Ok so I was chatting with a friend last night and she asked what age would I like to be when I got married.. my reply " I don't think i'd like to get married"..After she said "oh come on have you never thought about the white dress the fancy cars, honeymoons etc". I look at her trying to make her understand "No really I have never wanted to get married even as a little girl". She look at me like I had just pulled her heart out "So thats really weird what are you going to do".. mumbling mumbling

I really don't think I ever want to get married, I can barely commit to a second date... Are women expected to want to get married.???

Not at all! We all have different ambitions and dreams, your friends just happens to be getting married. I guess way back in the day a womans objective was marriage but sure those days are loooooong gone.

I dont think its weird at all. Marrige is a big big commitment for the parties involved. If you want to be live your life and unattached, there's not a darn thing wrong with that.

Sure i'm 38, I'm not even dating anyone, Just enjoying the many experiences of life. Everybodys an individual with thier own minds and decisions. If you want to get married do it, If you dont, dont. There's nothing wrong with going either way :)

I did the whole marriage thing even though I didn't really want to. It was expected of me and I hadn't the guts to say NO!! I regretted it from day 1.

So stand your ground. You may or may not change your mind. At the end of the day it's your choice.

Live your own life, don't get married just to please other people, get married only if YOU want to.

well for me, i've always wanted to get married some day. To be in a loving relationship with another. And i know i dont have to be married to do that, i just think there is something wonderful about marraige. I cant explain it properly, just that someday it's something i would like to experience.

But if you dont want to, then dont. It's not a question you need advice on. Just listen to what your heart says.
