why you worry about that matter. I'm still in the 20's and I admit I don't experience that kind of relationship. My priorities in life keeps me going on.And I don't mind having a boyfriend, it has many advantages on my part because i can achieve my goals and dreams in life and I'm happy with my status. "The best thing ever". Although sometimes you seek someone who can listen your problems and other stuff. When people get married under 20's they have so many challenges in life especially our economy still uprising and never ending high price. Its never too late but also risk on our part as a woman. If you get pregnant in 30's you have to undergo complication of labor.

Don't mind your neighbor, I do believe if the right person comes along when he wants to take your hand and his the one. For now just enjoy being single and don't hurry

I have a friend who is 31 and he still never have a girlfriend. Funny thing is he doesn't seem to be bother at all. Not only that, he got a good looking face and an athletic body and many women actually interested in him. It's just that he come from a broken family that he never interested in any kind of family related stuff.

I hope not. I think the only problem female has is the ability to carry a child in womb at an older age, other than that there's no real hurry. I believe that you are still okay, and I don't think it's a good idea to rush into things when you feel you are not ready yet. If you want, you can give it a try, but I would prefer you going for the long shot than just trial and error basis. Don't worry, I'm sure there's a reason and time for everything. Good luck!

Keep at it, you are not missing anything earthshaking, enjoy. For all you know, you may be sparing yourself a lot of heartaches, which is good for your health and well-being. But always be on the look-out, and be ready to pounce... Hahaha...

NO its never to late for anything really. Everyone is different when they start dating people when they want to get married. Ever person and couple is different. I didn't start dating till I was 20 and I didn't get married till I was 21 which is really quick by I already knew my husband for several years before we dated. I have tones of friends that are now getting engaged and a few that have gotten married this year or last year at 22, 23, some at 24,25, 26. Others will wait till there in there 30's or so.

oh come on.just because everybody does it,it doesn't mean you have to.if others get married at 20 you don'thave to get also.i have a friend that didn't even speak with a boy till 29 years.she was focused on work and carier.now she is married and mother and very happy. i for example get out with boys,but i don't even think about marriage till i finish university and i start my carier.i believe everyting comes in life at the right moment.you don't have to lose hope. first of all how can you say is over?you are so young.most of my friends that have married at 20 are already breaking up because they were not mature enough and now they know what they really want.

When I think about it, I dated guys throughout the years but I never really had a relationship, and honest real relationship until I was 26 or so. In almost 30 and 2 years ago I met the man of my dreams. The idea is don't worry about it and focus too much on it. Focus on yourself and finding who you really are and what you enjoy. Things you can share with someone when you meet him. 25 is such a young age, there is still a ton of things for you to experience. Enjoy life and that special person will come along when you least expect. When I stopped trying to find a boyfriend is when he showed up.

Who told you that it is too late? You're still young hehe. I am 24 and yet I do not have a girlfriend. You're lucky enough because you did not experience heartaches. Just enjoy your life at this point in time. GOD will provide you the man that will truly and deeply love you and cherish you with all his heart. You take care.

I think it's not a big deal if you don't have a boyfriend, just wait for the right person to come with you. Even me I am 25 years old when I meet the first person to be my girl friend. A person that I promise to be the first and last person into my life but turn out not be happen because we broke out when she is going to far away... Now, I am lonely and hope to see someone who loves me and want to be with me until the end...

I was not into serious relationships until a couple of years ago and I am 29. You're younger than me! No problem. Actually there's never a deadline to be in love. There's no such thing as too late. But you don't want to miss the feeling of joy and happiness from being in love, so why not be in one. Just try opening your heart, you'll be in one eventually.

thanks prinzcy... hmm, maybe i was just thinking too much. i have 2 cousins at my age and they are both married with kids at the age of 20 and 23 haha I'm kind of left out and to top it off, i haven't even had a boyfriend hahahaha so maybe that's why i thought im pretty late on this phase of life hahahahaha but now i realized im not. thanks again

good day jd107nette, frankly speaking, i dont see any problem or reason why to be upset with your situation. maybe, the guy who is destined for you does not really come yet. however, what you are feeling right now is normal but dont be upset although you are nearing turning 26. perhaps, try to focus more on the doing other activities concerning your career if that is the thing you are enjoying at the moment. according to the good book, there is always a time for everything. just pray for it so you will know if the time for having a lovelife is nearly coming.

Hi jd, mine is very early marriage before 18 years. And i don't have that experience before. I never even thought also. But now i feel boy or girl friend is a friend we should not make difference with it. Of late i made a friend online from my place but never try to meet or talk over phone just sending message or a line not more that. Helping each other for any work or sharing views and thoughts about studies or job etc., that's it. For this itself i feel sometimes i may be doing wrong because it is not our Indian culture actually making boy friends and talking or chatting but now become common. I feel whether it is a girl or boy we must keep a good relationship rather. Have a nice.

I have many friends still get to marry but they never think of making or having boy friends only they focus on studies or their career.

Too late for what??? For a relationship? Im 56 and i dont think im too late for that. For having kids? Female have had babies into their 40's males have had babies much later than that. You are still a babe.

It isn't late yet. Maybe your priorities in life is not into having boyfriend relationship yet. You can still get married when you get older and the only drawback I see is that you are not exposed to experience those relationships when you are young. Experiences are good teachers especially in handling relationships. But with age comes maturity, maybe you can adjust well.

Hi! Nah I don't think its over...you're just waiting for the right person and hopefully, he will be along and soon. :-)

Well there was nothing to worry about it. But if you wish to try then go for it, this doesn't mean that if you will have a boyfriend is that you are going to marry or to establish a family already. It is a matter of knowing yourself on how you will adjust to any kind of relationship and how you will go along with the guys. Just be sure to love yourself and your dreams first above all, so that when heartache comes you will be able to move on easily.
