I'm 28 and have a friend who is 32, and she lives abroad now so haven't seen her since Christmas.
She has been single for around 5 years and not really had anything short-term since then either.
She, like some other women i imagine, is starting to feel that 'time is running out'.
She says she's so tired of being single, and that in the country where she's leaving, people tend to get married and settle down very young, so she finds it hard to meet single men.
I suggested to her that she doesn't necessarily need to have a partner to have a child but she said that there is no way she can afford to raise a child alone.
Not sure what kind of advice I can offer her outside of the usual try OLD, join clubs, socialise in new places etc.
I've told her that she still has plenty of time but she doesnt want to be an 'older mum'.
What else could she possibly try ? She seems quite depressed and has lost all hope.
