Hello guys, what can you say with this situation on staying single. A friend of mine, remains single until now, she's already 43 years old. Well, I don't think so if she still have a chance to get married. We may say that staying single is good, but are you aware that there lots of single especially women suffers from different diseases? Like myoma, breast cancer and etc. Do you think it's still nice to be single?

Well its not late to get married, as long as she finds someone the right age. Its easy to say that you want to be single, but there comes a time in life when friends and family will move away and its at this time that you have your partner who will be beside you. Staying single i would not recommend to anyone, why grow old alone, be with someone special.

Staying single is unbearable, but why she is single till now, why she didn't get married? any reasons? My aunt also didn't get married till now, she is some 35yr or so, ofcourse she has a cardiac problem and can't get married, but wat about your friend? I know how much difficult it is to stay lonely as i'm facing the same problem with my aunt.

I think if your friend is happy then thats all that counts.

However I would not like to be a lady who grows old alone. I would like to think that my husband and I will grow old and grumpy together.

I guess, she's happy now but I don't know more inside her feelings. Of course, she got boyfriend before, however, she didn't share anything about him. Do you think something good or bad happen to their relation? I don't actually know reasons why she didn't married.
Do you think women of this age could still find man to marry them? I mean, we know the fact that men are looking for someone who is younger than them or the same as their age.

I suppose that all depends on the person. Not every person wants to be married. Did she say that she wanted to get married? At her age, she should focus on doing what makes her happy in life.

To stay single would be fine. Have you set a blind date for her? I think it is not yet too late. Every woman wishes to get marry. In time, when she finds the right guy, that could be her happiest moment.

At that age I suggest to stay single. I'm not saying that she should give up on looking for a someone special but she managed to get that far without any bf. My 3 aunts are still single even if they're about to reach 50. They don't care about that since they have all their time spending with us.

Not every woman wants to get married! It's different for different people. People get married at different ages all the time, so it's not like people reach an age where it's too late for marriage.

Getting married or staying single is our choice to make.

Being single does not always translate to being lonely. I am 34 and single and honestly I don't mind being single. I do what I want to do when I want to do it. I don't need to worry about having to share my space and my life with another person. Sure sometimes it would be nice to have someone to share a meal with. But if its my only reason to get married, I still won't marry. Because being happy is a choice we need to make on a daily basis anyway, whether we are single or married.

Well for me, there could be no problem when one stays single at 43 years old. However, there could be a possibility that she would still get marry. We cannot tell. When she was young, was she quite picky when it comes to man?

I perfectly agree with your post, missywithy. Well, I have my aunt who is 37 years old now and still single. Sometimes she shared her experiences and dreams. Of course, she still have that plan to get married. However, nobody is courting her. Do you think at her age its possible for her to get married and have a baby?

I don't think so. I Think it is very lonely to be single forever. Mayde now she is still enjoying being single but ten years after she will think and noticed that there is an empty space in her life.

I think this might be her reasons too. Have it ever crossed your mind to raise your own family and have a children? My friend doesn't like the thought of it. Maybe she still enjoys being single.

Yeah at this point maybe your friend is enjoying her freedom as a single. Maybe she'll think about it when she met that guy destined for her.

As long as she is happy, that is all that counts.

My sister didn't get married until she was 40 and her husband was 50.

If your friend finds the right guy and she wants to be married, she will. Don't judge her because she is still single.

I also haven't heard that you have a higher chance of getting these diseases because you are single. I would think that if you are in a stressful marriage your chances of getting any disease would be higher.

I don't know if that diabetes thing is true. If it's got anything to do with eating habits, people tend to eat more once they're married, right? Getting married later or staying single is fine. Being single doesn't mean not dating. You can always date online or go to another country if that's feasible for you.

That diseases are just common. For me, it doesn't matter if you're single or married. If God will going to give you that disease then of course, you can't do nothing but accept it. Why don't you just give extra care of yourself at an early age?

People who want to date, but aren't married usually try to keep up their appearances more. It's after people get married that they sometimes like to let themselves go because they don't have to impress their spouse anymore.

I don't think she was quite picky. I hope she could still marry at her age. What could be the possible things I can do to help her? Should I set a blind date or online dating instead? What do you think?

You got a good idea, bethoven. Set a blind date for your aunt. Of course, what if you'll ask her first what is her guy type? So that you could be ready for the right man for her.
