Im only 25, and yet still enjoy being single. Im fine and content with where I am right now, but all of my girlfriends that I have seem to be obsessing about marriage and getting married ASAP.
So my questions is, is your clock ticking for you to get married? And at what age should my clock be "ticking" away?I still figure i got 2-3 years of being single.
Yet my older friends says to get married NOW... what the heck?!
There is no clock for marriage. If you want to have babies, there's biology to consider at some point but if you are setting an arbitrary time line for marriage just to appease your friends, you're setting yourself up for failure.
Don't force it or you're setting yourself up for failure. Also take into consideration that at some point you will become expired goods. I see women in their 30's who still play the "I'm gonna be single and treat men like crap" game, and thats only gonna work for them for another year or two before they look like someone took a baseball bat to their face. Just something to keep in mind.
25 is when the worry hits... then it subsides.. I'm 28 now and I remember the feeling of sheer panic that everyone else was partrnering up and getting married.. now everyone's prego and I'm still single. Oh well, I guess I can just drown my sorrows in a mai tai on the sandy beaches of the Caribbean while the others do the family thing. It will come when its ready to come. Can't force someone to love you, marry you, or want a family with you. That's just a recipe for disaster... or divorce... your choice!
I'm 27 and definitely looking for something very serious again. I don't think the clock is ticking, but I'd like to find the one that I'm going to marry, and the way its looking so far, its going to be a long road as I'm having trouble finding a suitable girlfriend nevermind anything further.

I can see your point, but of all of the things in life, marriage has to be the number one event that you do not want to rush. Just keep searching bud, you will find Ms. Right and Ms. Right will find you when you least expect it. I never believed that until it happened to me, and it was during a time in my life where I really wasn't even looking for her. Also, once you find Ms. Right, leave yourself PLENTY of time to get to know her. Get to know her background, her family, her soul, everything that makes up who she is on the inside. Not only will this give you a much clearer understanding of who she is, but it will bring you together in ways that you won't even realize. And, just when you tell yourself "Okay, I'm ready to pop that question", give yourself another full calendar year until you actually do so. This way you can be absolutely certain that she is the perfect one for you. Take the batteries out of that clock, life is too grand to life on a schedule!!! Take care bud and best of wishes -mmccul
I'm 32. I've wanted to get married since I was 17 but no relationships have worked out that way. Occasionally I doubt whether I'll ever get married...then I meet some nice new girl and get all excited about the possibility again
