    It's 3am and i can't seem to sleep. I just broke up with my (ex)gf earlier last night. She's 24 and I'm 33 so we had different views on the relationship. I ready for something a little bit more permanent while she wasn't. That's okay, I didn't think I was going to be with her forever anyways.

    I've never been married and my longest relationship was 2 years. Everyone around me is getting hitch and many of them have kids. I get this weird feeling that if I don't find anyone serious by 35 (no offense to anyone older), I'm destined to be alone. The last train is leaving the station. Anyone feel the same way?

    First. No where in your post did you mention "lonely", so thats a great sign.

    Second. Its a station for a reason. The trains had come before you showed up and will come after you leave. :p

    Third. Isn't 33 a little young to be questioning destiny?

    Fourth. I hope your countenance is not as dour as your post because that would not be sexy.

    Fifth. Quit looking...I mean, don't force the issue. Enjoy being single. I can't tell you enough how attractive someone enjoying themselves is to other people.

    Sixth. There is no sixth...aren't you glad? :p

    ^Truth.

    Don't think about it so much. Enjoy living life, and focus on being happy yourself rather than waiting around for someone else to make you happy. Not only will you be happier... you'll generate more interest, too. :)

    Dude. Don't be a liar. You said that you couldn't sleep at 3 a.m., but you're posting at 5:23? :rolleyes:
    You're thinking SpongeBob SquarePants "Everyone's Gone" episode, when it was "No SpongeBob Day" and everyone left. Later, it was no Patrick day and everyone left Patrick alone. :eek:

    Kyakko, enjoy being alone, brother... press the toothpaste from the middle, leave the seat up, stop at a park and get on the swings for a little while, get a haircut twice in the same day... do healthy stuff you can now do without having to hear someone else complain.

    There are these things called time zones. And regardless, even if he posted it at 5:23 doesn't mean he could sleep at 3.

    33 is not even old. 65 is old :p

    Anyway, it's good that you haven't gotten married yet because that means you're not settling for just anyone.

    OMG. :rolleyes: I was kiddin' dude... damn, you're sour... he said "It's 3am and i can't seem to sleep"... "It's" means NOW, not two hours ago; he didn't say "at 3am I couldn't sleep and I am posting now"... and besides, he's asleep now. :p

    Anyway, kyakko, what time zone are you in? :eek:

    You shouldn't be afraid to be alone at 33, man. That's way too young to be worried about it. You can be actively trying to do something about it (like finding a potential wife) but you shouldn't sweat it if it doesn't happen right away. That's when you end up settling for someone who isn't worthy of you. Just relax and let it happen.

    I didn't find "the one" until I was 37. You have plenty of time.

    You'll get through this and another will come along. She'll be better than the one you had and she'll want to do things to you that you only imagined in the movies.

    Lighten up, Francis!

    You're talking to CFans.Net's premiere elderly never-been-married bachelor.
    My longest relationship has also been 2 years...and I'm 47.

    "The last train is leaving the station"? Well, maybe so. But I can say from personal experience, that once you hit 40, you all of a sudden have many different "travel options" that you never knew existed. Women past 40, those who have never been married or those who are divorced, with kids or not, are really only looking for one thing....and it is my duty and honor to give it to them! :D

    Life is short...enjoy it while you can!

    I've found that it is easier for me to get sleep, when there is a woman next to me. I'm just getting out of a relationship myself =/

    I wish that the capitalist law of diminishing returns could be true for break ups. It sucks that every break up has the potential of demoralizing you just as much, or sometimes even more, than the previous break up.



    " Just another heart in need of rescue
    waiting on love's sweet charity
    an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
    'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

    Here I go again on my own
    goin' down the only road I've ever known.
    Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
    An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time"

    Now that's optimism. Guess I have something else to look forward to when I get older.

    kyakko, I am only 2 days younger than you, brother, and I didn't enjoy life as much as you can now. Do it.
