30 and worried I’ll always be single

I am 30, and never had a boyfriend apart from a short 7 month fling with a man who told me he dated me as he was lonely.

Took me two years to move on and then I met this lovely man on a dating app. We instantly clicked, amazing convo, fun times, so comfortable together and can just be myself. I was so happy. But then he didn’t know if he sees his future back in Australia currently in the uk… so he ended things and now we are friends but it feels sad because I’m on dating apps, I go out, I’m social, I travel etc. I do everything but I NEVER meet a man I am attracted to

Like the last guy Isnthe first guy in years and I don’t know what to do. I’m scared my time is going to pass and I’ll never have kids.

In fact, I’m completely in love with the Australian man and I love having him in my life and I’ve never had a connection like that. I see him every couple days, we go to gigs, theatre, cook meals together. I can tell him everything

And I’m trying to date other men but I can’t find what I have with this man. I hate love.

If it’s not gonna work out with the Australian guy, cut him off You’re not helping yourself by keeping him around. You’re hung up on a relationship that isnt happening and comparing other men to him. It sucks but if yall aren’t going to be together it’s not fair to anyone who is trying to date you that you’re in love with some other guy and still hanging out with him. It’s not fair to yourself either because you’re not giving anyone an actual chance.

Why is is not going to work with the Australian? I was expecting a completely different post! In fact, it was going exactly as I expected until you mentioned the Australian and now you have me intrigued! What's wrong with him? He sounds great to me. What am I missing? Don't date other people if he seems like he could be right for you because you're likely shooting yourself, not in the foot but in both knees!!! But if you have a valid reason as to why he cannot work, then just be friends with him and start trying dating sites. At 29, I too thought I was doomed after a failed marriage, 4 miscarriages and a long list of failed relationships, FWB fiascos etc. I was just ready to go and do IVF all by myself to at least try to give myself the children I've always wanted; when I met my now fiancé last May at the age of 30. He proposed in August, exactly 1 week after my 31st birthday, my only real problem is that he doesn't want as many children as I do lol. I'm just gere to tell you that when you least expect it;, your knight in shining armour will come and save you from the life of solitude and spinsterhood that you're so terrified of! Btw ee met on Match.com, I really recommend it. Buy remember, it's still the Internet, you have to sift out the liars carefully because you'll notice that many profiles state that they're looking for a serious relationship but that's actually far from the truth. Some say they want children too, not true either and if it is, they usually mean in the very distant future! So look out for those and also those who have no idea what they want in either regard! However, if the Australia's worth it, give him a chance and give it your best shot! If not, there's a pretty good start! I wish you the very best of luck and hope that you'll find true love and happiness soon. Hugs!

Because he dumped me when he lost his job 3 months ago, said he doesn’t think we’re the right fit and that he doesn’t feel romantic. But now we’re friends but we have a great connection but he’s not pushing for a relationship, we don’t even kiss. It’s kinda sad as I wanna kiss him so bad

You wont attract someone else to you if the door is not shut on Australia Guy. It's just the way energy works. I dated a guy casually for like 10 months, no drama but it just wasnt going anywhere. I kept my options open but nothing came to fruition. Then I decided to end it with him and no friendship anymore either. I met my husband just a couple weeks later. I didnt marry until my 30s either.

The Australian guy is going to block other blessings, i would cut him off. He may also come to realize he wants you once you make yourself not available to him.
