Dating and finding a partner is hard. In fact, a larger percentage of 40-year-olds have never been married than in past decades, and a substantial portion of those people have never been in a committed, romantic relationship.
I’m researching an article on the experience of being perpetually single, a phenomenon that tends to affect women more than men. I’d like to talk to women over 30 who have never had a serious relationship. I want to know: How has your approach to dating evolved? What are you now looking for in a partner? How have your experiences shaped other areas of your life: family, friendship, career, where you live? What do you feel like you’ve missed out on, and what have you gained?
I’ll read every submission, and I’ll contact you if I’m interested in learning more about your story and possibly including some of it in the article. We will not publish any part of your submission until I’ve reached out to you and had a conversation with you. We won’t share your contact information outside the newsroom or use it for any reason other than reporting this story.
