Single Ward Drop Out ??? Time to?

I'm 29 and I still attend a singles ward.  When I was 19 and away from home my home ward was dissolved and my home ward was split into two stakes and a few wards.  I came home to no home ward so I decided to start to go to a singles ward.  It really was the appropriate choice for a college student to make.  I have enjoyed many years in the wards while being single, but I feel it's time for a change.
Why the change?  I know I'm still single, but Sunday I was late for sacrament and there was a young guy sitting out there and to be friendly I asked if he was going to the local college.  He said yes, and I asked what he was studying.  He answered and I commented.  Then he said yeah I think I saw you there huh.  I said probably not, I went there when you were a child.  He said he was almost 21 so he doubted it.  I thought for a second doing some math in my head and he was for real a child!  I was there like 9 years ago.  He was 11, not even old enough to pass the sacrament.  Although he still kept flattering me by my youthful looks I knew the truth and it kinda bothered me.  What am I doing in a ward full of super young people?  I'm not a cougar yet!  Maybe if I was 40 and dating a successful 30 year old stud I would be, but to be a cougar there needs to be a 10 year age difference and well....I don't want to temp myself with these children.
My goal right now is to move.  Move where there is more options...and not just in the man field, but also the job market too.
I keep thinking about some comment my uncle made to my cousin who is just a bit older than me.  I don't know why things this set of cousins say to me just stick in my head.  For example, when I was a child they told me about a scary movie where a lady went to the bathroom in the dark and a snake went up her butt....I still have to look in the toilet and for sure have light on while I pee.  Also, I developed faster than one of them who was a few years older than me and she told me guys don't like more than a handful.  I was a D by the time I was in the 7th grade!  What's a girl to think!  I thought no guy would like me because my boobs were too big. ha ha ha.  Ok, back to my point... My uncle told my cousin, his baby girl, that her eggs were drying out.  I know it was a joke, but I need to get more serious here people.  I love being single, but it's time I get a desire for more huh?

  1. Maybe you just need to find a man with large hands.

  2. Haha! I don't remember us telling you about a snake going up a ladies butt...but then again we told you a lot of things :-)
    Love my pops, but does me turning 32 really constitute my eggs drying up?? They had me when my mom was 36. Don't worry though, my mom decided to check with her doctor about me (cause apparently I'm struggling with my eggs), and the doc said I'm good to go. Eggs don't start to deplete till like 40 or something.
    Also, I'm still in a singles ward and think you should remain in one. You just need to find the right mix. My ward has people ranging from 21 to 34. It's awesome! I think going to a family ward is a stagnant death trap if your single...but that's just me.

    Ps-Move to Salt Lake! Best place to be for a young single adult Mormon scene. I think New York or DC would be an awesome place to move as well. Take your pick :-)
