Sounds like my college ex-boyfriend. We're still good friends--and knowing how he lives now, I never wonder "what if."
I don't know how I felt about that article...I'm 29, single, and secure in my education and career. I'm not slacking, and I was pretty lucky to find a well-paying dream job at 24. That said, I'm ready for The Next Thing--marriage and a family--and it doesn't seem like anyone my age is really up for that. Very few of my friends have gotten married, and of those, none of them intend on having kids for a while.
