Im 36 y/o and Im not in a relationship and I truly wonder will I be able to find someone who really is after the same thing I am? After all the hurt and mental anguish that the majority of women have been through, will there be a chance for a man like myself to ever find someone willing to give a man a fair chance at finding true love without the reservations of past experiences?

Hi,

I am of the belief that once a person is truly able to effectively deal with the hurts of their past and are able to release the baggage from those hurts then it is possible to love again. One has to remember that the past does not have to dictate your future. There are many elements that must be present in finding and maintaining true love, and being able to love and be loved above and beyond past hurts. The most important of these elements is God and in order to find the fulfilling love that one is looking for you have to be in position, but that is another topic. So it is my opinion that yes it is possible to have true love even at the age of 36.

Well my brother I think that there are truly more eligible women out there for you than the other way around. The question you have to ask is are you ready for that next step? Most guys want a good woman who will be a great wife and mother, however we also want that chick on the side. We often want more than we need and are afraid to commit to one woman wholeheartedly. I too have had that issue in the past. So if you are ready for that good woman or shall I say that God woman, then open your heart and mind up to something that you wouldn't normally look for. Be sincere and honest and demand the same from them,and give them a chance because we as men have been hurt and lied to and damaged as well. Yes, to answer your question. I do believe that you can find real (not true) love because true love is a fantasy, real love is developed over time through trial and error, forgiveness and a determination to love unconditionally. Peace and good luck in your endeavor!

My brother, yes I do believe that you will be able to find true love. But first you must love god and yourself before you can truly love someone else. That does not only stand for you but that special person also. And when you find someone thats not giving that special person a fair chance, it's because he or she is still dealing whatever they went through. And truly haven't let the past go. Don't pressure him or her because time heals itself. Some it takes longer than others. But in the end true love you will find.

I found a great wife and mother. It took some getting used to, but it worked. I was 36 when it happened. I am living proof it can happen. I had to drop my preconceived notions about what a good woman was however, and I started looking without my eyes. As for many sisters not having any options, I believe that to be a lie from the bottom of my heart. I think the options you have are limited by how far you can see. God said that if need be he would turn stones into souls. There are always options for anyone in love, always options.

Hi Tyrone, the answer to your question is Yes. I do believe that u will find that true love. I am a single 35 yr old mom and I felt the same. I know that their is that special someone out there for me and i refuse to give up or settle for less. Yes I have been hurt,used and abused but it has only made me stronger as a person and also has taught me how i am NOT to be treated and that iam worth more. It has also taught me what love is not and that is DRAMA and HURT. I have learned to leave the past in the past and not let it dictate my future. I have learned to see each person different and know that no, all men are not the same. Ty just continue living and loving life and being that great person i know that u are. U dont know,u just might be looking too hard and over look her standing right in front of u.Be Blessed!!

You have to forgive yourself first. Then you have to see yourself different first. You can't focus on other people and circumstances. You have to be content in your singleness, before you can share anything with someone else.
