I just wanted to hear from anyone over 30 or about to turn 30? Age is just a number, isn't it? so I'm slightly annoyed with myself that from feeling happy and positive, I've started to become panicky about turning 30 soon (?).
I'm single, was in a couple of serious relationships in my twenties which sadly didn't work out but recently feel this new sense of freedom to explore the world and try new things. All anyone keeps asking me though is when I'm going to get married and have children? This just adds to the anxiety
I just wanted to hear from anyone (especially the single women!) who feel the same or have been through this ??? ha, even if it is just to say shut the hell up!!! Thanks xx

It's unstoppable! Everybody, run for your life! :D
I'll turn 30 in a little less than 5 months. I can't say that I'm looking forward to it, as I have a few things to be anxious about myself (mostly feeling financially unstable), but I'm not dreading it either.
It is just a number. And it's not as old as it used to be. I try not to think about the fact that when my mother turned 30, she'd been married for 8 years and was about 7 months pregnant (with me). That's not at all who I am. I never could have gotten married that young, and while I'm in a committed relationship with a great man now, I'm not sure if I want to get married or ever have children. I STILL feel like I have some growing up to do at this point in my life.
So don't panic...Hang on to that happy, positive feeling!

Age ain't nothing but a number you're right. I'm 29 and I'll be 0 next year. When I was 12 I couldn't wait until I was 16 when I got 16 I couldn't wait until I was 18 then 21 then when I turned 21 my life took off All of a sudden I was 25 then 26, well you get the picture. now I'm 29 and I look back and am like when i was in high school, when I was in college and now look. I look at some of my deceased friends and think how they would love to be here at my age and I am so grateful. Thankful is more like it. I am truly thankful to be here so I don't worry about how old I get. With age comes wisdom.
Now off the speech. I don't look at 30 being the new 20's or 40 being the new anything. 30 is what is is and 40 is also what it is. Ain't no since in tyring to make it something that it is not. I am not married and have no kids. When people ask me when am I going to get married, if they aren't married themselves I give it back to them, I don't know what about you, when are YOU going to get married. If they are married I ask them, so I can be looking all tired and worried like you. I don't think so. That usually turns them away real quick. or I'll be a little more nicer and be like I'm not ready to be chained down. I'm enjoying my freedom. matter of fact, I've a hot date tonight. That usally makes the women turn away. Or if the person is a divorcee use anything. Oh when i find that special someone that will love me FOREVER. They usually get the picture. It used to bother me because I've always wanted to be married. I never wanted to be a old mother. Or an old wife. But at 29 I'm not getting any younger and there are not prospects in line so I'm enjoying myself. Not dating but when I get a date I'll be able to enjoy myself.
but boy gone and do your thang cause a lot of females like older men.

it's not that big of a deal. 30 doesn't feel much different than 29. i guess it helped that i had my twin sister (she's 15 minutes older lol) to share the experience with. and also that my girlfriend was turning 37 just a few days later. getting older doesn't have to be depressing. just take care of yourself and stay active. it's all about how you feel. sometimes it seems like my girlfriend is more youthful and playful than i am and probably looks better for her age than i do for mine.
this has probably been the best year of my life in alot of ways. my girl and i have gotten really close and i know she's the one for me. my relationship with my sister is as strong as ever. i have good friends i can have alot of fun with. so many people i can count on and i know are there for me. i've never enjoyed my life more or felt better about what the future holds for me.

I cried when it happened to me, but it was one of the best years of my life! I am much older now (add 25 or so) and every day gets better and better!
