I’m aging but don’t have the motivation to find a partner, go on dates or be in a relationship. Any other Singaporeans feel this way and what cause it?
I’m a 25F, completed my education and having a stable job. Friends and people all around me nearing my age are all in a relationship, married, having kids.
I do want to get married and settle down but I just don’t have the motivation for now to find a partner, go on dates etc.
This was so due to what happened in the past where I got to know someone, invested in the person so much but eventually got my heartbroken till the point where I don’t have the motivation to get to know anyone or go on dates although I do want to settle down someday.
I feel that its better to be single than being in a relationship and having to go thru hardship, sacrifices and heartbreak.
Any thoughts about it and what should I do in such situation?

- 25 is aging????
What has the world done to you, my sweet child - I’m 40. I guess I’m near end of life then…
- 25 is still very young in the big scheme of things.
Just do whatever makes you happy and see where life takes you. - Jialat, if 25 is aging then I’m living on borrowed time. Better book my nook/urn.
- When you put aging, I didn’t expect to see 25F. You’re still young, lots of time to meet someone and settle down.
Seems like you had a bad experience which caused some fear of relationships or commitment. Have you considered therapy? It can really help in these sorts of situations.
Also, I would question if you really feel the need to settle down or if you’re just feeling peer pressure from your friends. No point seeking out a relationship just because you’re trying to hit a certain life milestone by a certain age. - i expected 55f. burn out bah, take a break n try again. meetup app
- “I’m aging” – so the rest of us what… reverse aging ah?
