You're around so many other young people with similar goals and lifestyles--to tie yourself down at 18 or 19 seems a little unhealthy to me. I'm seeing it happen with my friends, too--they find it hard to meet single people their age, and will probably be single from 22-30. Sad, but true.

Wise words. I have dated a lot and looking back, it was fun and I learned a lot (negative and positive). Dating a lot of different types of people has helped me learn exactly what and who I am and am not looking to settle down with. Besides, not that this is true for everyone, but remembering how I personally was at 21 and 22, compared to how I am now, if I had settled down with anyone of those particular people from that time it NEVER would have worked out and I would have been one of the girls at my highschool reunion who put single in the memory book under my name because they were too embarassed to put divorced at such a young age. (just my opinion though).
