I wanted to say one more thing. For every Veronica who met her husband when they were really young, there's another like me who met the right guy after the age of 30. The first time I "almost got married", when I was 23, it was very much a kind of "Well, I'm finishing graduate school...it must be about the right time to get married" thought process. That guy was very likable and all, but the driving force was a sort of intellectual conviction that it was "time" to get married. And it would have been a mistake (we called off a big wedding the week before, which is a story in itself).

So...there is no right timetable for this. That's what I meant by take your time, don't rush.
