You may have always been the friend who coordinated all of the party nights and was always the last one out of the bar. As you get older however, you probably realize there are fewer and fewer left in your group of singles. Many of your friends may be choosing to settle down and leave the single life for a life of marriage and children. Although you may claim you will get to that point one day, you may wake up and realize you are truly the only one left that is not married, or even engaged for that matter. When you do have this realization, it can be rather shocking. You may feel many things. You may be glad you are not giving in and might want to stay single longer. Likely, you will feel as if you need to play catch up. When you think about it realistically, you need about three to five years to make it happen. After meeting the person of your dreams and dating for two years or so, you might get engaged. Then you will have to wait another few years to plan the wedding. That is after you meet the right person. If you are in your 30s, you might really be starting to panic. You should know that no matter if you are the last person married or not, you should wait until you are sure you ready to tie the knot. Sometimes singles will rush into marriage just because they fear being the only single person left. If you are wise, you will sit back and take it slow. However, you might want to at least start thinking about trying to find Mr. or Mrs. Right. |
