How sad is it to be 29 years old and never been in love?

not as sad as being 33 and having been in love once...got your heart broke in so many pieces, only to feel you cant pick up the pieces anymore.  and you give up on love...it was only a dream, a beautiful dream that I couldnt be a part of.\n\nso honey, dont settle, coz perhaps like me, you'll only get one chance, so make it worth it.

I have been there...not exactly in the same circumstances but at 19 My relationship finished and i know the pain you are going through, i really do..it hurts so so much and you feel that there is nothing left for you...i am now ten years older and since my split up with that boyfriend, when i was 19, i have done so much with my life..much more than i would ever have done if i had stayed with him...i have more friends now...have had lots more boyfriend...have had an excellent time... going on girly holidays...travelling...meeting new people...i sometimes wish i could go back in time and tell my 19 year old self how wonderful my life was going to be...I can't do that but i can guarentee that your life will get better and better... you will get to know yourself better, you'll do different things, you'll get excited when you have a crush on some one new...believe me, it will happen i never thought it would when we first split up but i then went on to fancying someone different nearly every month...it was great fun. I am all settled down living with a boyfriend now, all grown up..but i look back on that time and smile..it was great...it will be hard for you but look to the future...don't let him string you along... get yourself dressed and go out with some friends...be with people you like. Life is great, you can make it great with out him. Hope this helps xxx

Yes, it can happen, but don't expect it to last. Everyone's growing and changing at that age and unless you're very lucky, you'll grow apart from each other rather than together.\n\nAs for what it's like - more intense than anything you'll ever experience again, so if you do fall in love, cherish it! Love when you're older is just as good, if not better, but it's never quite the same.

I've never been in a relation either and I'm 19. And I don't date, I'm not looking for love but rather letting love find me. As of yet no such luck, you just can't rush these things. Being patient is the key. For every man there is a woman and vice versa.

Im 29yrs old and speaking as someone older i have this advice for you. Leave age out of it. Your older than legal age so it is not of concern. How do YOU feel about him? Really. if you love him, see where it leads. make sure he treats you right!! I had a friend who was 19 at the time and married a guy 29. they just had there first child - still very much in love. it depends on the situation. one step at a time. see where it leads and make sure he treats you right.

I was 14. But I'm pretty sure that was "puppy love". I still had the time of my life falling in love and it still hurt worse than anything when it ended. I learned what true love was at 21. And it took me until 23 to understand love.

Yes, I have some regrets in my life. If I could live it over, I would never marry a woman that didn't love me. I did, however, and am now 55 years old, and have never known the joy of being loved by  a woman. I loved her, and was in love with her, just never had that love reciprocated. What a shame, and a waste! That is my BIGGEST regret!

Because that is what life is all about. Someone being there, beside you when most of the world doesn't consider you worth sitting next to. Someone who will look at you, and won't see a wizened, old, toothless old man..instead they'll see you at twenty-five. And under their fingers you'll feel like twenty-five because you and he  together make something more vibrant than you'd ever be apart. Someone to touch you, hold you and love you when the world wants nothing more than to deny your existence. \nWhen you can't recall anymore the little details, the two of you can pool your memories and everything will stay vivid. The love making The pain It's the time you will have shared that will prop you up against each other when your bodies want to lay down and decay. You will protect each other and keep each other young.

No I don't think it's bad at all. There are tons of people who date people more than 1 year old than them. My parents are examples, my dad is 54 and my mom is 49. A lot of people like older people because they seem more mature and serious about things.

you can think your in love when you are 13.  But that is puppy love. You can think you are in love at 18. But that is just anxieties.  You can think you are in love  at 21, but that is just overactive sex drive.  You can think you are in love at 30, but that is  a desire to get married before you become an old maid. You can think you are in love at the age of 80, and well, if you married  at the age of 18, and still together when you are 80, then, ... you are in love.

This is sad. Okay, when I was 17 I fell in love really hard. He was 18 and after only 3 months ... we ran off and moved into together. We worked really hard, had lots of bills and after 2 years together, we had a baby. Later we got married and it was good. Unfortunately the guy I fell in love with got messed up with drugs and alcohol. \n\nI really loved him and after our divorce, I didn't think I'd find anyone else. After a string of broken relationships, not to mention my broken heart I finally found someone else.\n\nWe've been married for 3 yrs. now, together for 5 this July and I love him beyond imagination. It took a long time but it did happen. You know how people say that you'll find love when you least expect it? That's what happened to me, I was almost ready to give up!

I can't believe all the bullkaka I am reading here.\n\nSo a man can be 20 yrs older but not a woman?  Get serious people and start realizing that life is not always about your young tight a$$.  There is much more out there than most of you will ever experience, especially with an attitude like I see from some of you.  LOL

You won't unless you ask him.  You wouldn't want to be asking the same question in 30 years.  Believe when I tell you, it could go on for 30 years, I've been there.  Always to afraid to ask because I'm afraid he will say something I don't want to hear.  It's crazy.  Although, on my 30th birthday I had this big bash and he came alone because he knew that's what I wanted.  I got really wasted (it was birthday) and I got really bold and after 18 years (I met him when I was 11) I asked him had he been in love with me (past tense).  His response, suprisingly, was yes.  I asked why he never told me and he said because I thought you knew.  Long story short, I was engaged, he was engaged so we let it go.  We are still holding on the this "Friendship" maybe one day we'll get it right.  We keep looking back and not shutting the door.  I know after all this time, we need to stop coming in and out of each other's lives, but the lie we tell is "we're just friends"...\n\nDon't let this be you.  Find out now and if he doesn't feel the same way, you can go on with your life now and not look back.  \n\nI hope this helps.

No.When I was in my late teens I was suicidal all the time,and deeply depressed.I had no family at all in this world.I felt I had nothing to live for and no focus in my life.I always lacked affection.At one point totally starved of affection I felt if someone gave me a hug I would break down completely.I had my children at 21 and 22.They give me all the love and affection I need and more.

Well, I'm 26 and I have a crush on my professor 60! If it's bad for your, then it must be too bad for me, isn't it? :) Sometimes we can not explain why we are attracted by someone. Sometimes I thought that I'm crazy to fall in love with such an old man who worths to be my grandpa! But, i don't know. I can not stop. I do not know it's the right love or not but cannt keep my eyes off him. What I am trying to do now is to be close with him and find out whether we have something in common or not. Is there really a happy "future"? It may be just a first impression! There must be a lot of difference existing that require us to stand back and think! Calm down and take your time. I'm falling in love but still keep myself concious enough to identify the standard moral.\nAnyway, your case can be acceptable. The age gap is not that big.

32 is not old, you're just in a slump girl, we all get to feeling a little bad sometimes and take it out on ourselves via age or looks or weight etc..  32 is in no way old and you are doing just great!  keep your chin up and eyes bright, things will get better for you and you will once again realise how young you are!  Stop looking for that special guy and you'll be surprised just how fast he shows up.  Did enjoy the "spinster" part though, <thump you on head>  quit being so tough on you will ya please?  LOL  Life doesn't even start until 50 or so they tell me, am surely hoping they are right too.
