I met a friend from a previous company that I used to work with. I was so happy seeing them back. There are a lot of things that we talked about. One of them was about my job, and so as with love life. She was asking why up until now I didn't get married knowing that I am at the right age as they think to get married. I wonder some people get married too young and too old. Is there a right age to get married? or for as long as you are ready to face marriage that is the right time to get married? For the moment I am still enjoying myself being single but I am still thinking of I am odd of having no boyfriend at my age.

yes there are many people who always ask why you still not get married in that age,but they will simpley answer they haven't yet found the right one,sometimes that question can offend them,so other people ask that question i a joking way.

hello janefatima, Nice that you got to meet some of your friends and had a good time sharing and talking about things. Well, when it comes to marriage, its about what the person is thing is the right time for the person to get into marriage! As far as you are concerned with, don't worry that you are an odd one just because you don't have a boyfriend for your age. You said that you are happy being single as of now, so when you say that i hope that you really mean it and that you are enjoying being single with not much responsibilities on your shoulders! So, i would suggest you to think about marriage only when you think that you are actually ready for the responsibilities that come along with the marriage! Don't rush up into marriage because of peer pressure because it might even lead to problems and disappointments with your partner who is to come in your life. The essence of marriage could get lost. Marriage is the most important decision in your life, so take up that only when you actually believe that you are ready for that! Good luck!

Considering standard in your country --I do not know. Considering culture in India nearer to your country - it is ok to be without boyfriend. You say that you are enjoying being single. then it is ok. Otherwise try to identify suitable person with or without the help of parents/elders. have a good day
