There is a side of me that totally is contemplating of just staying single the rest of my life. It is rough now that I am a year away from turning 40. A lot of people around my age and years younger are happily married with small children and here I have nothing. I was in a relationship that almost led to an engagement 4 years ago. But it didn't workout am I too old since I am a year away from 40? What sucks is my mom talks to her friends who are grandmothers already and she tells them of how lucky they are to have small grandchildren and that she has and never will have any grandchildren. I tell my mom that not to say stuff like that and that it isn't the end of the world. And she tells me that I am almost 40 and I don't have anyone yet. That tends to upset me more because it is so tough to find someone to date. It is just like I am thinking she is right that pretty much everyone younger than me has settled down. The only thing I have going for me is that I have a rewarding career and have a nice house and car that I worked for? I am thinking that is nothing that I have a rewarding career because I am still in competition with younger guys who are having rewarding careers also and have a family. It just makes more depressed when I see younger families all happy together to do family events and here I have nothing. I enjoy going for shows at the theater or attending sporting events. I don't know anymore. Is it too late for me? Please hel with your comments because I don't feel to happy about this once in a while
you are not late, but if you are woman with having children may be may be not. But do it for your self not for your mother or any one else. If you are being happy stay single do so. Don't try to settle because others are settled.

well dude, it sure sounds hopeless/bleak and it sure looks like you may end up single for the rest of your life and die that way. so you pretty much only have two choices right now: accept the life you have been dealt or... do something about it until you change your destiny. that's it. good luck.

Never give up bro. Stop looking. It always seems to work that way. At least it did for me. The more you try, the harder it can be. When you stop looking and are at ease with yourself, it shows. Other people sense desperation. When you do other things in life to make you happy it will show and people will be attracted to it. Good luck.
Keep your chin up and hang in there. Be comfortable with yourself, others will sense that and want to be a part of it and you too. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings and for you that won’t be for another 50 years or so, so in the meantime enjoy the time you have now to the fullest.
