well firstly thanks everyone who answered and encouraged me on the "is 33 too late to marry thread".

i asked the same question in another forum where someone asked me if i wanted to fall in love or just get married.

i am 28 going on 29 soon. never had a relationship of any kind. am not likely to have one anytime soon either. so i ask - "is 33 too late to find/fall in love for the first time" ???
I have faced it, A life wasted...

Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years

    If you know we supported you on the getting married part, I think that'll answer the love part. :p


    Remember, love is ageless.

    Wow, so you never had any kind of relationship? Well I think you can fall in love at any age. I'm 33 and I hope to fall in love again. If you don't mind me asking do you think you ever fell in love before?

    You can never be too old for Love! Try to love as many as people as possible... dont forget their is more to love than romantic love (which I consider the best) their is love of life, God, neighbors, friends, children, nature..... love is virtually endless.... create as much as you can! :)

    I fall in love every time a sexy female walks by and I'm already married. Hell, fall in love all you want.

    my answer from the other thread is the same if you change "getting married" to "finding love"


    in other words, it's not too late

    you need to get in there ... this day and age - it's about dating as much as possible to figure out what you want in a committed relationship (like marriage) ... people grow and people change - you have to first put yourself out there before finding someone to spend the rest of your life with ...

    but wtf do i know!?? ... i'm recently single ... :p

    i'm gonna answer this in a different way.

    you can hear people say, "yes you can fall in love. love is ageless..etc"

    but sometimes you think "but that doesnt mean it will happen with me"

    so my response to you can you fall in love at 33 is...

    "NO. absolutley not. riduculous. it is impossible to find love after 30. never happens. everyone over 30 who isnt in love and married and kids, will live a hopeless, loveless barren life. it is impossible for you to one day meet that person. impossible...."

    doesnt that whole statement scream out rediculousness?
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w

  • of coruse it isnt :)
    I will be what i could be

    It's not too late. I can't imagine how anyone could get to 33 never having fallen in love though.

    your nearly 29, but you're giving yourself till 33 to write yourself off :confused:

    i think you can fall in love at any age - im surprised you havent yet, but that doesnt mean you will never feel it

    and justjoshingu is right - love is ageless ... and, age is a state of mind

    just let go ....

    It just won't be as intense as it would be if you were, say, in your early 20's.

    The reason being is that the male brain isn't fully developed until age 25, and it is still largely governed by impulsiveness until that age.

    As you get older and learn to balance your emotions with responsibility, your brain most likely will not afford you the luxury of falling "completely" in love. That is, it will be love, but all the while you will be mindful of your day-to-day routine as an adult.

    Women, on the other hand, are the exception. It was discovered some years ago that when women have sexual intercourse, their bodies release a chemical into their brains that gives them the sensation of "trust." Men have no such chemical. I forgot what the name of the chemical was.

  • It's never too late to fall in love :)

    Whether you're 17 or 57 if you feel it in your heart, then you shouldn't shy away from it.

    I think a few people have already said it - Love is ageless :)

    not to be rude but with the attitude that you have of yourself i.e. "never had a relationship of any kind. am not likely to have one anytime soon" i will say that 33 is toolate but i will also say that 21 was too late for you. if you change that attidude than no 33 is not too late. i am 31 and i have love one person that didn't work out but i will also try to find that other person. that is what youhave to do. why do you think that you won't find someone.

    I was born disabled. I don't give a fuck, and neither should any woman worth bothering with.

    Dude, I feel for ya. I was born semi-good looking and that helped me into the sack more times than I probably am aware of. I've been called "cute" by so many women that it just makes you wonder if they are as concerned about appearances as are men.

    You remind me of my cousin. When he was young, he developed a tumor in his jaw. To remove the tumor, the doctors also had to remove a big piece of his jaw so that it looks like he has only one side of his face.

    He endured merciless teasing when he was growing up. Kids can be so cruel and heartless as you already know.

    But, he worked hard and stayed in school, later graduating from UCLA and now he's a registered nurse who works in the operating room.

    So, he makes decent money. On top of that he's just an all-around great guy who knows how lucky he is to have a girlfriend, and I guess that's why he has the one that he has right now.

    But, all I can say is that the sooner you get over your fears, the better. There is someone out there waiting for a guy like you to appear in her life. I don't think anyone on this board would argue with that.

    Age is irrelevant. Don't worry about being on a schedule. Live your life day to die how you want to live it. Being in love is a nice feeling, but there's nothing wrong with not being in love. It's just a state of mind.
