I think so but don't think it's always the same red flag.
Could be that he is very picky, could be that he has some serious mental issues, has committment issues, decision issues (afraid to make the wrong decision so he doesn't make any decision)... he has a lot of baggage... expectations that can never be met by any human.
Or, best case scenario, he is a great guy who wanted to wait until a certain age and really hasn't found the person who puts the thump into his heart.
More important is whether he's had any long term (6 or more months) relationships. If the answer to that is no, I'd run.

I don't know why it would be a "red flag". The age someone is and not married is hardly something to be considered. For some people, marriage is not the way to go. I don't know why you would look down on someone who is a certain age and isn't married. If you want to date someone that age, isn't that a GOOD thing not to be married?
You can choose to date anyone no matter how they live or what they do or how old they are. You can decide after you are dating if you are willing to put up with all the baggage that might come along with thier chosen lifestyle.

"red flag" for what?
It doesn't mean he's a bad person.
He could be afraid of commitment.
He could like men instead of women.
He could have made his career his #1 priority.
He could have been taking lots of grad school or getting his PhD and not had money to be married.
He could have had some devastating financial reverses, and couldn't support a family before.
He could just not *want* to be married.
And a million other things.
Not everyone fits into some particular "mold" for how life is supposed to be lived. We all go our own path. What are you worried that this guy being single is warning about? And why don't you just ASK him if it matters to him?

No not really today most men are so consumed with their careers that they are marrying later in life. My best friend just got married to a man in his mid 30's and he's never been married before.

It may not be a red flag, but the bigger issue may be if he hasn't had any longterm relationships. Some people (men and women) don't want to fail so they don't try. In my experiences there are issues that makes sense as why they haven't been married, but that doesn't mean that it is the "norm".

I don't think that is necessarily true. To me what's more of a red flag is if he's in his late 30's and never been in a long term (meaning longer than one year) relationship.

Not at all. My brother had never planned on getting married. When he was 35 he met my sister in law and they got married a year after dating. They've been married 7 years now.

no...just means he's probably got some common sense and realized that married life isn't for him..if he had been married and has a grown daughter..well..at least he got married 1 time and realized it wasn't for him..

Heck no, I'd call him smart. There are too many fish in the sea to be tied down to only one. Besides, I don't like honey do's.
