Always brides maid never a Bride

[sarah_hollock]

 It seems to me that theses last 10 years have been so hard cause very year friend or family member are either getting married or having a baby. Which don't get me wrong i am happy for ever single one of them.But for some reason i feel alil left out, i cant help but to feel like i was left out in the cold on the married list and child barring stage of life. And not to sound selfish but when is it my time. I guess i will never know and till then i will be going to baby showers and weddings, and getting gifts for all my god children . Yes i have alot of them.......

when you least expect it you will find Mr. Right and get married.... babies can come when you are ready.
Both marriage and parenting are big adventures and I would think you want to make sure you are doing these adventures with the RIGHT GUY!

How about never a brides maid never a bride.  I was a "junior brides maid" when I was 13 at my brothers wedding.  Other than that I've never been a brides maid or a bride.  I don't have a great need or desire to be a bride myself.  Everyone walks a different path in life. 

but when is it my time.

You have to make it happen.  If you're feeling left out do something about it.  You can't sit around waiting for things to drop into your lap.  If that's what you need to find a way to make it happen.  You are 100% responsible for how your life turns out.  If you don't like something change it.

I feel for you. I have several god children myself, but no kids of my own or even the prospect at this point since I want to do it the right way and have a husband first. Problem for me is that, I'm never the bridesmaid or the bride... I'm one of the girls that has waaaay more guy friends than girl friends, and my closest friends are all guys so I dont usually end up in weddings. But what sucks is that I don't have a problem getting dates, it's just that theyare all the wrong kind of guy for me- they either arent compatible or just want sex... Like you, I'm tired of putting my heart on the line and waiting... when is it my turn?

It will happen.  With me, it happend when I was at work.  Now we have been married for 3 years and together for 5.  Just keep your eyes open, and relax

Stay strong mama! You'll get there; feeling a bit the same way myself. I'm a dude. Not a bride. but, you know what I mean

If you truly want a baby and husband you MUST settle.  Someone out there will marry you. you're just being too picky.

I'm the last of my siblings still single, and ironically I'm the oldest of the bunch.  I'd like to be married someday - to have someone in my life to share adventures with; and it would be great to have a child as I feel I have so much to share.  However, I'm perfectly happy being single - as I have so many things I want to do and see.

I love being the crazy/fun aunt to my nieces and nephews.  I take trips and try out new activities - and the kids love when I share all my adventures with them.  I look at it as being a role model to the kids to let them know there is no rush to "having" to get married, that there are plenty of things to embrace as a single person - and not to be afraid of being single - but instead make the most of it.

If I'm to be married someday, it'll just have to be a guy fast and energetic enough to keep up with me (or smart enough to realize how scatterbrained I am about romance and get my attention...ooo, shiny!   ).  Or if I really desire to be a parent, I'm keeping adoption as a future option (most likely adopting an older child).  For now, I'll stick with my plan to get a dog first to see if I think I'd be ready to take on the responsibility of being a parent vs remaining single and fancy free.  That and thinking of new ways to spoil my nieces and nephews rotten!

It will happen for u. Just keep your faith in God and anything is possible.

Stop looking!  Love will find you, and change your thinking.  Think of bad things and bad things will happen.  Stay in a positive mood and stop looking.

Finding a guy is not so easy I believe but trust me you will find one when you need. Until that time you have to make your life. The time runs so fast you will not even know how it passes way. Don't get depressed god is always good

You will find someone when you least expect. That doesn't mean you should sit by the phone at home every night watching reruns and eating ice cream but if you find activities in your life that you enjoy (hiking, sports, camping, etc...) and find others who like those activities something will happen. You will only meet so many people through a friend of a friend sometimes you have to step outside your circle of friends to find it.
