well, according to me, you shouldn't think much about that at your age. Just study and graduate and work hehehe. There will be times when your problems matter, but for now, just enjoy life...
PS : you should try to interact more with girls hehehe...

People mind change with age, you are now only at 19 and when you getting older and older, your view and your way of thinking way be different. It is always good to plan ahead for your future but sometime things change.

Hi. whitehowkz. Welcome to myLot! I think that you should not avoid girls just because you don't want to get married. I think that you should be around females just as long as you are not misusing them for anything at all. It is nothing wrong with you adopting children that are not your own. Just take your time in life and don't rush. You have great ideas that I hope you can accomplish someday into the future.

your future planning is very good and thumbs up for that great thought about social service, but 1st you have to build a well defined career, well you didn't want to get married its ok , now you have your parents for your support, one day they will pass away then who will be there for your support ? only money doesn't bring everything , and also it is good to not to get married , you can survive a burden free life,

Hi, I'm a 22 year old male and IMO I think you may be thinking to far ahead with adoption plans. You may find in the upcoming years that it is important to focus on yourself relative to those around you who love and care for you. Before you start making plans to care for others (as a father), make sure that you have fulfilled the duty of a son yourself as a growing adult. I hope this helps :)

you can pursue your plans but get yourself ready for plan B. if two balls are getting fast toward you and the one seem to be bigger you must know that the smaller ball travels faster. i rarely do this kind of advice

that's a nice dream but quite unrealistic. having an orphanage takes a lot of work and it would be easier if you have a wife to help you out. look for someone who has the same vision as you. Plus, you are still very young, believe me, you outlook changes every year. You might not think like this anymore when you reach 20

I don't know. It's a bit too early to be deciding on what you'll be doing for the rest of your life. Don't leap before you look. :) Think, there must be a girl who thinks you look attractive. If you're going to adopt kids, do you think they would want a mother? You have your whole life ahead of you, don't determine the end prematurely.

You are still so young of thinking not to get married. At this point in time of your life, you are still at a crossroad where you are still choosing of things to do in life, such as what to take to college and where to take it. Maybe you are now bent on making good in your studies, so you avoid girls.
As to opening an orphanage, it's a good mission in life, though it may change , once you have finally decided of whether to marry or not.
Don't be too serious yet on life. That is the start of the age when you have to explore your adventurous side yet.

hello,
You are young and you dont yet find a women that is best for you. I think you can explore to your environment first and enjoy things because it makes you realize that life is boring without a women in your life but what you are thinking is nice like you want to have an orphanage but it is more fun to have a women beside you and take care of you. Don't hate women

You're pretty young.See more hiding little things in life and then Take major decisions like marriage and other children.
Look a little more look at how other families live and decide what you want to make your lifestyle ancestors whether you're ready for it.
However, men marry later from 26 upwards increasingly less are those who are thinking about family and children.Glad you're healthy minded person down to earth.
Have a nice day!

take your time, don't leave other people make decisions for you. read the phrase of Kung Fu Panda (the turtle I don't remember his name): Past is history, tomorrow is unknown, today is a gift, that's what is called present.

You're still so young, take it one day at a time, don't close yourself to possibilities in your life. Your goal is admirable and if you want to you can achieve it.
Think of your career first though, or how you can find a fund to support your future goal in making an orphanage, it won't be easy to be responsible for many children you know...
