Wow,Can you image a 27 year-old girl who never had a relationship with a guy,also be clear,she is not lesbian.Here today is Saturday, i still work at office,i must say spend the Saturday at office is much more make me feel happy than stay at home alone,my work always keeps me peace,so that i dont need to think about my personal things like falling in love with a man,get married and then having kids,those kinda things really drive me crazy.when i went back my hometown last spring festival,the question that everyone asked me is have you got married,where's your bf etc,that makes me feel really bad. I don't know when is the beginning that the only thing makes me feel peace is my work

Well, normally, most people will not be complete without a partner. Yes, some of us will have partners, but there are also people who aren't meant to have partners in life. That is how they are designed and we can't really blame them. But sooner or later when those people get old, according to survey, they regret not taking a partner in their younger years. It depends on the person really if they can cope with those situations. But with your case, I admire that you are passionate of your work, but what's more important than money, work, and things are family, friends, and relationships. The latter lasts for a lifetime. Kudos~!

That is perhaps true in your country. It is not true in my country. Over here, many women are highly educated, and are professionals. They regret getting married, and those who get married have to get a divorce to part officially with their husband. It is a waste of time, and energy. They might as well stay single.

Thx,sometimes i think so too,maybe it's just because it's not easy to make a real friend in reality,that's why i prefer to put all my attention in my work,the effort i put to my work will never be uselessness,but for people,not really.i'm not sure it's the same in your country.

@xiaoyan2 In my country, most people wants to be married and have a lifetime partner. In fact, many of them are really young when they started a family in which I frown upon their decision. I believe there is a time for everything. For me though, I like to focus on my work as well. When the time comes where I get captivated by the smile of a woman, then I think that would be the time for me to have a partner. Only time will tell. Kudos~!

being single is not the norm nowadays haha but you shouldn't really feel bad. if you're not yet ready, its better to wait and pray that your first man will be your last..

Being single is a norm in my country. Getting married, and then divorce is also a norm.

I have some female friends like that too, and they are almost 40. I think it's fine that they choose to be single. It's your life, as long as it doesn't harm anyone, I think it's totally fine to live how you want it to be. As for me, I have never thought of being single for my lifetime. I always believe I'd be together with someone, and I'd love to have kids as well. I can understand many people just like to ask all these questions. Just ignore them, and continue to live your own life.

Some people want different things in life.. maybe not a relationship yet then. But I know I'd like to be married before I hit 30.

I think most women in your country are really pressured if not married at that age. It is also influenced by its culture.

@xiaoyan2 Yeah! Since it is not common for women in China that they are not married at this age. Parents or even relatives are so worried. In some cases, I had seen and heard that there is evident of fixed marriage.

@Letranknight2015 I think being single is also a fine. We don't need to be pressured.

Many people like to remain single, and enjoy being single. It is a trend in many places, including Singapore. We like to work, and travel, and we do not like the commitment that comes with having a family or boyfriend. This trend is very prominent among the highly educated professional women. I think you are at least a degree holder, and you are a professional with a bright career ahead of you. It is good to focus on your career, and enjoy what you are doing.

You're not alone. I'm 32 now. I still wish that someday I could find a good man and have kids with him. While no one is interested, I try to improve and love myself each day so that by the day he knocks at my door, I have so much love to give.

my advise, don't worry too much about your tradition. we Asians have that always lurking behind, breathing down our necks. But I'm telling you, if you wish to be single for the rest of your life; it's not a problem. In your solitude, you'll learn that it probably is best that way. You can still have an adventure just by being single. The pressures of being single is nothing compared to the pressures of married life. Do what you do and enjoy it while you can,. At 27, I think you're still young. If you push yourself to seek out and get hitched, you might end up with the wrong one. Good luck
