Am I weird for this? most people are afraid of ending up alone, but I would rather just have a house mate than dating. Less complicated, relaxed, and you aren't 'technically' alone.

    Nope...Everyone is different. If this is what you prefer than you just have a companion. I know a few people who dont really believe in dating/relationships/marriage.... As for me... I would want to get married but when that time is right...But of course first step..work on me/date....then down the line I will see what is for me.

    Smart girl! At your age, there is soooo much to see and do and experience in life. Plenty of time for a hubby down the road if you change your mind, or not :drinker:

    I am just now starting to think about marriage, at 19 I was in a VERY serious relationship that messed me up pretty bad when it ended. I think taking time to get to know yourself as an adult, and figuring out exactly what you want in life is a good idea.

    I'm older (45) but agree. I know I do not ever want to get married again. I don't see the need since I don't want more children. I'm not averse to living with someone, but since I don't even have a boyfriend at this point I'm not really worrying about it yet. LOL

    Good for you for taking your time and being sure of what you want and don't want!

    That. LOL
  • Yeah I agree, I am 23 and I am so not ready to be married. My mom was married at 22 and had my sister at my age and to think about being married and having a kid at my age scares me. I am trying to find out who I am and love myself before I can let anyone else in my life.
