NOT RUSHING LOVE

Turning 32 this month feels like a big deal, and with it comes the usual questions about my love life ??. I'm single, and it's been 3 years since my last relationship ended. When people ask me to date, I just smile — it's not that I'm not open to it, but I don't want to rush into anything. The usual advice is to just install a dating app and see what happens, but honestly, I'm not a fan. I'm scared of encountering someone who's married or of getting into a messy situation. I don't want to be a home wader or risk getting hurt. And with online dating, there's just so much uncertainty — it's hard to know who's genuine and who's just looking for something casual. Sometimes I do worry about getting older and the pressure to start a family, but I don't want to rush into anything that doesn't feel right. Do other singles out there feel like they're being pushed to move faster than they're comfortable with? ??

I am 64 years of age and yes I would like to start a relationship but I am not that desperate to leave home taking care of my relatives.

I was married by the time I turned 23 and had Pretty... Then married again because people thought I should have a wife to help me raise Pretty... I didn't NEED help raising Pretty and got divorced again after a few years... I LIKE being single and am finally old enough that nobody can pressure me into getting married again. Do what you think is right and ignore people pressuring you to get married. Tell them marriage may be fine for them but you aren't looking at making any mistakes...

@Soobinah You're very welcome. Moms are the worst about wanting their kids married.

I do always ignore them i just actually smile and tell them that I'm happy being single. Married life is not a joke and should be taken seriously. thank you for your advise.

@DaddyEvil not for me, my mom doesnt pressure me at all, she just wanted me to enjoy my life. thats why im so blessed to have her. unlike some of my friends, their moms keep on nagging to them to get married.

I think you’ve really got your head on straight. You should be cautious, and not do anything with which you aren’t comfortable. Once you do meet someone special, you’ll be glad you waited for him, and it will all be worth it.

Yes, I'm very cautious when it comes to dating or being in a relationship. I dont want to rush just because some people keeps on telling me to get a boyfriend then get married, its my life and no one should ever tell me what to do.
