I am 28 and have never gotten married. I dont even have a boyfriend yet. I worry that I will get married to late and then miss the chance of having kids.
When will I find the one. Did I miss the boat?

Relax !!! First of all you have not missed any boats. Secondly, getting married at a young age is not the best idea for everyone. Most young adults these days get married because that's what they think is the Right thing to do or they think they are in love. Only to find out a few years later that it wasn't right and they are not in love as they previously thought and it ends in divorce. I speak from experience, I got married a few months after turning 18. Was divorced before my 24th birthday. I am now 27 and am engaged to a wonderful man. Not to mention I am now matured and have a little life experience behind me. I can say this time that I am truly in love. I could not picture my life without him beside me. My advice to you is to enjoy life day by day. You will find that special someone in time. Don't worry about being to old for kids or how old you are when you marry. That will only cause unnecessary stress. Live Love and laugh often.

People are to often worried about missing "the boat".
Somethings often take time and can not be rushed, like love,
yet people want to rush them.
Just ask yourself would you rather catch a boat or a cruse liner.
When you meet the right person you will know and everything will click for you but please don't worry because when people worry they often rush.
Just be yourself and be happy.
Have you ever been waiting on someone to pick you up from somewhere and they are very late getting there?
You might begin to feel like they are never coming, you get worried and scared that you got left and that you may not have a way home or whatnot.
If so
Do you remember how all of that anxiety went away when they got there all of the scenarios and problems leave you as soon as you see their car pull in and you never give it a second thought.
Mainly because all of those worries have been lifted off of your shoulders and you realize that you have been worrying about nothing.
I hope that this may be the same way for you.
You will meet the right person and all of your concerns will dissipate.
Good luck

It is advisable to have a baby before a girl attains 30 years. But there are many women who have had a comfortable delivery after 30. It is OK for a girl to remain unmarried at 28. There will be many boys of your age or even higher who are unmarried. Why don't you get in touch with a marriage bureau or look for an alliance through a friend or relation. Also watch your local newspapers which may carry such advts. All the best.

I know it is improper to answer a question with a question, but what gives you the idea that 28 and single is a bad thing?
I applaude you for waiting in a time when a lot of people rush and find out that they made a mistake, by not allowing themselves to accomplish goals.
As to the age of child bearing, that issue is widely debated.
There are reports of women having children at the age of 60 plus (not that you want to wait that long)> My point is that you still have time. Who knows, this time next year you may be married.
Lastly, you did not miss the boat.

28 and still single is just fine!! I have a niece that is 35, single, living life to the fullest, and has never been married. And no, she's not a dog!
There's nothing wrong in waiting for marriage! You haven't missed any boat, you'll find "the one" just take your time. It is so very true that when you're not looking, that's when you bump into "the one"! Enjoy life!!

I say, Congratulations to you! One reason for so much divorce is the young age kids get married. You haven't missed the boat by any means, and life will be good for you. Wait until you meet the right guy...he's out there!

I don't think theirs anything wrong with you not getting married or not having a boyfriend right now. MY aunt got a boyfriend when she was 30, she is now 32, and expecting a baby girl. I dont think you should rush into things, just chill when the time is right you will find your perfect match. If u rush you might think you found the perfect match and end up having to through a bad mariage leading to a divorce.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

You have not missed any boat. You are just a late bloomer.
It's not unusual to not be married at that age.
It is a little late to have never had a relationship.
