Im only 18 but im worried that i will be alone for the rest of my life.
Does anyone know any statistics or know a website that says what percent of people will get married?

worrying about getting married for the sake of being married is a bad attitude to have,focus on finding someone that you care about and have similar life goals otherwise you'll scare everyone you meet off and be left with losers that know that you want to be married so they will use it against you

Statistics can be misleading. It might count how many people will marry and at what age, but it will not show what percentage of people remained married after a long while.
You have plenty of time to worry about getting together with someone. I know that's what everyone will say, but it's the truth! Chances are you won't be alone for the rest of your life. However, would you be content to have a live-in boyfriend that never married you? If that's the case,then you'd never be married...but you still wouldn't be alone either. Define what you want out of life and set your eye on that. But first you have to know what you'd be willing to settle for.

I would stop worrying about that at 18. You have so many experience and fun times ahead of you where you will be given the opportunities to meet the man of yor dreams.
Don't get your head caught in the statistics, because keep in mind many people marry for other reasons besides love. Because they're pregnant, because they need citizenship, because other people pressure them to, because they need the financial support...etc etc.
I have the feeling you want to marry for love. Focus on being the best you that you can be, and someone will take notice. And...if your daily routine is pretty boring, I say pick up some new activities.....
get tennis lessons....join a gym...take an extracurricular class at the community college. The more diverse activities you are in, the more people you will meet...and they may have friends who you will get the opportunity to meet and so on.
blah blah -People know this, and I'm sure you do, but just wanted to remind you girlie.

I don't think you should be concerned about statistics. I know for sure you will get married when you meet the right person. You have a long future in front of you (you've only lived about 20% of your life so far), and you will meet very many people.

You have so much living to do enjoy your single-hood. I have been through so many long relationships and thought they were the one just to find out they were Mr. Wrongs. I was 35 trust me I was set to be single and childless for the rest of my life and my friend set me up on a blind date and I told myself I will go but I was not looking I was dead set on just living my life single and having fun. I never believed in love at first sight but the second I met him I fell hard and he proposed 2 months later and we have been married almost nine years, and one wonderful 6 year old son. Wait and enjoy life. Meet lots of guys and one day when you are not looking you will find your prince charming, I did.

you are still too young to be worrying about that...live your life to the fullest first...by studying and working, there's a pretty good chance you will meet the right guy during these times...nobody can predict what will happen to you in the future...instead of worrying, why not carve your own destiny...meet people and decide if this is the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with...dont rush...the right guy will come along if its meant to be...

Don't worry about. Go out and make yourself available. Try to meet new people, this is a good way to meet a potential boyfriend.
