We look in the mirror and see what nobody else sees. And if that isn't enough to send us into apoplectic fits, we constantly compare ourselves with unrealistic images we see on television.
'This too shall pass' is a great phrase, if you put it to use. Go out and do something for others. You may be surprised that not only will you feel better about yourself, you may find your partner there waiting for you!

Petal, I feel the same way. I will be 39 in Feb. (On Valentine's day no less). I have never been married or even came close. I have not exactly given up, but have tried to come to terms with the fact that I will probably be alone. Not in a Oh poor me way but a practical take care of business way. I bought a house, put away for retirement and all that.
Admittedly my last relationship was not healthy emotionally and was over about 5 years ago, and I was extremely wrapped up in caring for my mom for the past 3 years so was not really looking or ready. Now, if it comes, great, if not that's Ok too. I have too many single 30+ girlfriends who still live in "When I Get Married" Land. They are sitting on a shelf and waiting their lives away. I really can't stand when they and married women tell me I am fooling myself that I can be content alone.
I do get in the dumps sometimes about it, but not like I used to when I was younger, life's too short. Tomorrow is another day. Hang in there. (((((hug))))
