That's right, becuase we're cool! No, wait, actually, we're hot. It's a great state, but perhaps we should hold of on "TP 101" until the weather cools down to less than triple digit.
In the meantime, I will be starting an internet course soon, titled "The Art of Not Getting Caught", an essential prerequisite to the "TP 101" or any other course following.
Wait, that's a violation of TOS...making advertisements. Ehhh, umm....back to the regularly scheduled thread! Be 30 ya'll! Be something! Be single! and be proudly encouraged!

Thread? Oh, yes.. the 30's rock!
Yeah, turning 30, I realized, it's still me. I am still me. I am not like anyone else that I saw turning 30 before me! :)

You're so right...I have an aunt who is only 7 years older, and I remember noticing the wrinkles on her for the first time, and I panicked. But then I realized that we may be related but we age differently. For example, for me wrinkles are not a prob yet, but I have lovely premature gray hairs-- easily solved by Miss Clairol, of course!
The one thing that irks me more than anything about being single are the questions from the family. My parents are slowly starting to understand that I do have a happy life, but yesterday some family friends (whom I had not talked to in years) have me the full enchilada probe on when I'm getting married and having kids! Ugh! Leave me alone, people!

ORIGINAL: cherish405
I'm 37, never been on a date, let alone had a relationship. I really want to be married though. I used to think that God wanted me single, but I think it was more that fact that I had issues with men and was denying it. Can't have kids and I don't fit the criteria for adoption, but that's ok. Like agapemami, I don't feel like there's anybody out there for me, but God can feel free to prove me wrong on that one.
quote:
It'd good to hear people admit why they pushed things off. I had to get my heart broken, and now, to keep it that way for me to realize that I was pushing women off.
I will tell you, I have thought that if I met a woman who could not have kids would it bother me? Nope! Like I just posted, I don't get married for the kids, but to bring glory to God and to enjoy my life with her. Be encouraged that there's at least one guy who doesn't care about the kids issue.
Thanks Sc1t0r.

Hey! If some of you 30-somethings come through here and don't tell me you're passing through, I'll be deeply hurt. I never travel because I haven't had a break from school (even summers) in two or three years. I'm always here. :(
Then when I figure out you hid the fact, I'll be highly upset. :)

Well, that does give one a good reason to go to Alabama! So...how far is B'ham from Huntsville? It's been a while since I went to the Space 'n' Rocket Center (er...whatever it's called).
Y'all gotta get up here to Nashvegas at some point. I hear it's pretty good for a vacation. I wouldn't know.  I've lived here so long...it's just home. And a great home at that! Our tourist destinations are increasing...and not the cheesy type of destinations...I mean the really good ones...art galleries, museums, historic sites, parks, recreation, festivals, all sorts of music (not just country), sports. If you're a Civil War buff, we have plenty to interest you. And who else has a replica of the Parthenon?
Back to the original topic... I loved turning 30. I like maturing...'cept when I'm not maturing. If. that. makes. any. sense. at. all. I think 40 is gonna be the scary one. Don't know why.
Do you ever marvel that you are actually alive...that you are a real person...and that you are going to die some day? It's just weird.... it's that self-awareness, I guess, that artificial intelligence is currently missing in order to be human (and I hope it will never achieve self-awareness).
Sharon, don't fret, my pet! It doesn't have to be horrible. Make the day fun. Celebrate all month if you like. It's a milestone, a signpost in your life journey and spiritual journey with Christ, and an accomplishment---look at all that you have done. And life isn't over! AND as you age, you have the opportunity to grow wiser. What's not to like? (OK, grey hairs and wrinkles aren't always great...but there is a beauty in every age and stage of life.)
cherish405: Let God illuminate your special, unique brand of femininity! As you abandon the fears, your true self in Christ will shine!! Trust that God can lead you and a wonderful man together. And don't settle for less! He should be a man whose specialness you recognize and appreciate, and he should be able to recognize and appreciate your specialness. If you cannot appreciate each other, then you will not be able to joyfully together reflect the relationship between Christ and the church. And in my mind, that's the high calling of marriage...a gift and a privilege and a responsibility. So...don't be down on yourself! Just think of all the "firsts" that your man will be able to claim---and there are many godly men out there who are hoping upon hope that there are women even at late 30s or whatever "older" age who are still virgins...even in the sense that they've not dated. Trust God to provide the man who will cherish you ably and gently. And as you continue to live life and to grow as a child of God, as a person, and as a woman, believe that you are a flower whose beauty is increasing!!
jskprtina: Yeah, wrinkles are just character lines! Ya know...I'd rather look my age than look stretched out and like plastic. I want to be smiling and radiant, no matter my age. Just add the Holy Spirit and some moisturizer!
TPing a house (I'd want to do it to a friend who would have a good sense of humor about it...not to someone who would take it as an affront) sounds like fun. I think my contribution would be tacky lawn ornaments! Flamingo or garden gnome, anyone?
To all: Hmm... yes, I think going into one's first relationship in one's 30s rather than earlier, can be a good thing...if one has much wisdom and sense about one. But if one acts unwisely, immaturely, and naively in making relationship decisions, age doesn't matter. We hope that we have gained tools by now that will help us much more than when we were teens or 20-somethings, but as Jane Eyre points out to Mr. Rochester---the advantage of age and experience is not in mere quantity, but in quality...how one has made use of the years...and makes use of them now.
Since I dated before now, I have those lessons to take with me, plus I have the lessons and counsel provided by others and their relationship experiences. I pray I heed God and godly counselors and wisdom and not merely infatuation, whenever the next time comes around!!

Elena - turning 40 was the best thing to ever happen to me, and I loved turning 30! Trust me, we do get better with age!

Solo, maybe we should start our own thread for 20 Somethings....although I am in the last days of my 20's. I am 28 and a little leary of turning 30. What's it like? joke.

Trust me, I'd have no problem meeting anyone from these boards. I would most assuredly NOT hide it from you, solo. :)

I am 33. My life has not gone at all the way I plan it. It is a comforting thought that my life has gone as my Father in heaven has planned it. In that I will be satisfied.
