why is it that I am almost 35 , divorced , and feel like I will never meet somone special again

natural feeling...you'll be alright...have patience

Try being 42, divorced, 2 grown children and 2 grandkids. God I feel old! lol

I think it's because at our age.... we've all been burnt a time or two and whether we want to admit it or not... are scared to stick our necks out for fear of being hurt and rejected again....

I think that's very normal, but you gotta keep the hope! I don't wanna speak for men, but I think that we're more attractive when we have a positive self image and portray self confidence.

I've been single a while, but I still have hope.

Keep your head up

Hey I'm 42 and feel better than I ever have!!!! It's just a number

bless y'all
It feels like there is a f'ing sign on me

That's true Giggles, but when I tell a guy I have grandkids they run for the hills to never been heard from again.

I was married 13 years, and have 3 angels

I look like I am in my 20's , and I get are college guys or men old enough to be my father

I went from a 47 year old to an 18 year old in the dating considerations. The age thing is pretty relative. it's alot about mindset.

either they are too drunk to do anything or way too old!

Let em run away.Better from the start.We want a man to run to us.Not away.

then you dont want or need them in your life anyways!!!!

You are not the only one . Millions of people are in your shoes too . be patient and patience always pays or that is what they say anyway .....

This is all thanks to our "youth-obsessed" culture nowadays. it has seemed that the only demographic that matters to the corporate world and the media are pretty twenty-somethings who neither have a clue as to how the world works NOR how to deal with it. So- as the saying goes- those of us in our thirties (I'm 35... and a half) have already considered "over-qualified", which is corporate demographic talk for "over the hill". This same myopic mentality can also be seen in the dating scene, as the media will claim that those who haven't been in a stable marriage by their thirties are doomed to a life as a hermit.

And to think there was a time only twenty-or-so years ago when you could be a rockstar or a movie star WELL into your thirties, too.

I'll travel for Pat's tickets.

Dont quit, I'm not telling my age (cause I'm a party crasher) but if you reversed your age I would still have some on you. I've been fighting giving up on serious dating. I started taking my photos off of paid dating sites disappointed in all the games and just waiting for my time to expire. Today(this is true) I met the most incredible man who caught me completely off guard. He appears to be a perfect complement to just me, so now I am pinching myself while waiting to see how this plays out. I've talked to a couple of men over the past year, but this has that hint of "special" when I had literally given up already. So even if this doesn't pan out, if there is hope for me there is certainly hope for a lovely lady of just 35.

At 31 I have tried a couple of relationships and they didn't work out for one reason or another, I feel like I will never meet the the kind of woman I could grow old with. I still keep at it because maybe I will prove myself wrong. All you have to do is not give up. Eventually you will meet that special someone that will sweep you off your feet.Just keep the faith.
