to ask you when you met your partner?

[lostoldlogin]

I'm 30 with a son who will be 4 next week. I'm generally happy, but I am single. Apparently I'm attractive and intelligent, have a good group of friends, I do sports, have a job etc etc.

But I can't seem to find a partner and having been not too worried about it for the last few years, now I'm worrying that I'll be alone forever. I know it sounds a bit over dramatic - but I do feel pretty lonely.

AIBU to ask when (and how!) you met your partner?

Met DH on match.com when I was 26, engaged at 27, married at 30, baby at 31 xx

I was 34, he was 27. Had seen him around work but hadn't thought of him in 'that' way as thought he was too young! I'd been single 7 years (and had given up thinking I'd ever be with anyone else) and had 2 DS's -15 and 13, one profoundly disabled. He'd never been married or had kids. We got set up by a mutual friend and knew straight away we were meant to be together.
Everything moved very quickly - he'd moved in before 4 months had gone by and I was pregnant at 9 months into the relationship. We're now the parents of a 6week old DS and couldn't be happier.
It sounds corny, but when you find 'the one' you just know - feels like I've known him forever. it's true when they say love comes when you least expect it and its often right under your nose!

I was 15, H2B was 16 and we have been inseparable ever since! Saw each other every single day without fail before moving in together at 17 and 18, and we're still as loved up as ever (cheesy as that is)! 22 and 23 now, buying a house later this year, getting married next year, and then hopefully DC as soon as after that! That's the plan anyway!!

You'll find your "one" when the time is right for you OP! My future MIL has only recently met the "man of her dreams" after being single since my OH's dad left when he was a toddler and she is 49 so you are definitely never too old xxx

I am 38 and I was in a relationship for 11 years. It hadn't been right for a good 3 years before we broke up. I was 30 when we split and stayed single for 2 and a half years before meeting DH. We got married, had DD (14 months old) and we will start ttc DC 2 in June.

You have lots of time to meet someone Op. I do understand how you feel though. I remember feeling the same before meeting DH. 30 is still young. Best wishes
