Hope for more children?

I'm 32, recently single and I have a 5 year old daughter! Is there hope that I will find that happily ever after and have more children one day?

How old was everyone when they started again/had children?

OP - you roughly have about 8-10 more years to have more kids. Or a bit more if you freeze your eggs - which in your place I’d do as it gives a bit more time and removes some of pressure.

However - I don’t know if you used ‘happily ever after’ in a jokey way, or if you are actually hoping to meet the One.
Was gonna say - if you are truly expecting some sort of a perfect person who would complete you - you may end up quite unhappy and disillusioned. It’s better to not put too much pressure/emphasis/hopes on a fairy tale.

Good luck and happy dating!

Hmm, got one child, separated at 36, so I was older, but always thought I'd like 2. Never found anyone good enough to settle down with although I'd still like to. Too late for another now - 50 next year 😬. Nope, it doesn't always happen, and it's harder the older you get as the pool gets smaller, but your bar becomes higher and you stand for less. On the plus side, you are less likely to end up with someone inappropriate. Freezing eggs is a good idea. I'm quite happy with my fabulous one child though, I struck gold first time, I'm so proud of him Smile

I was single at the start of being 32 and in a relationship and a mother before 34. Had another at 42... you’ve got loads of time.
