everybody is married, why not me? 26 years old good job, yet no boyfriend should I freak out just yet or do I have time to actually find a good man to marry.

I wouldn't start freaking out until your 40, then you can freak all you want. Until then, relax, your young, you've got lots of time to find your future husband.

You have time!!! If you're 30, 31 and then still not married, I might be a LITTLE worried, but everyone's time to find a life partner is different. Something that might make you feel better is that a LOT of studies show that people who get married after they are 25 have a SIGNIFICANTLY lower rate of divorce than those that marry younger. The older you get, the wiser, more mature you are, and the more life experience you have, the more likely your marriage will last and you will be able to effectively pick "the one". Don't freak out, just enjoy life. I have found that love usually finds us when we are least expecting it. I wish you all the best.

Everybody that's married will eventually say I wish I was still single. Everyone who is single wants to be married. The proverbial grass is greener on the other side cliche. I was 30, and am glad I had my 20's to enjoy thoroughly. All the wild oats sowing has given me some great stories and experiences for my kids. Once all my friends got married from 22 on, I didn't fit in with them but once I got married, I rekindled those friendships and they have good knowledge of kids, schools, activities if you then choose to have kids because they've been through it already.
Wait wait wait until you find the right person, and even then it is not easy to be married.

And how many of those who got married in their teens or early 20's have a lasting relationship. I think 25-26 is an age when you finally know who you are and what you want. When you find it, you will know. Being married isn't the important thing, being married to a great mate that you love and have fun with, is

do you really want to get married or you're just being pressured by your surroundings? what if you like being single? don't force yourself to get married just because everyone is getting hitched. you really want to have a boyfriend? go out and meet other people. accept invitations from male friends-parites, dinners, etc. best of all, if you believe in prayers, pray for the right man to come along. getting married is not the issue - being married HAPPILY is. if you are happy with you life, why change it? as the saying goes,do not fix something that is not broken. let nature take its course. if you are meant to marry, it will come. meanwhile, enjoy your single blessedness.

Don't worry about it. If you aren't married in 20 years, start freaking out.
I had a bunch of friends get married in thier early 20's , and a bunch of them got divorced. Take your time.

You probably don't think so but you're still pretty young.
Don't freak out about being married.....you have plenty of time.
If you want children maybe you can start getting nervous if you're 35 and there's still nobody in your life you want to marry.

don't freak out until your past 35.....You're still REALLLy young, you still need to give yourself time to adjust to being on your own....be free for a while...and not EVERYONE is married.
