My Love Story in My 30s: How Age Has Changed My Views

[Silicon Waffle]

Would you mind if I ask how old you are ?
I am in my 30s, have fallen in love once when I was in my early 20s. After the breakup, I don't want to fall in love again.

Don't restrict yourself to just one my friend, maybe I'm a softie but I've "been stricken" or "fallen in love" with at least 3 different girls that is to say I enjoyed their company enough to be in long-term relationships with them. 2 out of the 3 I still infrequently talk.. it's easy to get cynical after someone breaks your heart but she probably feels the same way.. just depends if it was mutual or if she dumped you, etc.

Oh yes and I'm in my mid 20s.. love is a tough game for sure but to make it work IMHO it's all about compromise. First "true love" I'd say was when I was 17, although I've had a few crushes/flirtations/etc since about 12.

LOL I'm 66. I am married for the third and final time. I remember the name of each of my lovers over the years.

My mother taught that the pain is the scars forming that will protect you in later years.

25, only loved one person besides my Dog. The rest I met at bars.

57, male, married for almost 30 years, would marry her again if I could go back in time.

I am sure there are many out there that are nearly your perfect match, be it a friend or a life partner. I spent a lot of time alone and was not unhappy. Be well!

51. Been in love several times. In my experience, the older you get, the more amazing love gets. I advise you to not give up on it, Silicon Waffle!

 

[Enigman]

Two time two,
Five times over,
Now take away one ,
That many years have I done,
Though none as a lover.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

So you are still a 44 year old virgin. .
I'm not giving up on love.

 

[DaveC426913]

44? I got 19.

5x(2x2)-1 = 19

 

[Silicon Waffle]

44? I got 19.

5x(2x2)-1 = 19

2x2= 4
'4'.5 = 45
45-1=44
I thought so...OK I was wrong.

56 in July and feel like 66 hahaha

 

[Silver_rose]

I am 24 and the ways I have been bitten were not with love.

It's not for lack of trying though, I think it's lack of compatibility. Makes me sad sometimes but then I eat some ice cream or chocolate (or both!) and I get over it.

 

[audire]

Aw some of these responses :(

That's hilarious! lol.

 

[audire]

Just to clarify.. as a guy there's a huge difference between love and sex :P. I guess it comes down to quality over quantity?

If you are not counting your age in hexadecimal then you are either insufficiently old, or insufficiently geeky, or both.

Generally it's best to delay marriage until your mid or late teens - my wife and I met when she was bakerteen, married when she was easyteen and I was foxteen.

 

[DaveC426913]

my wife and I met when she was bakerteen, married when she was easyteen and I was foxteen.

You are old!

(Wouldn't you have met when you were bakerven?)

 

[Nugatory]

You are old!

Let's just say it's a good thing that the thirties last so long...

(Wouldn't you have met when you were bakerven?)

The way I learned to count, it's: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, able, baker, charley, dog, easy, fox, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, ableteen, bakerteen, charleyteen, dogteen, easyteen, foxteen, twenty, ...

 

[Bandersnatch]

Not so young, to love a woman for singing, nor
so old to dote on her for any thing: I have years
on my back twenty by hexadecimal count.(That's not true, actually. Singing is usually all it takes)

You are 100000 years old!
