My husband was 41 when we got married (just turned 40 when we started dating). Our wedding was my 37th birthday. We just became parents.

Way too little information to speculate. But, anything is possible. However, it must be said, in this great seething mass of humanity, exactly half of which are persons of the opposite (or same) sex, it is impossible to "hasn't met the right person yet." Impossible. So... when people over 30 say this, it is an indication to me that they will never meet the right person. Mainly because they simply do not have the ability to understand that the right person is who they decide is the right person. Assuming of course that someone is there to be considered at all. It is more up to them than it is up to anyone they might meet. And... just saying.. 275 is still pretty big. Works against guys more than it does against women. FWIW

Of course he can find someone. I didn't realize that love had an expiration date.

Are you suggesting that he make just anyone "the right person" coz that would be ridiculous? Obviously people want someone who is well suited to them so they shouldn't settle for just anyone. Yes they can compromise on some things but not everything.

Depends on the height and body type, but generally 275 is still pretty big. Still these things take time and dropping weight too quickly isn't good either.

There is definitely still time to fall in love, get married, and start a family. Make yourself the best person you can be, be available and open to love, and start dating. Many of my friends have had great luck with dating websites such as Match.com, etc., but if that's not your speed just get out there and meet people on your own.

Congratulations on the weight loss. I don't know how tall you are, but for most men 275 is still on the big side. Getting to an optimal healthy weight, having good grooming and hygiene, dressing nicely, being of good character, having a good sense of humor, being honest, respectful, responsible, and interesting improves your chances as well. You can do this.

He can find someone, but he is still a very large man. As long as he isn't hung up on looks/size there is someone out there for him.
