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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
