A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Im 25 years old and Im just a normal hapy-go-lucky girl with a good job, good friends and family. Im currently single, but I would say it was rather through choice. I know Im very attractive, and I hate writing it as it makes me seem arrogant but I need to let you know this in order for me to explain my whole problem. Im never short of offers for dates but my problem is that I find it extremely hard to start feeling attracted to someone. There are a few men Ive had relationships with and with each one I have been attracted to them for years at a time, even when we split up. I find it very difficut to just go off somebody. Because of this, Im more single than attached. However, Im not one of those people that spend their lives looking for another half, who dont feel complete or happy unless they have a partner. I have a great social life and always out with friends, I dont feel the need to have someone all the time, althogh I do admit that sometimes I get a bit lonely.

Anyway, what Im worried about is that Im gonna grow older and never meet anyone. I mean, Im 25 now. Alot of people my age are having kids and getting married. Ive always wanted to have alot of children and have a big white wedding but I feel like Im running out of time. I fear that Im going to just settle for someone, rather than be with someone I love, because time is running out. Its a horrible feeling and Im often awake til the early hours worrying about this.

I know where you are coming from. The main thing I have learnt though is, it is important to go out and have fun. You never know who you will meet and one of them may be the one. You're only 25 and you still need to do some discovering and travelling, don't settle down too early, the world has so much to offer. Maybe the person for you isn't in the country you live in.

Ultimately you have to know your goals in life and you have to seek them out.

Whatever you do though don't settle for second best.

Well hey, i understand where you are coming from and frankly all i can really say it doesn't seem like your ready for what some of your friends are. Being envious is different then being ready just like how young girls think they want a bra because their friend just got one. There are lots of people that dont get married until their 30's and being that attractive woman you are, it should be alot easier to finding that mr right. You do have time for your soul searching but if you dont think thats what you need then its not. I wouldnt lose sleep over it but i would do some real good thinking about what it is that you really want. It's all in your head you just need to let it loose :)
