Sounds pretty normal to me. I'm in the same boat. Society places a lot of pressure on people to go through set stages at particular times. If you chart your own course I'm convinced you will be happier because any decision to finally enter a long term relationship will be just that, a choice.

Yes you are perfectly normal, age does not have anything to do with settling down, besides being single gives you an advantage to explore more of your talents and do much more not only for yourself but for others. The difference between being single and being married or settling down, is that, when you are single you are only committed to yourself and much time is spent on doing things than people that are settle down. So enjoy your singleness, you are still young and a whole life ahead to plan for the future and even prepare for when the time is right for you to settle down.

I'm almost 31 and also have no desire to settle down or get married. I think I'm normal. But maybe the people around you expect you to find someone and give you the feeling that it is not normal to be alone.

Yes, normally self centered and very comfortable in your life as it is now. You probably or most surely enjoy your job, your carreer, your friends, etc. Just remember what you're aunts probably said sometime... "the clock keeps ticking". Do you really want to find that you shared your life with no one. That you didn't experience the miracle of giving birth and caring for an infant.
These are just thoughts, but if you find a decent guy now, it takes at least two years to get to know him well, then a another to marry wisely, another to enjoy your marriage, then you try to get pregnant. If you procrastinate you'll be surprised of how terribly fast life simply flies away... and each year you'll be harder to please and harder to yield into a healthy relationship because you are used to being in control of your life, so it gets harder to share the control with a partner.

You're normal. Some men want to settle down at your age, others enjoy the freedom and don't want to settle down until they find someone who plays the game better than they do. You'll be happily married by 36 and you won't even see it coming. I'll bet on it.

Normal covers a wide range of attitudes. Are you focusing on work or something else that makes you feel good about yourself? Did your parents have a bad relationship/divorce? Sometimes people think they don't want love because they haven't seen how a good love relationship works, that it can bring out the best in both partners. If you are happy the way you are, don't worry. If you are not happy, do something about it.

Here is some encouragement I settled when i was 35 and had my baby at age of 38. My child is very health and I am happy. Who cares if I am normal or not.

After reading the problems on this site I don't blame you. Marriage can be a good thing but, it's not for everyone. But, don't be put off by many of the people on this site. They are not good examples of what most married people are. If you find someone you love just be with them any way you can for as long as you can. Marriage isn't necessary but, love is.

You are intelligent and wise.
It's not "abnormal".
You're just maybe more independent and quite able to get along on your own.
However, one shouldn't TOTALLY bash out the chances of a relationship with that of a desired companion.
It tends to happen.

Yes it is very normal. In fact smart! You do what pleases you. Sometimes its good to be a lone then to be in a relationship that won't work out. A good way to prevent a heart ache! and also you don't have to answer to anyone and you can come and go as you please with no ties to anyone! Good choice!
