( PS - i am in India ... people are usually married here ; there are some singles but not too many )

I am single .. does that seem weird ?
Sounds like you know what you want so no not weird. Good for you not getting married just cause everyone else is.....
Reply:I don't find it "weird" that you are single at 37. It seems to be the new trend with todays adults. You are trying to get your life in order and until then it sounds to me that you just don't have time for a serious relationship. At least you are honest with yourself and you aren't hurting anyone who would have been in a relationship with you because you just didn't have the time to give them.


There are many sites that you can go to and talk to people who are just like you. All you need to do is find it, usually by typing in what aspects your looking for.


You may find that you are just one of those guys who will be a bachelor all their life. It isn't a bad thing and shouldn't be looked at it from that prospective. Just keep focused on the issues that are making you happy. Sometimes it isn't a relationship that does it...it can be many other things too.
Reply:It is unusual but it is not weird. When the right lady comes along then you can consider marriage. In the meantime, relax and enjoy your life.
Reply:Not at all. But you shouldn't wait any longer if you want to be with someone. You need to talk to friends, co workers and so forth. During the 18-29 years I am sure people want to know what did you do? College, work, study, trip or nothing. When you find someone they would want to know.


I think your culture will understand but you need to be forthcoming and honest.
Reply:Not strange at all. Good for you for setting goals and doing what you can to attain them. If and when the woman comes along to change your mind about your comfort level with marriage, just continue to be honest with yourself and others, and enjoy yourself!
