If I meet Ms.Right and we click, then I'd be cool with being married by 30. If not, then I'll wait until the time is right.

Considering I've already passed this "milestone" then I shouldn't instantly declare myself a failure??

I still don't really have any intentions of marriage, but-you never know.

I once dated a man who was a few years younger than myself who was obsessed with talking about marriage and one day we were sitting on the front step and off the top of my head said, 'You won't be ready to be married until you are at least 32." Several years later I ran into him and he said he'd gotten married and I asked him how old he was when he got married and he said, "32."

So, targeting a specific age like 30 as an appropriate age is pretty restricting.

Sure, I'd love to be married by 30. That doesn't give me much time, though, so it's probably not gonna happen! LOL

I think you're better off waiting till you're almost 30 to get married.

Gee, I love all of these opinions, that is what makes CD so wonderful. We all have a different idea, and some of the time those ideas are because we or of different ages and have lived through different life experiences. I got married when I was 20. If I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now, I would wait until I was 35 to 40, unless a lady came along that just blew me off my feet. I've known some absolutely beautiful and gorgeous ladies who were in their 40's that I would have been interested in when I was in my 30's. I have a friend who is a black lady, if I would have met her sooner in life i would have done everything i could think of to date her. She is not only good looking, but she is a warm wonderful person. So, I guess my best advice is to take your time, stop and smell the roses as you go through life. The right person will come along when you least expect it. Once you are married and a person that could be right comes along, you are SOL.

There is no one "right" age. Every person and every relationship is unique - what works for some won't work for others.

Therefore, the "right" age to get married is when, and only when, you have met the person you cannot live without who can also not live without you (and you are self-supporting, of legal age, and have no large debt other than student loans or a mortgage).

I'd like to find that perfect person before I die. I put no time restrictions on happiness.

I thought I'd be married by the time I was 29, well, I got married at 35.
Don't get married until you find the right one, no matter how long it takes.
