I am 26 going on 27 and I have no prospects for marriage? If I am unmarried by 30 do my chances go down? How do I cope and be happy? My boyfriend just walked out on me and I cry everyday. Advice please?

I am sorry to hear about your boyfriend. Surround yourself with the other things in your life that make you happy - eg your friends. It will take time, but you will heal and be happy again.

In terms of your marriage question: you are still young and have plenty of time to find that special someone. If you are unmarried by 30 the same still applies. Average age for marriage these days is around 30, which means a whole lot of people get married later than that.

First of all, my gorgeous daughter didn't marry until she was 30. Her husband was 38. They both were of the mindset that if they took their time, they would find a lifetime partner; and divorce would not be an option. I now have the most precious and beautiful grand daughters, 3 and 6 months. You have plenty of time!
On the other hand, I was married for over 14 years. The best years of my life have been the 25 that I have not been married. Free to do what I want when I want without needing anyone's permission. Not cleaning up after a lazy man is a great option. I highly recommend it. As for the intimate aspects that marriage provides, non-marriage also provides that. As far as coping and being happy, you take this experience and this time to "complete yourself." Then, you will make a great partner in a future relationship. Work to be your very best.

You aren't the only person close to 30 who has no marriage prospects. You will cope. You need to spend time bettering yourself and focusing on other things. Do not become obsessed with marriage & if you aren't married by 30..After all you never know who will meet by then. People get married after 30..Love happens when it happens..

Sweetie, you will cope trust me. I also had "the Plan", by 30 I would be married, have a house, at least one kid, yada yada yada. Guess what it didn't happen and that's ok. Life cannot be scheduled, trust me I am an OCD freak who schedules everything but somethings are not that easy. I survived and I now live in the house I grew up in as a kid, I have a loving boyfriend who I have been with for over a year and I am loving my job and going back to school to get my Master's degree. Don't limit your life, live it instead, trust me, things will fall into place when the time is right. Dont' hate me for saying that, I hated it too when I was the ultimate single girl, but I am living proof. Have fun, enjoy being 27 and live every moment to the limit!

I am sorry that your last relationship did not work out. There are many many other guys/men out there.

Not everyone gets married before they turn 30. More and more people are getting serious later. They may be waiting for financial security, some for a chance to see the world, and some are just wanting to mature. Some people wait to get serious with someone who has the same goals, wishes, dreams, and ambitions.

Why settle just because of some out-dated and preconceived idea of becoming an "old maid," if you are not married by a certain age with 2.5 children following immediately. This is 2007.

And by the way, you won't turn gay, unless you are predisposed to be gay.

I wouldn't even worry about it. I'm 32 and have not had a serious relationship to date. Yes, I think I'd like to marry someday, but there's plenty of time. My parents were my age when they met. They've been together 34 years now. So, just because you have no prospects now does not mean you won't in the future.

You don't have to have a husband to be happy. Find something that drives you, that sparks your passion. Be it a hobby, a job, volunteer activity, taking classes, anything. Let that fuel your life. Live every moment of your life with passion. Don't take anything for granted as those little moments mean so much when you reflect back. It's your job to create the happiness in your life, not someone else's.

There's nothing wrong with not being married by 30. I married my current wife at 38 years old and have never been happier. Take a breather and focus on your career and your closest friends and being happy for a while. When the time is right, an opportunity will present itself to you. If you are happy with yourself and where you are in life, you will be much more attractive to the opposite sex. Confidence is sexy to people who aren't threatened by it. Keep your chin up and start smiling again and you will be surprised how people around you respond to you. Remember, smile..................

nothing will happen to you if you don't marry by thirty. As for your boyfriend walking out on you, I hope you werent with him just because you want to get married before thirty. Use this time to do some things for yourself. Life is short and sometimes marriage isn't all that it is cracked up to be either. Good luck

It will happen when it happens. Advice get over the dude that just did you wrong, then work on yourself(not saying anything is wrong with you) just get him out of your system and focus on making your life better. Basically focus on yourself and this guy will walk into your life when you least expect it. Good Luck
