Is 25 too old to be single?

Your happiness comes from you and there is no real rule book in life so just enjoy it while you're here on Earth. Marriage is not something to take lightly and people are living longer than ever so take your time and when it happens it happens. You won't have to second guess.

I can completely relate, and I'm 3 years older than you. I tend to find myself feeling seriously lacking because of my scant romantic history. Sometimes I get into a funk where I worry about where I'm at (or not at, really) relationship-wise, but generally I try to just take care of myself, and try to keep a positive attitude, expecting that everything will happen as it's supposed to. Hang in there, you're not alone. =]

If it makes you feel better, I'm 20 next year and I've never even had someone kiss me properly?

Hahaha, oh wow.

I got married when I was 30, which is taboo here in Utah :laugh: Don't rush into anything. I will never regret the friends I made or the people I met.

Well if 25 is too old, then at 36 I might as well throw in the towel, lol
I've been the same place you are, seems like everyone around you has moved on to that part of life, and it makes you feel weird or awkward. But, you're ready when you're ready, and trying to force it because others around you are doing it, sure as heck ain't the way to go. There's not a thing wrong with waiting.

Our society places a stigma on single people of a certain age. I'm 37 and single. People are shocked when I tell them I'm single, I like being single, and I will most likely continue to be single.

I have lots of things to do - mostly, take care of my child and work hard on my fitness (which in turn affects my career which I also work hard at).

When I'm 60 and I can say, "Til death do us part," and actually mean it, I'll consider some permanent company.

You're closer to being married as a single person than you would be if you were with the wrong guy right now. You just haven't found him yet, it will happen when it's meant to. I'm 23, almost 24 and I'm not even close either but I'm not worried. I think that once you meet the right guy, marriage could happen fairly quickly.

HeatherTransformed

Ewwww.... no! Enjoy it while you can. (Says the single 41 year old) Hahaha!

im just gonna drop some gospel and tell it like it is.

Live it up..... date MANY women. Go out, have fun, experience, explore, experiment. Find EXACTLY what you want..... and when you do dont ever let it go.

If you can do that, age is not a number and you will be just fine.

NO

itsjustdawn

I'm 31 and have no desire to get married.

10 years from now, you won't feel behind ... You will feel enlightened for taking the time to be young and free and find the right person for you. Enjoy your singledom. Enjoy your independence. Most of all never try to keep up with others, that is not the path to your own happiness.

Be true to you. Never rush love.

gypsybree

32, single and loving it.
And no I'm not the only one. I know tons of happily single thirty year olds.

JNick77

Honestly, having been married and now divorced I wouldn't recommend getting married until you're 30 and experienced life or at least accomplished and self sufficient.

thatmixedgirl73

I think it's better to wait as long as you can. I was 37 when I married. You mature so much and learn about yourself over time. And you should be happy alone first. You should be a complete person by yourself, and not rely on someone else to complete you. So, have fun!

lmelangley

I have good friends of every age who are single - some who have never been married. You need to define yourself by who you are, and be happy where you are. If it's time to be with someone, you'll meet that someone. Don't rush it.

KristysLosing

A friend of mine is 32, single and that doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon. To each his/her own. You don't want to rush something like this just because of your age. You're fine. You'll get there. :-)

I'm 26 and still single.

I'm 25 as well, and single. I have learned not to care about what people say. Believe me, it's not easy. Where I'm from, being a "complete" woman is measured by the type of marriage she has and the number of kids she has and whether they're cute+smart+talented. I know I'm being branded as an old maid behind my back. But at this point in my life, I really just want to discover the world and what it has to offer to people like myself. I guess what eases the blow is that I have like-minded friends. It's not a race, no need to rush.

If 25 is too old to be single, then I'm a Spinster. :-) Though I very much advocate getting people married younger, not all of us are destined to marry early. I'm 27 and waiting on my partner. My aunt didn't get married until 33 and she's been happily married for 25 years. :-) If you want to be married, go out there are find your wife (just be active in looking), but don't worry if you haven't settle down by tomorrow.

ptak1sm

I'm just a month older than you and just started in a new relationship. Neither one of us is in any rush to get married, and we're just enjoying our time with each other. Take your time, enjoy your life, and make sure you get to know yourself. Confidence is sexy!

emdf7a

Do I think you are too old to be single at 25? HELL NO! I consider you smart!

djc315

I am 24, single, never been married. My best friend just turned 42, she is married with three kids. Don't think just because someone is older than you, you can't bond with them and have nothing in common.


I did think I'd be married by now, with at least one kid. But I'm not. I know the time will come though. A friend of mine just got married and she is 28/29. She knew her fiance for just under a year before they got married.

I do agree and understand what you are saying, it seems like ALL of my high school friends are either married or with children or both.

I'm only 21, but because I am involved in my church community, most of my friends are in very serious relationships or married, and even at this age I feel left behind sometimes! Which is just crazy. But I am honestly happy focusing on myself right now, and if I didn't get married until I'm a lot lot older I really think I would be fine with that, as long as I had good friendships and was involved in my community. I don't want my identity to become found in someone else, and I feel like my friends who got married at a very young age never really had a chance to find out who the are. I love spending time by myself.

I must be ancient then I am in my 40's and have never been married LOL I think we are all ready at different times and when it is the right person that is when it happens

becs_91

Definitely not too old! I'm marrying pretty young (me 22, him 25) and if I hadn't met him when I did, I would probably have waited til at least 25 too, maybe 30. I always planned on avoiding marrying young. Oops! Lol. I think it's great to live a life on your own before settling down with someone!

Sarah_Wins

Seriously?

As someone who's 35 -going on 45- and single, the mere idea of this is so ridiculous I had to :laugh:

mah1120

Haha I hope not. I'm soon to be 25. I'm enjoying my single life for the most part. :-)

AZKristi

The older you are when you tie the knot, the less likely you are to get divorced So enjoy being single, enjoy dating, and when you meet the right guy you'll be ready
