realize that while it's a good thing she's holding out for somebody who's worth her time.. she may be missing out on a great opportunity!

I think you need not to worry about her as I guess she is is comfortable with the situation as thats the way she is and she likes to be.

If she wants to be in a family way then I guess she got to shake herself out of her fear of sharing her life with some one.Yes I know having a baby at this age might be a uncomfortable thought but I am sure she can have a non complicated pregnancy and enjoy the motherhood.

I feel sad because she's getting eager to have her own family. She told me last night, it's getting hard for her to give birth at age of 37. How much more if she would reach to 40's.

i can understand your friend's desperation because at 37, a woman is not that young anymore and definitely looking to spend a life with somebody... i got married at 27 to a man that i really love so much... he comes out of the blue and i never searched for him... we had gone through a lot of things together now... i think your friend have to lower down her expectation and just accept that no man is perfect in this world... i wish her luck... take care and have a nice day...

Old Maid - don't wanna like this as Single
You mean she's very choosy with the right guy based on her qualifications. well, it works for some but for most, you either accept him or changed him. well, she shouldn't give up if you are right about your description. am pretty sure she'll find some one out there, there's so many men in the world she can choose between A,B, C..have a nice day

Change him? That is a mistake too many women make, thinking he will change. We have to accept our guys for what they are, good and bad. If you want to change him, then it would be better to wait until you find a guy who is already what you want.

Before, she seemed to be very choosy with the right guy but this time, she's very desperate to get married because she's not getting any younger.

I'll be 31 this year, and as much as like to date right now, I really need to concentrate on getting my life straightened out before dealing with someone else. I'm not at all upset at not being married now--one of my friends was 36 when she was married, and another one of my friends was 38 when she and her husband had their first baby. It's all in God's timing.

Being choosy would end up nothing and being an old maid...because she's looking for a perfect guy or should i say an ideal guy and to tell you, there's no such thing as an ideal one in real life...so why not go for a try if there's someone will court her..give it a shut! And you mention that friend of yours is smart, sexy and so forth..maybe one of the reason why? Guys feel intimidated by her, so why not go out and have fun?

She sounded so desperate and at 37 her biological clock is ticking away very fast and sure it will be difficult to find Mr right at this age as most men go for younger women. And getting to know someone in a distance is not a good idea as in her bid to end her single status she might end up choosing Mr Wrong. It will be more appropriate for her to get involved in activities that give her wider opportunities in meeting the right person.

I understand my friend why she's eager to get married now because all of her siblings were married and she's the only one in our group who is single. Everytime we go to party, I feel her sadness because she had no partner. I pray she could find her right guy soon.

well.. the thing is most guys don't like woman who seem smart.. they usually prefer woman who are funny and dumb.. i guess your friend would have to fake out some goofing around to get noticed..ask her to give it a try and let me know.. ;)

hi rose, you're friend is blessed by you bcoz you are comppasionate about of what she feels. Anyway, blessed singleness comes on our way...why? there were women who wanted to get married and when something happens and broke up then they will realize and say " I hope that i would be single again ". Why? lots of women were battered and fell into divorce because of pushing something that is not really the will of God for them. God taught us how to wait patiently for His will but we are hot-headed someting that we make our own way. Tell her to enjoy the years of being single so that when the perfect will of God comes, then she will ever live happily with her spouse ever after. I believe when she seek God first then God will send her a partner in life. Not only a partner but a descendants...God bless!

i think there's a problem within herself that needs to discover. her qualification is so high i think that guys can make it or dont qualify it. this is just my idea ha not sure. so impossible that since birth dont have bf, she has many it only last shorter i guess. she soon to look at it before the time passes by coz its hard to make pregnant if we are old.
