Dblock10 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 when is considered a good time to settle down? or does it just depend once you feel you have fulfilled to some degree your personal ambitions and exploring? I've always wanted a girl friend and commitment but in my twenties I've realised things don't work out. so now I'm focused on me and doing what i want thoughts..

Pyro Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 when is considered a good time to settle down? or does it just depend once you feel you have fulfilled to some degree your personal ambitions and exploring? thoughts.. It will be different for everyone so there isn't a universal good time. If you happen to meet someone who you find yourself extremely compatible with then you may not want to let her go, but until then I say enjoy your life. 1
irin Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 if i find someone that i cant be without, but other than that im far too focused on my goals.
TigerCub Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Agree that there is no universal good time to settle down. Generally I think its safe to settle down when: - you can support yourself fully. - you meet someone you love and you're compatible & happy together. - you've gotten the chance to really know who you are - have all sorts of adventures and experiences, you know what you want, you know what you stand for, you know where you've been and where you wanna go. I'm sure there are more things to list, but these are the important ones that come to mind.
MrCastle Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I'm 24 and my longest relationship was...a month? And I'm being generous when I say a month. It sounds better than "give or take a few weeks". I have no intention of settling down but the majorty of my friends are in LTRs and have been for 5-6 years with the same person. Most of them live with their SO and some are even teasing the idea of marriage in a few years. That's not me. Not now at least. I'm young, I'm in college, I want to...sample the merchandise? window shop? I don't want to make my purchase. We all mature at different levels, right now I don't think I have what's needed to make a LTR last and any attempt would be futile at this point. Or maybe I haven't met a woman that has really wowed me yet.
