Very true^^^

You are so young. Build your life, concern yourself with what matters to you. Really, the older you are, the more focused you become on what you want in a mate. You also have a lot less time to put up with BS, that may come with dating. You know what you will and will not accept. So, the mind games become less, if the guy knows that you are past the childish behaviour so many display in the early years. It always seems to come when you least expect it.

I turned 26 over the weekend and I'm still single. I just got out of a relationship about 5 months ago so I'm not really wanting anything right now. I'm happy where I am in my life. I don't want to even think of getting married until I'm 30. I have too much that I want to do for *me* first!

I just hit 30 and i am still single too. Its hard to find the right man who really loves and cares about you.

Oh noooo..... You are about to start the best years of your life I swear. I didn't get married until I was 33, although I lived with a boyfriend for 7 years in my 20's. I think I was in the best frame of mind and in the best shape and honestly the best looking I've ever been when I turned 30. Everything just seemed to fall into place and it keeps getting better. I really mean it.

When I turned 25, I cried like a baby. It was tough! but when I turned 30, oh my gosh, I looked and felt better than I did at 25. it was great

I understand how you feel... I recently turned 26, and am still single. The last guy I dated lasted a little over 3 months, and it just didn't work out as I'd hoped. IMO, 27 is still young and there is plenty of time.

Many of my friends have also gotten married, even started families... a couple of my close friends from h.s. married young (early 20s). I am in no rush, but sometimes I really feel lonely when I am out with a large group of friends and most of them are couples. For the most part, I'm happily single... it's not like I'm out searching or will settle for just any guy. I went 3 years without dating anyone at all, and it didn't bother me one bit.

You are still young! Seriously, enjoy life! Love comes when you least expect it. It's much better to wait for the right person than to marry out of complacency.

Personally I think it should be US law that you're not allowed to get married until you're at least 30! Minimum!

I think that because so many people I know who got married young are either divorced or should be divorced. When you're in your 20s, it's the time to find out who you are, find out what you want, and find out who you want.

I didn't get married until I was 35. That may be a little older than I would have preferred, but let me tell you I am SO glad I waited. The longer you wait, in my opinion the more you will be satisfied with your marriage (if you decide to get married).

Many women marry in their 30's these days. I met my fiance when I was 33. I'll be 37 when we get married. I thank God every day that I did not marry before I met him!

I am 26 and I have not been on a offical date in a long time - sad I know but I have high standards and I go to school full time and work full time , what little free time I have I can not justify spending it on some of the guys I meet
I have no desire to rush and get married or have kids right now . That is not where I am at right now in my life .
Someday I want to get married but right now
All I want to do is get into the Universty of Michigan and go to law school , I actually enjoy being in school

I wasn't married till I was 30. I don't think you should feel bad at all. You'll meet someone when you least expect it.

27 is the new 17!

exactly in your shoes...

At 27, I wasn't even close to being ready to get married! Enjoy your freedom and concentrate on you! I married at 34 and it was truly the best decision for me. I needed to establish myself first, before I could give of myself completely to someone else. Why hurry?

i also agree that it's better to wait for the right one to come along. my SIL only met her boyfriend (now fiancee) when she was 27...now she's 31, they just got engaged, and are planning to get married next year on 08/08/08. she did have a long term relationship before that (for 8yrs), but it didn't work out. they broke up and then a year later the ex-boyfriend asked proposed to her (saying that he regreted their parting), but she refused cause she felt that he wasn't the right one for her. soon after that, she met her (now) fiancee.

27 is definitely not old (esp. nowadays) and you're still young!!!! enjoy yourself and don't stress....

I'm 35. I've never been married. I'm hardly compatible with anybody. If I ever get married pigs will probably start flying.
