I hope you find the difference sooner than I did (after the age of 50).
Something polite like...
"No - I'm not getting married anytime soon - but if you promise not to ask such a stupid question like that to me again - when I'm engaged you'll be the 5th person to know...how's that sound to you?"

Marriage should not have an age associated with it - get married when you find the man you want to spend the rest of your life with. That can happen at age 21 or at age 60! Better to remain single until you find your "soul mate" than to marry because someone suggests you are the right age and end up divorced.

Stay single for crying out loud! Do what you want, when you want to, and how you want to! You still have to discover who YOU are, before you can discover who someone else is. Enjoy your life, you have plenty of time honey!

Don't rush ...time is precious ... enjoy it!

I married the first time at age 18 and had 2 kids by age 20. The third baby was born when I was 24, divorced at age 27. I was too young the first time. I married again at age 30 to a wonderful man who loves me and my kids and we had 3 more kids together. He went from bachelor to instant family. We just celebrated 25 years of marriage and I can't imagine my life without him. Take your time...you will know when the time is right to settle down.

Sorry, I had to laugh. I am 27 and have been with my boyfriend for 6 years-we are not married yet. I have a twin sister, a 21 year old sister, and BF has a sister (32 I think). My boyfriend and I have been together longer than any of them and they are all married and have kids now. My sisters constantly ask when we are going to get married. I just tell them, when I finish school and have a job.

Don't worry about being single. I'm 40 and not married. I still have friends and acquaintances who mean well by trying to match me to someone. I just figure that I can't put up with someone long enough.... :P

Enjoy living your life the way YOU see fit. Marriage isn't for everyone (look at all the divorces). Do whatever makes you happy. My daughter got married at 35. I was proud of her for not "settling" just because most of her friends were married but rather waiting for the right man.
