30 soon and never be in love

Will turn 30 in a few months. Kinda feel lonely and sad.

Have dated nice guys,smart guys, handsome guys, rich guys, but never be in love with any guy. Is it unusual? is there any problem with me ?

One year ago, I never hesitate in turning down someone I was not interested or move on from one date to another when things didn`t work out.

Now my confidence complete goes away while thinking about turning 30 and single .

I'm turning 30 in a few months too and I imagine your feelings about love are made all the more worse because of the significance we seem to place on this milestone birthday (though as a guy it is slightly different). For me, having just moved here, my goal is to make friends so I don't spend my 30th birthday by myself, let alone "in love".

I very much doubt anything is wrong with you. In fact, I would continue to be as selective in guys as you always have been. Don't settle.

hayee there! i will be turning 31 a couple of months from now too. But hey! don't feel bad about it..

remember, happiness NEVER depend on people, it will start within yourself. who said that if you get married you will be happy? then again, happiness doesn't hold any status..it is on the way you think and act upon issues of life.

soo, enjoy life to the fullest! be happy always!
cheers! ^_^

Cheer up girl!

Age is just a number and there's much more to life than love.

What would be the crazy but not damaging things a girl can do to celebrate the 30th.

Any suggestions ?

It's your birthday, so of course do what makes you happy. My suggestion would be to get some friends together and head out to a beach town in Thailand or Vietnam (or wherever) and relax during the day and then live it up each night, especially on the day of your birthday. Treat yourself to a great dinner, fun club, etc.

last year on my 30th birthday, i travelled alone..i went to Phuket..i am quite adventurous in sports so i tried water rafting..and it was fun! i had soo much fun even i am celebrating my birthday alone..i was alone in a place full of strangers, had friends with the locals and fellow travellers. i enjoyed the food in phuket, i love the sceneries!

there are alot of things you still can enjoy even alone..it is only up tp you on how you can make it happen.

cheers! ^_^

I married at 34 and we had our first child just over a year later. And then another. You've some time yet. Don't fret at 30 years. Maybe at 40!

I just spent my 30th birthday while a blizzard was going on...

Going to a new place alone sounds a good idea. I indeed don`t want to spend my 30th birthday as usual and have a party with friends.

I am going to be 30 end of this year too and I totally understand how you feel. It scares the sh*t out of me and I don't know if there really is someone out there for me.

My family and friends has been giving me so much pep talk as they see me slowly fall into this depression but you can only help yourself if you see things in a different light. A positive one. I am still trying, have faith even though it's hard to find. Just know you're not the only one. You're not alone.

Hmm... Sounds familiar. I've been there around 3 years ago. I was so nervous/anxious/worried about spending my 30th birthday being single that I dated a good-for-nothing guy. I was 29 at that time. Needless to say, the break up was painful as h*ll.

The funny thing is, once you 'missed' the deadline, you start to approach dating with a clearer mind. And you also start to realise that there is more to life than being in a relationship. When it's your time, there is just no way you can avoid it. Meanwhile, try to enjoy life as a single girl.
