Dear Mums and Wives of the world....Help?

[penser123]

Hi guys I equate this forum to a fount of all knowledge so can't wait to hear your much needed advice:

I just turned 32 and still haven't met Mr right. Based on your experience, what advice would you guys give a woman in my position? I'd love to have a family some day and get married. Everyone around me seems to be getting hitched and having babies and I'm really worried that I have missed the boat. In your experience , in your 30s, what's the best way to meet a great guy and what things would you advise me to keep in mind during this rather PAINS taking process? Thanks in advance for your answers guys, I know they'll be amazing.

(PS Could the advice be directed to help women particularly 'at my age'? ).

What has led to you believing that this forum is so knowledgeable?

32 is v young! I didn't meet DP until I was 35 and it felt as if I had been to every wedding and baby shower in the world. I would say:

Offline

Ask your friends for set-ups
Join a new group - eg rock climbing has lots of men
If you are in London, I recommend the meddler events, if I hadn't been with my OH and just there as moral support, I could have had about 6 different dates from that!

Online

Online dating sucks hairy donkey balls, but I know loads of people who met their partners on forums - do you have an interest where you could do that? It tends to work better as you have things in common and an open forum rather than the expectations of tinder etc.

Finally, relax and enjoy. You can't rush it, so enjoy the great things about being single whilst you have them!

Scarenoobs's response... ☺

I'm definitely not a journalist but I'll take that as a compliment ( I think) 😉 lol

Hi again

may I ask - is English your second language?

Erm, not the last time I checked. I only have one ☺. Lol.

Ok well I'm not a 'guy' but perhaps get out and about and take up some hobbies?

Sorry. It's just that your style of writing is really odd - it's not as casual as most of us. And why do you say that you know our answers will be amazing? They might be terrible.

I know what it is you remind me of, it's those lovely people from the far East when you do a Microsoft livechat. They are so polite... it makes me feel most inadequate.

Your English (grammar) is also very suspect though. A fount of all knowledge? Really? And much needed advice?

Also what's with the capitals?

You sound old-fashioned, not like a modern British woman.

I'm certainly not old fashioned. But do tell, what are your criteria for a modern British woman?!

One of mine would be that she is open minded and not quick to pigeon hole people based on scanty amounts of information. But that's just one of my criteria and of course I could be wrong and waaay off the mark...

Any hooooooooo.... back to the OP.

Join lots of groups where you'll meet people naturally. If it happens great, if it doesn't just enjoy the benefits of being single.

It's "font of all knowledge". A font being a vessel.

< misses the point >

Ta.

I doubt it.

Big change in tone there OP

THE STANDARD FORM IS FOUNT??? I am shocked. My apologies OP.

I think work is a great place to meet the opposite sex. Once you've met someone you like I would recommend dating someone else at the same time!! It helps with obsessive over-analysis of texts and suchlike, which can mess stuff up at the start.

Yes, Arfarfanarf , thanks for your advice, I think you're completely right. It's a bad idea to obsess about Mr right and just enjoy single life whilst I still have it . Certainly in the past, things have happenened when least expected.
