    I'm 32 and have no plans to get married for at least another 100 years. The majority of my friends are not married, and when they do get married I replace them with someone who isn't a sell out.

    I think you'll be fine.

    It makes you smarter. My kids were 24, 31, & 33 when they got married. I think you're better equiped to make a good choice for a lifetime when you are 25+. You need to go at your own pace... I got married at 22, and wish I hadn't. The married lasted almost 20 years, but only because I felt like I had made a vow before God,and had to keep it no matter how bad it got.

    25 and still single is better than 25 and divorced with a kid. Don't rush it.

    25 and single is a whole heluva lot better than being a 37 year old single divorcee with 2 kids who now have a deadbeat dad.

    Don't rush stuff that's not meant to be, learn to be your own best friend and hopefully the rest of it will fall into place for you!

    I'm a 27 year old single divorcee of 2 kids who have a deadbeat dad. You act like that's the end of the world. We're doing just fine and I wouldn't trade these boys for anything.

    Absolutely! I'd never say that my kids are a negative thing EVER! I love them and that's the part that sucks - they have to deal with the fact that their dad is an arsehole I picked when I was 21 and afraid of being alone for the rest of my life! I always give props to the single parents who are doing it by themselves (without child support and/or alimony) because it's the hardest. I've had an amazing 11 years being the only parent to my kids and as rough as it's been they are the most amazing people on this earth!

    I think that society sometimes puts too much pressure on us to be married by X age, and I think that leads to many people settling or saying yes to the first person that asks because they are afraid no one else will want to marry them. I think that there is no right age to be married, and that you certainly shouldnt settle just because you are afraid you wont find anyone.

    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.

    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.
