I am 46 and people say I am too old to marry now. My problem is, I hate arranged marriages and prefer to find my own girl. The girl, i feel is most compatible is not responding despite my best efforts to impress her. What to do?

It's never too late for you to marry! Well, at that's what I believe in. I think love does not pick any age, it may come while you're still young, and it may come when you're not so young anymore. If you really love the girl then don't give up, she may just not realize it now, but maybe she'll realize it soon enough. Remember though, that sometimes, when you least expect it, it will come. So don't give up hope, and sooner or later, you will find her, or in your case, she'll find you. =)

Hi there! I don't think that there is such a thing as too old to get married. I think that love chooses no age and it's better to be the one to choose the one whom you will marry compared to arranged marriages.

NO is not yet late... There is no age limit in marrying as long as you love the girl and she love you also age doesn't matter. There is a saying that "Better late than never."

Hello...at first you need a girl...if you dont have yet dont look desperate...we hate it...second I cant hardly understand why you have to accept your family choices at 2009...is about country issues ..I know....is difficult for you because it probabbly cause you more STRESS...be careful on which girl you put eyes on...take time for yourself first,for example: buy new wardrobe, a new haircut, good perfume, take a bath with a showergel that contains musk, take care of your teeth and breath,doing fitness you can get fit, if you have access to a plastic surgeon and have a//big nose// or another imperfection take the risk of change it, if not, be as sensitive as you show me you're...because the most important for a woman is to have a strong men from inside to outside...Sorry if it seems so cruel but in my country we like romance first.....and go uot frequently...bye...FLOWER

It's never to late to get married. Especially since you're a guy. I hope you won't give in to the arranged marriage. Go for the one you truly love because that's is the only time when you will be truly happy. Just be more patient and time will come that you will meet the girl of your dreams. Just socialize more and meet some friends. Go out and enjoy the nightlife. you might meet her there.

You are not too late to get married.You still have the time to find a good girl. You don't have to go for arranged marriage, but you can register in various websites which are for people looking for marriage. I find my partner through shaadi.com. All the best for you! Hope you will find somone soon.

I don't think there is any age limit to get married. Rather you are pretty young when compared to those who get married after thier 60th birthday :) But you will have to priorotize or make many things clear to your fiance before you tie the knot. Some of it is - would you still like to have a kid (because you will be pretty old by the time your kid crosses his/her teen) or like to adopt one, or about financial factors and many things which you will be the best person to judge.

You haven't said what kind of effort you've taken to impress this girl of yours. Unless she knows that you're interested in her, it does become a problem to draw her attention. 46 may not be the right age to make uch attempts, but you can be rest assured that there are many women who marry late and are well qualified and well-to-do as well. A woman in her middle or late 30s would be ideal. What I would recommend is that you walk up to this girl's parents and ask for her hand, or if you think you can do one better, propose to this girl.There's no harm in trying.

there's no such thing as too old to marry! i think you should make her feel that she needs you and that she'll miss you when you're gone. let her know how sincere you are in your interest in her.

So I think there is no late to get married. In some contries, like Germany for example, the people get married when they are on middle age- after they have made a career. That's why I don't think that it is to late for you to marry now. I can wish you only a good luck and a happy life with your future wife!!!

The great thing about being a man is that we have Balls. You have the rest of you life to have kids. As it has been said many times before, "There is always more fish in the sea."

You are not too old to get married at all. If this one girl is not responding then I would keep looking if I were you.

It's never too late... But I think you have high standards for a "wife" that is why you still can't look for other women. The girl you mentioned, do you really love her? Or are you just infatuated with her? There might be women around you who must have loved you but you just ignored them... So feel free to look around some more...

Of course,you are late.Don't waste any more time to get married.If you love that girl sincerely,push off your principles against arranged marriage and ask her parents through your well wishers.Anyhow,your goal must be to get her as your partner.Try your level best,either love or arranged,get into that wedlock.Cheers!

Hmmm, if she's is not responding, then there is a problem, a big problem. Don't worry about your age as long as you will be happy in life. You are old enough to choose for yourself so please do yourself a favor and disregard that arranged marriage thing. I know it will not be easy to look , that's what they say that in love, you don't need to search or look, the more you do that, the more you need to wait. Don't search, just be happy and it will come by the moment you don't expect it to come. Just like my friend, who is i think the same age like you. He keeps on looking for a girl in my country. But when he did not search and gave up looking, in just one day it happened. He was able to meet the girl of his dreams, just near their town. So now his got a gf and is very much happy.

No you are not too late to marry. The thing is that you are too late to find a girl. Obviously the girl which you will prefer will be somewhat near about your age or take it to be at an average of 40. But the women are not free they might be already married. So, I don't know the person you want to impress is married or single. If she is married and she is ignoring that means you are interfering in her life.And, if she is single then try to find out the reason why she is ignoring you
