What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?

Help me to research my next book on singles! What kinds of places are best to meet other singles? Is a change of attitude the solution to finding a partner? What are some tips for reducing commitment phobia from prospective partners? How did you overcome your single status?What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?
Think outside the square! You may have an image of someone that you think is just right for you, but if you open yourself up to more people, you may just be surprised how happy you can be. I married a man completely different to my 'wish-list' guy - we have very little in common but we compliment each other and things never get boring. Changing what you are looking for does not mean settling for less, it means opening your eyes to a wider range of possibilities.





I met someone at work, but if you are looking for someone caring and nurturing, volunteer somewhere; if you want someone who shares your politics, join an action group; if you want someone who cares for the earth, join a community garden project; if you want someone sporty, join a sport club.





Don't go into a relationship with an image of how you want things to look - that is way too much pressure - enjoy the person for who they are and the relationship (in whatever form it is supposed to take) will follow. Plus, because you are not trying to get someone to be a certain way and you are just having fun, you naturally are going to be more attractive, to them and yourself.What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?
Well....I don't have commitment phobia, but I do have marriage phobia....so I have no wish to ';overcome'; my single status....I want to stay single, as a middle-aged, divorced woman with two grown children, AND I want to have a committed relationship with a man around my age. The man I'm with seems to be that man....
I would say and quit looking and it will come. Also, find a hobby--something out there you are passionate about to take your mind off of relationships. There is more to life than dating.
well first u need to discover urself then go out more with ur other friends who r single or go out to clubs alone n dress really sexy get a make over n dont look the same all the time


make sure u have a different look for every occasion .
For me, I meet people at work, networking through friends (get the word out that you're available!), or at some community events, concerts, parks, etc. As a woman, church is not a good option since the majority of the congregations seem to be older women.


I also think we do need an attitude adjustment. Good men are hard to find at any age. But as we get older, there are fewer of them to go around since their life expectancy is less. I often get asked out by people young enough to be my son. I am healthy, look young, feel young and act young. Plus men can be mature at 25 and immature at 60. So why am I hesitant? We need to think outside the box and ralize that society is starting to appreciate older women now. Remeber - 60 is the new 40.
try web sites like friends reunited dating or match.com or others like those. they are cool and as well as meeting prospective partners you can make some good friends. I met may partner this way and so did a friend of mine who has since married her bloke. good luck
You need to go out ---more ---painful as this can be--- bite the bullet but do things that you enjoy ---no point in getting bored ----remember life is too short and being 30 plus does not last long. Always be very polite to people around you and to casual acquaintances ---there are rules on social etiquette good rules--- its about being kinder and just more loving and caring---look after yourself re nutritious food and being fit--- body image is important and you will have more energy. Put more effort in to your work (employment). More than is required. Partake in activities that are exciting. With a lot of energy and such excitement who could resist you!!! if things are still dull shopping therapy is good and just so much fun.Give away the things you have you need refreshing, a new exciting you not at all dull colourless and boring
i'm not over 30 but i have family members in this situation. if you've joined clubs, travelled the world, moved, made a new set of friend, go out to different places, changed jobs and you still can't find them then try the internet.
Take a risk and ask. It takes courage to put yourself up on the chopping block, but just do it anyway.
TO SPICE UP THEIR LIFE, FIND NEW THINGS, FREEKY THINGS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
Trust me on this one, all you need to do is go out with some friends and find the guys that are with their friends. Don't try any type of internet thing where they match you up with a random guy in your area. Another good idea is to ask one f your friends to set you up on a blind date. thats always fun and maybe your even meet your dream guy. hopefully this advice works!
yes as many here have said, join to a club or a physical activity, swimming, team sports are the best...





or start a class, drawing, sculpture, tango ufff!! even cooking you would be amazed of the treasures you can find in these can a places.





Good luck!
I don't give advice.
Been in drought since 98 can you help me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze
Sorry. I'm trying to get over my 50 year old drought.


Good luck with your book. I'll buy it for my daughter.
Whatever you decide to do, follow your heart and listen to God speaking. This is how I allowed myself to fall in love again. I let go of the fear and found a wonderful friend, lover and, finally, husband. It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been totally open to the voice in my heart, my conscious, my guide.
Start doing activities that help other folks like community activities, stuff with church or helping the poor, meals on wheels. You will find a great person by doing these things and it will give you a great feeling knowing you helped needy people.
well my husband met in a way that normal people don't met we meet one another I was walking with a friend girl of mine I was walking her home one evening and he was at his girl friends house at the time washing his car and he spoke to us and we spoke back and by the way I was pregnant with my son, but I could tell by the glear in his eyes that he was looking at me in the way he shouldn't have been I never say this man again until about eight months after I had my baby he had to make me remember the first time we saw each other we were at a night club he took me home and wanted to kiss me ,but I told him no not on my lips,but he could kiss my cheek and he walked me to my door and we saw each other again about a year later and we exchanged numbers and started dating and we got married two years later and we are working on 20 years of marriage this July.
get out do something
The advice that I would give them is that you should tell them that you know that there is someone in the world that is just right for you go out there and find your one true love.
ummm
Just go get out there, go to every party, every outing, if your not out there you cant meet anyone!!! try new clothes change a hairstlye, so many thing you could do, its finding the confidence to do theses things that are hard, but you would be surpirsed that if you did meet someone your confidence would sore, and your life will take a huge turn for the better!





so try change one thing about either your hair or clothes or go to a party you normally would not go to!!! it just might work.....
One great place to meet men is the grocery store or laundry matt, believe it or not. Attached men would never go there. single men hate gorocery shopping and hate doing laundry so if they are there chances are they are single. The change in attitude is knowing that yes it will happen but not when I want it too when fate says it will. So I stopped looking for a partner and just lived my life the way I always did. Then on the internet I met a friend and we have been friends for 2 months and then he started to really like me, we will meet soon and we just enjoy each others humour and laugh a lot, keep it lite and before you know it, you got him or her. Life is too short to be unhappy, live and laugh and then if it shows up love like life will be over tomorrow. Love answering these questions. Take care and good luck with your book Heather

I wish I could answer your question. I'm 52 and I've been on a drought run for 5 years. The older you get the more you realize the good ones are gone. That sucks, because I like sex just like everyone else does.
Grocery store and hardware stores. Single events, and places where most singles go to have fun and hang out.
find a guy or girl who is living in sub-continent he will surely give you a chance for prospective partnership.People are very loyal and mostly honest there
A Church Singles group with two leaders: A husband and wife that can be a great example of what it takes to be in a relationship without the commitment phobia.
i believe you have to get out there and feel good before you find someone special you can find nice guys anywere guys knowwhen you are feeling good and positive about yourself thats when they want to appraoch you more.
Go to the closest bar and get hammered. You are sure to find someone drunk enough to take home with you....even if you're butt ugly.
