How old were you when...

[thecolourofpeas]

You got married/found the one?

Had kids? (if any)

Thanks,

From a panicked 29 singleton.

Met him at 19, married at 21, 1st DC at 22, 2nd Dc at 24, last DC at 27.

Him being a dick and wrecking everything at 34, trying to get everything back together again at 35.

You have plenty of time, don't worry, my best friend is a year older than me, 2 years ago she didn't know her DP, now they're engaged and TTC.

Please don't buy into the whole 'settle down at 30' thing, OP. Believe me, you've plenty of time still, and as PPs have said, things can happen very quickly, and I know plenty of women who were single at 30 who were married with children by 35.
But, since you ask:
I met DH at 24, started dating at 25.
Married at 31, DD born at 32.

Met him when I was 29
DD born just after I turned 32
Married at 33
Currently TTC DC2

Try not to worry OP, but I've been in your shoes. I asked now DH out for the date on the back of being dumped by 3 month internet dating "romance" - you never know what's around the corner. Good luck.

Met at 27, married at married at 30, dc 1 at 30, dc2 at 34.

Met at 18, married at 24, first dc 27, second dc 29.
I'm an 'old fashioned' soul - always wanted to be a wife & mother. Was lucky enough to meet DH when I did.

married at 27, first (and only) child at 42

Met at 21, married at 23 and first baby at 25.
Don't panic you have plenty of time to find "the one"- 29 is young!

Met my now-DH at 25.
Married him at 29.
Had DD at 33 and DS at 35.

Met at 16 and went out together (split as I was in college and he is 2 school years below me).

Got together when I was 20 and he was 18, married when I was 22 and our DD when I was 28. It's been 22 years this year

Haven't met "the one" yet...is she out there somewhere? Although the older I get the less I believe in such fantasies (bah!)

2 days before my 38th birthday.
In the past 3 years we've sold out houses and bought one, got married and I'm pregnant with DC1

So don't panic, you'll make it worse. Subconsciously you can come across as desperate.

FWIW I met DH online on a site that does psychometric testing and isn't cheap. I figured that any bloke willing to pay and do the questionnaire is serious about a relationship

Met at uni.

Got together at 26.

Had children at 31.

Met DP just after my 30th birthday.

Kissed him for the first time on my 31st birthday.

Got pregnant on my 33rd birthday.

He's 6 years older than me.

Not married. Not our bag.

Found the one aged 28
Had DS aged 31
Got engaged aged 32

Am now 33

Met at 19.
DC1 at 31.
DC2 at 34.
Not married (am now 40).

I am single and would say I haven't met the one, despite a 7yr relationship at 21.

Got pregnant at 30 whilst still single.

Met at 30.

Married and had DC by 34.

See, it's just around the corner for you

My advice, if you definitely want children, would be to try and ascertain early on if the other person is interested in having children at some point in the near/near-ish future - without getting all heavy on them if you're just casually dating, obviously! It can be a deal breaker, and it's best to find out before getting too involved.

Met DP at 38.
Had DS at 41.
Still together (not married) after 30 years.
