Yes. You might need to be proactive and accept that it might not happen

But do everything you can to make it happen. Then you’ll not have to look back in regret.

Definitely! The world is your lobster.

Good luck!

Itsmostlygristlecath · 29/09/2019 21:41

Yes, you are young!

Mummybares · 29/09/2019 21:42

Why not. Just might need to review some choices

Hi OP, there's a thread like this from someone in your shoes pretty much every week. Have a search, you might find some useful help.

Gillian1980 · 30/09/2019 09:20

Yep.
I met DH at 31, married at 34, kids at 35 and 39.... I had been single for well over a decade before that.

Elmo230885 · 30/09/2019 09:28

Yes definitely. I was single for 8 years. Did a fair amount of internet dating at 28/29. Met my husband at 29 (almost 30). I just turned 34, we are now married, have a house and two children. When its right it right.
Be proactive and you'll know when its right.

Yep, I was single at 30 and now have 2DC. Write down what are your important values ( or watch YouTube tutorials on this) eg do you value someone who would do anything for their mum versus someone who likes to have boundaries and space, someone who is cheery no matter what or someone who is very pragmatic and honest etc. Get a good idea of what's important to you.

Then go on lots of dates. Coffee dates before work, during lunch break, just after work. Short, sharp, see if there is chemistry. If so, then look at longer dinner type dates.

Treat it like a project, aim to speak to / see x amount of men a month. Sounds a bit clinical but it's a numbers game.

Good luck!
