what is wrong with people?????? i ran into people i worked for 30 yrs ago, and they proceeded to tell me of their daughters horrible divorce, then HOW SUCESSFUL she was 'coz ( at least10 times told me) how much money she makes selling mattresses!!!! so success is measured in dollars still. to me success is being happy, setting a goal and accomplishing it. not $$$$$$$. but i guess to those people, success is getting marred.
what's the rush. take your time and enjoy life

Absolutely nothing wrong with being an unmarried 21yo. Why rush into marriage just because everyone is pushing it and then end up divorced 2yrs later? Wait for the right man, it'll happen. My DH and I were married after knowing each other only 3months. We've lasted 37yrs but there were some rough patches. Enjoy your youth! There will be precious little time when the babies start arriving...just ask my 30something niece who has a 3&1/2yo and a 6mo old. She's lucky to get a shower in the morning before going off to work!

No it isn't that bad! Enjoy the stage of life you are in. I was married at 27 and when I announced I was getting married a Sister in law told my Mom, "Gee I thought Emmy would be an old maid" There are just rude people out there and can't get ahold of the fact some people are single longer or just don't want to be married. I wanted to wait for the right one and the Lord gave me the one just for me! He is worth the wait!! We have been married now for 271/2 years and it has had ups and downs but I wouldn't want to go through those with any one else!

I wanted to respond rudely, but merely laughed it off...then called my mom and vented about it.
Seriously. Is it really that bad that I'm 21 and not yet married? grr...

Haha wow, you all speak my words for me :)
I'm waiting for boys to grow up, having too much fun spending money, and figuring out who I am! I obviously haven't met the right guy but in my brothers words "Hailee, when you meet the right guy, he is going to be amazing. Because you're my sister and you deserve amazing!" (yes, at this point I was crying...)
Maybe if my oldest brother and older sister didn't marry at 19 I wouldn't feel so much pressure? haha
Hmm...between this board and Michael Buble's "I just haven't met you yet" I think, by golly, I might make it a bit longer haha

So, live your life on your own terms and not what is "expected" by others.
