Petrified I won't meet someone and have a family

Online dating was easy in 20s, but it's dried up now and I barely like any men to go on dates with.
I'm mid 30s. Get tonnes of interest from men in real life - usually married men.
I think it's game over and nearly had a panic attack today.
Looking for support please.

Remember life changes in a day. One day I hadn’t met my now husband, the next day I had. One day we were talking about adopting a dozen puppies if we couldn’t conceive, the next day I got a positive pregnancy test.

Life really is one day to the next. You truly truly never know what is going to happen tomorrow. Just focus on being the best happiest you you can be and the rest will follow!

Tulio gives great advice. Meeting someone and having a family isn’t always a happy ever after. I’m a single mother after 13 years of marriage to a wonderful man but due to a trauma we couldn’t make our marriage work. Life is great at the moment.

Try and enjoy your life without a man or a child
There must be good things about it
If you don't like your life then why would anyone else want to share it with you?!

Which men did you like in your 20s? Whats changed?

I'd start exploring how to become a parent without a romantic relationship with a man such as going it alone with a sperm donor, or co-parenting in a non-romantic relationship.

Join a cycling club a few high quality single men at dh club

tuxedocatsintophats · 13/06/2019 09:15

God, no, NO to cycling guys, they're the greatest percentage of dick parents on MN as they continue to put cycling before anything else.

I'd quit focusing so much on men and more on yourself and what you want and ways to get it rather than some bloke.
