Being 22, single and female
Sunday. 8.13.06 7:45pm
Recently I have been chatting to my single, female friends who are now 22/23 yrs, who think they are bordering the line, by which they see as the point of no return. They talk about their past loves, romances, experiences and the worry of finding anyone that is decent and that they can share a common understanding with. They also talk about plans for the future, the stages in which things should happen and decided that at 22/23 is the age to be finding the right man, and dating him. The plan should go as so:

age 22: find the man (preferrably one who will be potential husband material)
age 25/26: get engaged, or married to this man
age 30: have kids

Whilst among all this having a strong career and being happy. That is what they have in mind for their future. I don't know whether it is possible to plan these things, cuz often these stages will fall into place when they least expect it. It is not healthy to plan ahead and then be upset when things do not go to plan and they end up at 30 being single. That would only make them depressed, desperate and negative, which is a very bad aphrodisiac.

My friends are above average to good looking, have fantastic personalities, interesting, caring, funny young women who are worried that they are not good enough for some men, and that some men aint good enough for them. hehe. It goes both ways. They worry they set their standards too high, but guys also do the same. Is it true the 'single' world is becoming a more tougher and harsher place for people to connect? It is so difficult to find someone who is on the same page as you and wanting similar things and goals.

I feel for them, having this mentallity of being single. And not enjoying it, but rather loathing it and making it a countless effort to be on the hunt for 'the one'. I am one to believe in 'love at first sight', as cliche as it sounds. But I really do believe by not studying the person through a list of criteria (e.g. work, education, background, religion etc) it can be possible to find a connection. Most of the time it could be lust and romance, but also there is an aura that I know 'the one' gives off. Could be me personally but I have a sense about these things...I guess everyone does. But it may get clouded once in a while, when they are disrupted by too many wants and needs.

I dunno, what is your view on this topic? Do you think it is an issue for young people now a days to meet the right one? Especially when they are ready to settle down?

hi, its been a while, hope you're doing fine. well, pertaining to your topic.. to me i think getting married is just a natural eventuality. More importantly, is being happy, and being happy with the person you're with. Look too hard and we end up looking in all the wrong places. Best of luck to your friends, take it easy.

Wah...
When you're on the other side looking in, it's much different. I settled down pretty fast (waaaay too early now that I think about) and I'm finally starting to miss out on all the things that ppl my age normally do. Hitting the clubs, getting crunked, one night stands....just being so carefree....and yet, here I am...22, married, and mother of 1. I say that you should TAKE THE TIME TO ENJOY THE SINGLE LIFE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!! It goes by pretty fast and although being "settled down" has it's perks also, it's rare that you'll be able to take a break from it all.

sure...
I think that being single is supposed to be a fun part of your life, DEFINITELY! And marriage will happen but not when u plan it, it usually springs on u. Yes, it is nice to be settled down and have a child of ur own..they r a part of u! But u will always wonder if u have settled too early - whether u had done the things u wanted to do.But who's to say it's too late, u can still do those things, by improvising.Then again, love for ur kids will always come first :)
