How do you feel when almost all of your firends got married whereas you're still single? I'm in this kind of situation in which people asked me when I will become a bride. But I haven't had any intention on it.

If you decide of not getting married then do not be pressures if people ask you about it. i have a friend who vowed that she will never get married coz she says she is not the marrying type and she doesn't think she is the mother material as well. Just stay happy with your choice and nobody should make you feel bad about it.

Wow, your friend is cool! I don't dare to swear like that. I'm thinking about my family. Here in my city, when a maiden hasn't gotten married, the family may be embarrassed. People might badmouth about them.

Really? I think it is a choice that nobody has the right to meddle with. I think there are just some born to be single all their life, but that doesn't mean they will grow old unhappy.

I don't care if they are all married. I know myself very well and I would never be satisfied with just any man to be married. Most of my friends don't have the kind of man or life I would like to have. That is what counts, not the fact to be married and feel unhappy for the rest of my life.

It's not like I really care about that. It's just people keep bothering me, keep telling me to find a man. Akh! I don't need a man right now. And just like you are, I think I don't want to live like my friends.

Hi there, Don't worry.. I feel the same way you do. I feel happy for my friends that they finally get married to someone they love. But another part of me, I feel like I am some kind of loser.. I believe you understand what I mean. So, right now, I don't want to think about it too much. I just have to live my life at this very moment. Trying to live my life the way I want it. Fight hard pursuing my dreams. I always believe in love... I just don't want to keep waiting for it to come. So, I make myself as busy as possible. Do the things I like and just be happy.. Stop listening to people's words. They will just drag you in uncomfortable situation. Marriage is an option. The most important thing is to be happy. As long as you are happy, don't bother yourself with others' words.

I got what you mean. I get myself busy as well to avoid their questions. Being busy is helping somehow. Wish you luck!

Travel around the world to find your prince? Do you intend to marry a foreigner? Travel around the world seems quite difficult. I wish you luck!

The situation when all our friends got married is really a feeling of loneliness.Whether the friend is very close or our best friend after marriage or committed to a relationship there will be creating a unknowing between friends.And when we realize it definitely it causes a heartbreak pain and its difficult to go back to olden days.

You got the point. Though I'm happy for them, I'm sad as well. I'm not jealous for them to have marriage, but I'm sad to think that I can't hang around like we used to be.

Honey...I don't know if this will make you feel any better. I was once in your shoes. Now I'm 42, never been married, and I feel ok about it now. Not to say that I still wouldn't want to be with my soul mate someday though...but I just live my life and be happy in the moment

I think I'll be happy too even without marrying someone. But people around me might say bad things about it. I'm in the age of getting married.

It is such a pressure when your friends are getting married one by one. When you see them all find their partner and you still is with your boyfriend who does not seem to care as he is loving the company of you, or that if you still haven't found the one who might be your life partner. I guess every girl has this dilemma.. we ought to know though that these things, getting married especially is not something we should rush towards into. We should be happy and just be concerned about living our life as it is and just wait for the right time for you to find your perfect partner. Our time will come, and though sometimes i wonder why not yet now... i know it will come soon, and the long wait is going to be worth it.

I hope the time will come (but I hope it's not close for now). I'm living my life and enjoy it much. I wish you also in good term.

I told them so. But you know what they said to me, "It's because of you haven't tried to find a man." Akh..... that really disturbs me.

You know what is one thing I hate? People are asking when you are getting married or having a boyfriend whereas you are still single or not even in relationship. For petesake! Being committed in relationship is not like an object where you can get what you want everywhere just like that. When you are in relationship falling in love is involve. You are committing into relationship not out of desperation but then you fall in love to a person who became your friend or someone that you used to be always together. So if you are really single who is not really into relationship people should not ask when are you going to be a bride. Isn't that is offensive question? I find it illogical question as well. But to answer your question itself. If I am in your shoes then I don't really know what would be my reaction.

That's true! You're right! I agree! So you're in this kind of situation as well. I hope if we get married to someone, it'll be someone we love and love us, and the person is the best for us.

I find this is awkward and most important time flies. I can still remember the time when we spent together. That is so precious for me. I feel happy for them and hope everything is going well after marriage. I also need to work this hard on that.

I'm happy for my friends though I always find a way not to attend the wedding. I'm always afraid to think they must ask me when will I get married too.

My friends started getting married when we're only 22, and I was single for years after I turned 17. I used to feel so sad and ugly and even so sorry for myself that I let it depresse me and limit whatever I can do. Then I just snapped out of self pitying and decided to enjoy life. I got married to the man of my dreams when I was 28 and I couldn't have it any other way. Only then did I realize that timing is also important in a life altering decision such as marriage. Had me and my husband married like they did at an early age, we would have ended up with the same problems they're having until now. So just take your time and enjoy being single. Nobody knows for certain what the future holds for us, we can only embrace it as it comes. And marriage isn't supposed to be hurried.

I'm glad you found a man of your dream and didn't get any problems. You're right, I think timing is very important. Actually, my target to be married is at 28, not before that (after 28 is okay).
