You sure their attraction to you is real im not attractive and have never been in a relationship and women seem to like me all of a sudden. The next women that approaches me I will tell them im 38 with no relationship experience to see if that so called attraction is real.
I dunno, I think they like my personality more than my looks. I don't instantly attract them, it takes time. haha
It's not too late; don't give up. I am about to turn 53 and have not been married. I found him once, but he passed away suddenly before we got married. I am still looking for my soul mate.
It's never too late, but I wouldn't look down on your own life by comparing it to others. Remember, the grass isn't always greener and many couples put on a happy front but are miserable behind closed doors.
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
Be very careful dating if the goal/hope is marriage and then children. Don't rush it, even if the 'clock' seems be ticking down. Don't discount relationship issues thinking y'all will work them out later. Talk about them and work them out before marriage. If the relationship is not working out for the both of you, then it may be best to part before marriage and children.
If you want to find a woman then get out there and do it. This is easier said than done, but you have to do a complete 180 from what you have been doing, not only mentally and physically, but characteristically. Good luck.

If you give up then you have no chance, why would you do that?
Who cares about if they are married with children?
How do you know they are happy and who cares?
Age is just a number.
It isn't your mother's fault if she has no grand children and not yours either.
Why would you want to settle down? That sounds boring to me.
You have a LOT going for then millions of people, sir when you said you have a career, nice house and a nice car <---- Millions of people don't have this.
Just because they 'look' happy does not mean they are happy. I can tell you stories.
No such thing as late.

If you want a relationship, why not talk to her like a normal person? If you don't want a relationship, sure, scare her away by being weird.
my cousin couldn't find anyone that she wanted to spend any real time with she was busy with work and her social life and being happy with herself. she sought IVF to have her children now she has two and she is blissfully happy and still works and owns her own home. she is the warrior i picture when i think of getting what i want. she didn't let societal pressure or what her family had to say when they told her it would be too hard, she just got what she wanted and i have never sen her have a sad day.... its nice to think that the picture of family that we see on the tv is achievable but most people get divorced... unfortunately things don't last forever..
