I'm assuming your question is whether or not you should be feeling frustrated? Well, that all depends on you and your peers, family, etc. It's normal I suppose that people get married and end up pregnant pretty quick these days, but truthfully, a lot of those marriages won't work out. I'm sure if your friends are all settling down you may feel left behind somehow. The key is to not let something like that keep you from enjoying your life completely. Don't focus on finding a boyfriend, just do things you enjoy and stay busy and someone will just come along. Worrying and thinking you should already be settling down is futile and serves no purpose. You are 32, not 62. You're still young and God has a plan for you. Be patient.

If you can afford to bring up a child get IVF. Then at least part of your goal will be completed.

Less attractive people find mates too.... What "people" are you referring too?

Looks only get in the way if one is not aware of where they rank and happen to be expecting too much from potential dates in regards to looks. Expecting to land someone “out of your league” is an issue. Many a homely person has found love with someone just like them. No different than the so called beautiful people who connect with each other. Usually there is someone for everyone. Most people eventually settle down with somebody.

More important than looks is personality and stability. First you must connect with someone (in your own league) and secondly you should aspire to be a good partner to someone. Emotional and financial stability are huge factors in keeping a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Go out, relax, have some fun. Go out with some of your friends, or by yourself. Go where many other folks are having fun dancing & talking. Get to know a few of these new friends. This is the first step before dating. Dance & get to know them, than date.

Completely understand; the last man I dated had the qualities I'm looking for in a partner. Vegan, non-smoking, non-drinking, no drugs, attractive in shape and worked out, homeowner and debt free. Unfortunately the chemistry wasn't there.

I have come to accept that it may not happen even though I want to be married to the right partner and have children together. It's not an easy lump to swallow but what other alternative is there. I'm living my life and enjoying as best.

Would you be adamant against having a partner that are meat or had a beer once in a while or had dinner debt if the chemistry was right?
