Is it a shame to be almost 28 and single?

[a_lifters_life]

This stems from my prior post... when I break it off - is it shameful to be 28 and single? Where does a 28 year old man, who doesn't get off to pounding beers, supposed to find a woman?

 

I've been in a rel, with one woman, for 8+ years now...and feel really out of the loop

 

thanks.

28 is very young, Lifter. So is 38 by the way. What's the big rush?!! Besides what is "shameful" about it. In what kind of environment do you live ?

 

"finding a woman" is not quite like going on a hunting trip where you bring them down with a left and a right.

 

Take it easy. Any kind of desperation is off-putting and people can spot it at a thousand yards....

Are you breaking off the engagement? 28 is your peak, it's easy finding women. Try online dating apps, groups, local courses, events, clubs etc.. Think outside of the box to shake things up such as taking dancing or cooking lessons,etc.

 

Agree...don't stick with this woman if it's just for complacency and dreading getting out there again.

28 is so young.

 

Wow, you've been with this woman since you were 20? You were just a youngster then and still are.

 

28 is prime time, man. You will meet SO many women!

You are engaged. Asking this question when you are still in a relationship makes you sound like a douche bag. Sorry.

 

Break up with the girl because the relationship is bad. Don't stay because you fear being alone.

 

Ugh. People.

I got married at 40. Chillax

Why would it be shameful? Lots of people are 28 and single. The shameful thing is you are still engaged and talking about being single. End it already if you haven't. It's disgusting.

[and so it goes]

Choose to be single for a while. While there is no shame in being single, there is definitely none in CHOOSING to be single. Controlling your own life by say "for the next while I intend to be single". Not only is that some kind of weird aphrodisiac for some women , it put you solidly in the drivers seat - not society, not what you think society says, not your parents, not your buddies, not that hot girl who has a b/f already. YOU. You are driving the car.

 

Now that's power.
