No matter how old you are, how long you've been single or how many times you've had your heart broken, there is always a chance that Mr. or Mrs. Oh-So Right is waiting just around the corner. On Tuesday, Redditor Throwaway_723 asked users, "People who were still single into their late 30s or 40s, did you eventually find love?" Below are 12 hopeful stories to remind you that it's never, ever too late for love.

8. At 34 I went to an old friend's wedding. The bride's sister was the girl I was madly in love with in my 20s, but was always too shy to tell her. She was incredibly sweet and insanely beautiful and way out of my league. After a glass or two of liquid courage, I jokingly told her how in love I was with her back then. She then punches me in the arm and told me she was also crazy in love with me. She said she had pages and pages written about me in her old diary, and she still had a photo of us together that someone had taken at a party. Amazed, I then told her I had a copy of the same photo and had treasured it all these years. I asked her to marry me that night (No one saw me propose, it was after the dinner and we were outside by ourselves). She said 'yes' and we got married the following year."
