The thing to keep in mind is that you will always feel too old for something. When you're 18 you're too old to play, when you're 25 you're too old to party like a teenager, etc. But there's always something fun you can do at your age, and 35 is young. You can definitely go to festivals, you can travel, live in hostels, go surfing, snowboarding whatever.

But it's understandable that you're less excited about things, at 35 you're sort of programmed to have a young family. As you age that gets increasingly important. I still love extreme sports, travelling etc but compared to my kids it's just laughably pointless.

So use your financial freedom and take a year to get in great shape mentally and physically, train, travel, read and socialise. At the end of that you'll have no trouble getting hitched, and to be honest that's what matters, no matter what "voluntary" singles will tell you.

I know I will be downvoted for this but it's just the truth. I sacrifice my score in order to help you...

Feel free to email me btw if you want to talk about it, I've gone through very similar periods and know what it's like.
