Lemme guess, they breeder bingoed you about the biological clock with babies? Gosh what is it with parents being obsessed with wanting grandkids?
No they just want me to be happy, and they feel like that's the best way for me. For the first time in my life, I'm 100% content with myself and I'm not sure I need someone else to fulfill me.
Well don't they know that you're responsible for your own happiness? As long as you're happy and it's not harming yourself or anyone else, then who cares? And that's something I should remember too. Im responsible for my own happiness during my 20s whether I get married or not! Nobody else makes me happy but myself.

Yep. God didn't put me here for me to panic about being single.
I'm 24 but have not felt pressure to get married for age related reasons. Rather I have been in a LTR for many years and I've felt pressured to get married based on that reason. When I was 20 though I was in college, in a variety of clubs, working, and living life. I can not picture myself being married at that age. I think getting married after 25 is wise IMO. I'm getting married next November, that is the age I'll be. :-) Most people I know are not interested in getting married young.
I think getting married in the early twenties can be a grave mistake for a lot of young people.
Hmmm. I'm 18 but I did hinted by my Nana that I need to get out more or I won't find a wife(which I guess is partly true). But I don't think my parents would really care if I never got married. I have some former classmates my age that are engaged and I'm at the age now where I can get married without permission, so I do sometimes think about getting married. But I am increasingly finding myself thinking that I want to meet a someone to get married to in the future. I definitely do want to get married and it would bother me if I never did. I mean I would get engaged now if I were with the right girl but probably wait until 21 to get married. I'd like to be married by 24 or 25 though. Most people on my dads side of the family were married with a baby by my age.
But if it were still the 1950s when college wasn't really mandatory, and I had a steady job and were with the right girl, I would certainly get married now or soon. Because that's what I really desire right now, is a marriage and starting a family. But I have to go to college and I can't afford to support a wife and family right now.
My parents want me to wait until I'm closer to 30 but I think that's a little bit late particularly since I want children. My parents married at 30 but divorced 5 years later...
I'm not pressure to get marry but a lot of my friends are getting marry. I get the "oh man am I going to be the last one" pressure.
