Better SINGLE, and looking, than MARRIED, and looking. Let it soak in....it'll make sense!

With the divorce rate as it is, it pays to wait till you find the right one no matter how long it takes. You will eventually meet the person that is right for you. Do not rush into anything just for the sake of being Married. You are only 24. Not 34 or 44.
It is easy to marry the trick is to stay married. Happily. With a sincere, loyal devoted kind, caring person. Meanwhile just concentrate on what ever you are doing, working, or if you are a student. The worst thing is to show the men you are desperate to get married. Stay interesting, and fun to be with. Your mate is out there, saying the same thing you are. "I am looking for a long time". Don't worry you will both find each other.

Girl - you are only 24! It's not like you are going to wither away in another 12 months. People don't come with expiration dates stamped on their bodies. Don't make the same mistakes as many 20 somethings and jump into marriage so you can get divorced in another 10 or 15 years. Give yourself another 5 or 6 years of learning about men. By that time men of your age(30) will start maturing enough to want to keep a lifetime commitment when they make it. You'll also get to live a few more dreams before settling down to a lifetime of kids, a mortgage, and living a long term commitment. Marriage should be considered a commitment of until death do you part. Unless you plan to kill your husband if it doesn't work out, have a little more fun in life for awhile.

What is the rush? You are still young. School and work are the best places. Any friends that can set you up after screening the potential guy? Do you have hobbies where you can meet people with like interests? Don't be shy. Introduce yourself. Take a dog for a walk (always worked for me) at the beach or a park. Great icebreakers. Go to the gym, Get a makeover, Repackage and freshen your approach. With that added confidence try something new.

Hello,
You sound desperate. Firstly you must stop being desperate. Even if you are, don't sound like one :)
Secondly, join a local church or volunteer for something in your area. There are chances of finding good men there. Also, try good dating sites - not just any. You can tell by the kind of pictures and messages, if its a site for serious people or not.
If you have kids or don't mind hooking up with someone with kids then www.singleparents123.com is an excellent website for serious daters who want to find a person to get married to.
Hope this helps

There is no need to rush into anything. If you do you may end up with something less than what you dream about. I have found a great free dating website called www.plentyoffish.com.......and it is totally free. You can email as many men as you like to talk to. There are alot of men on there that are tired of the dating scene and are ready for long term commitment. If online isnt for you.....then the right one will fall into your lap when you aren't looking. Hope the best.

Take your time and date for a while here and there... Also try match.com and eharmony.com as these are good sites to check out and to find people on to meet and date. You may also have a local date line either in your paper or on a phone somewhere in your area. Good luck to you and do not give up hope. Do not rush into marriage make sure the person you meet and date is the right one for you to marry.

Maybe you should stop looking to get married and just let it happen. You may be trying to hard. When I met my wife, it just happened neither of us was looking to get married. In fact we worked together for 4 years and we became friends later. I am not sure how it happened, but once we started dating and talking a lot, I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and I proposed. Slow down it will come

Enjoy your life. You are missing out on a lot right now because you are fixated on getting married. No offence, but you sound desperate to get married, that is going to scare off a lot of guys. You're young, relax and enjoy it.

Why are you in such a rush? Enjoy your life because life is to short to be worrying. When the time comes you will find that great guy you have always deserved. Just take life little by little enjoy the time you have at this age and sooner or later he will find you. good luck!

Stop looking and just have fun living your life. When you keep putting yourself out there like that then you end up missing something important. Life happens so fast and trust me, you don't want to miss a moment of it. Just take it easy and have lots of fun, it will happen when it happens.
