I probably would say this but one of my good friends is a great catch but just cannot find a decent man!
She has a few relationships including a couple of long term ones, but they never work out - and to be honest, most people could have seen that from the start!
She just seems to 'settle' for a guy instead of holding out for 'the one'.
In her own words, at 35 she feels under pressure to find her future husband / father of her kids ASAP (which is why she 'settles') and has even said things like 'maybe he'll do for now and say the next 5 years, I'll get a kid out of him then see how it goes...' which to me is bizarre and quite frankly the wrong way of going about things.
Though I can understand things from her point of view - she really wants to settle down with a decent guy and start a family.
And I just want to help her but not sure how I can...??
She has tried internet dating before (and said she will try again) and I'm also going to try to set her up with a friend of a friend but just wondered if there is anything else I can say or do?
I saw her recently and she is was getting quite down and upset about this now (though happy in every other aspect of her life).
