RE engagement discussions from bbs: Not that I at all want to be engaged/married now, but I can't help but feel I'm "behind" in life when it seems all

Posted by Hotkiss (aka hotkiss7348) Mar 8 '10, 23:28

my other friends are somehow hooked up, and many taking the next step now that college is ending.

will I ever be loved, etc.

just a thought.

Heh, I grew up in an environment when if you weren't attached out of high school you had a real problem. All the good guys were taken and you had - MojaveMeg Mar 8, 23:34 4
- ah the good ol days -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 23:39 3
  - Yeah, at least we didn't have snow to trudge through :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 8, 23:45
  - Those carrier pigeons would poop all over the place! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 8, 23:40 1
    - no wonder you had to hook up in high school back then. otherwise, it would take years to find each other again. -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 8, 23:44
It happens all the time, a circle of friends tend to get married within a year or two, or drift away - zeitgeist Mar 8, 23:30 2
- I think I'm lucky that all my closest friends are a) older b) even more hopeless at relationships than I am - celedhring Mar 8, 23:52 1
  - yup, in the 25 years I lived in San Fran, none of my close friends got married (which is strange because I was a wedding photog and now an officiant) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 9, 00:04
