I can actually relate to this. I was in a similar position at 18-23 (well, 10 months ago lol). I never got engaged but i did wear a ring and we did the whole pretend marriage thing. Of course my priorities changed from 20-22, but I stayed in fear that I would be alone and was put under the impression that nobody else would want to settle down in this new hookup culture, let alone care about me. Lol of course it went to an end, but learning how to be happy without letting a relationship or a guy be the measure of my value and self worth is very liberating, and important lesson to learn. Glad she woke up earlier than I did!
and what did Miranda (Sex and the City) say? "It's better to be alone than badly accompanied." And she's doing well in her career, and I really can't hate on that! I used to think she was ridiculous, but now I see a 21 year old having fun... And she should! I'm sure she'll settle down the party lifestyle when she gets older.
