I'm 24, met loads of semi-long term "jerks" but never THE ONE, should I be worried ?

Question

Because most people have been MARRIED at a younger age than I and I still haven't had a long term relationship aka more than 6-7 months...

Answer 1

Be patient, and believe me when I say it will happen when you least expect it. Good luck!

Answer 2

In today's society, 24 isn't an age to be worried about getting married. Most people today don't get married until mid to late 20's, and it usually ends up being a divorce. It isn't like the generation before us, which was full of people getting married at the age of 16-20. Just try to avoid finding guys at bars, they're usually the ones that just want to get laid and really don't care about a long term relationship.

Answer 3

Why would you make a jerk into a semi or any other kind of long term relationship?
The more time you waste on jerks, the more "Right Ones" will pass you by.
Spend some time with yourself and get to know who you are and what you need in a partner, and don't settle for less.
At 24, you shouldn't be that concerned about settling down.

how can you define the term "Intelligence"? ~~~ Intelligence; the skill to get the interest executed, the skill to remedy issues. The better the themes solved, the better the 'intelligence'... and vice versa. Is Meditation related with Intelligence? ~~~ not inevitably. Classical meditation is a 'thoughtless' state, a Zen state. usually, 'intelligence' is on the subject remember of 'theory'. Is Intelligence a skill that all of us have, and that basically ought to be wakened? ~~~ in accordance to my definition, 'intelligence' is on a continuum, each and every person is able to fixing issues, each and every person is clever. Hiring the main suitable guy or woman skill matching the intelligence with the themes to be solved. can we strengthen our expertise with Intelligence? ~~~ we've not have been given any 'own expertise' to strengthen, despite if we had some magical skill to swap who we are (we don't) from 2nd to 2nd (all unique) at 'will', to make 'choises' (we don't). there is yet 'one' expertise. some moments/percepts there's a 'wider coated attitude' of attitude, some moments much less... All moments/percepts are actual and authentic helpful properties of actuality/the finished Universe. on the different hand, we are able to easily 'sense' and 'think of' as though we are the movers and shakers of the Universe.

Answer 5

Not at all! You are testing the waters...that's what you should do right now. I think someone else said this as well, but most people nowadays are using there twenties and early thirties as a time of self exploration. You need to learn what you want out of life before you go marrying someone just because you think the clock is ticking. Most young marriages aren't successful because people realize later on that they wanted something or someone different. You know you don't want a "jerk" so try to stay away from them.

Answer 7

I was just like you when I was 24. I had a series of relationships that lasted less than 6 months each, always with guys that I had initially found sexy but then they turned out to be jerks.

I didn't break that pattern until I agreed to go out on a date with a former co-worker who I normally wouldn't have considered my type. He wasn't tall, dark, or handsome. He didn't give me butterflies in my stomach (at least, not at first). Unlike my previous boyfriends, he didn't need to be the center of attention all the time, and he wasn't forceful or boisterous in social situations. Instead, he was shy, sweet, and thoughtful.

I'm glad I gave him a chance. We've been together 3 years now, and are getting married in a couple months.

Maybe you should look at your past choices in boyfriends and try to learn something from your experiences so that you don't keep repeating them.

Answer 8

Honestly, I dont think you should be worried.. Some people take till they are in their late 50's like I know a couple, they are a family friend. They were single but like you didn't find the right person till they were 57, they met at a General store and they struck it off. They now insist they were ment for eachother. But I say keep lookin, and if you dont find the one then dont give up just give it time and im sure the One will Come around sooner or later.

Answer 9

Live your life!! Now is the time to find out exactly what you want in life career wise and in a man. I got married at 20 and sometimes I wish I had experienced life more before settling down. I am 31 now and I feel like a young soul trapped in an older body!! lol! I dont regret it, but I wish I had more time to experience life for me.
So dont worry! He will come along and knock you off your feet! 24 is still very young!

Answer 10

When the student is ready, the master will appear.

Also, tolerance of another in a close space can cause some folks to want to be alone.

Sooner or later, all relationships reach a moment when they need renewal. Perhaps that is the next step, to learn how to sustain the team, how to learn tolerance.

I'm 61, in 6 days. These truths repeat, but, it gets better with time.

Answer 11

Do you want to marry a jerk?
You should not base your happiness on being married. If you find someone, then good, but there are worse things than being single. For instance, marriage to the WRONG one! Enjoy your life and focus on becoming the best you can be. Then I think a relationship will happen naturally and in the best time.
