( PS - i am in India ... people are usually married here ; there are some singles but not too many )

I am single .. do u think it strange ? be frank please?
Sounds perfectly fine to me. I'm a few years older than you and have never wanted to marry. I've never misled anyone and have always been up front about it.





It's good for you to focus on yourself for a while. In fact everyone should periodically take some time and rediscover who they are without someone else.





My suggestion is when you have some time and the money travel. Thanks in part to never getting married I was able to retire very early and traveling lets you escape the people who judge you and fell they have some right to dictate how you should live.





One of the things I discovered while traveling is that there are many people of a similar mind who are also doing the same. I've met hundreds of people both male and female who are financially well off and enjoying single life by seeing the world.

Reply:It's not strange. In America, 50% of us are single.
Reply:I think it's good that you are taking time to sort your life out...however, I think its a little odd that you're completely shutting out the possibility of finding happiness for THREE YEARS!! If you don't want to get married...don't. There are a lot of people who just aren't into it. Do what makes you happy.
Reply:No, being single is actually a good thing.
Reply:You do what you feel comfortable doing in life, you choose the paths you feel are good for you, yo seek spiritual growth where you feel it is good.





No one person is the same. so you should not feel you have to do what everyone else does just because they do it.
Reply:Fallow your goals and you will be perfectly fine...i think its not unnormal.
Reply:It doesnt sound strange to me. It sounds like you have a plan.
Reply:You are a person with priorities and standards. You knew what position you wanted to be in and you have apparently put your life in order. Now you are seeking someone to share your fruits of labor with. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. You want to make sure you are happy and that the person you are with shares your same qualities. Sometimes being patient and putting life goals first can make time pass by fast but it also allows you to have more time to focus on the one you love when they come into your life. You will find that person and I know You will make them a great partner. Good Luck.
Reply:It's good as long as you're taking time to improve yourself spiritually, mentally and physically...take care of yourself and when you're happy most likely other people around you will be...maybe you're not meant to be married. My uncle never got married, he's like 50 now and he's happy. Take care.
Reply:It sounds like you have goals. That's good, keep with them. I don't know any positive reinforcement websites, but just remember that taking time off for improvement of oneself is a worthwhile endeavor.


Good luck
Reply:I dont think its starge.....maybe u should try to find a girl from the u.s there r tons of single girls here that dont care for marriage and r just afraid of rejection.

Reply:Don't know of any good websites but being as you have never been comfortable with the "marriage thing" then you have made the right move. Stay single and enjoy your life!
Reply:i'm indian, so from someone who's a part of the society you live in -- no way!





i suppose earlier, people had a typical life plan - go to school, grow up, get married, have kids. but now, people have really started embracing the fact that not everyone has to be 'conventional,' and that we're better off doing what;s best suited for us. marriage certainly isn't for everyone, and besides, who's to say you won't change your mind later (not that you have to, but, you know, anything's possible, right?).





its great that you actually have goals, and you're not just aimlessly wandering through time. it's wonderful that you know who you really are, that's a LOT more important than some ring on your finger! you've made some pretty enviable achievements -- if you're happy with where you are in your life, then i'm happy for you :)





and strange?? no, just unconventional.
