Am I too old to be "single but not fabulous"?

People seem to admire "single and fabulous".
I'm a 27-year-old single college teacher, but it seems that nearly everyone around me wonders why I still remain unmarried at this age. No one seems to admire my "single" situation, except for me myself. Is it because that I'm not fabulous at all? I couldn't afford to rent a decent apartment on my own------I'm sharing an three-room apartment with two friends------let alone buying one for myself.
Now I'm just wondering that since I'm not fabulous, am I too old to still be single? Should I just marry some guy who comes up to me, even though I'm still not in the mood of getting married?

Oh no no no, girl! don't ever do that! yes, you are fabulous being single! enjoy your life while you can! the right time and the right man will come for you. you can't just grab the chance when a man comes up, it's not like it's the last day of your life okay! you are absolutely still young! it doesn't matter if you share an apartment with friends, as long as you're sharing the expenses and not loading them up with responsibilities for your sake. Being single is a blessing... so enjoy this blessing while you can!

you know what, what you said really makes me feel better. I really enjoy my life now except that when I go back to my hometown. My parents and relatives just think that I should get married as soon as possible.
I'm going to enjoy my single life and make it colorful while waiting for my Mr.Right to come along.

My brother only got married at the age of 39 and my sis who is 40 is still single and she wants to stay that way. She's happy because after a few failed relationships, she'd decided that being single is a lifestyle choice. Further to that, she's financially independent and even has an apartment that is fully paid under her name. I don't think you should just jump the wagon and get hooked by any men that comes along. The divorce rate is also very high amongst young couple. My advise is, take your time. When the right man comes along, you'll know it....
