I wasn't that old when I met DH (25), but I was already divorced. I had had one serious relationship in between, with a couple of not so serious ones. I definitely did not want to be single, but I was enjoying my life, not sitting waiting around. It was the late 70's, so I spent a lot of time in discos and bars, as well as doing some things I didn't do in college (like going to ASU football games), because I was with jerky DH #1. Truthfully, I don't like being alone. I do stuff by myself and actually enjoy some solitude, but I would not like to not have a partner. I often think that if DH dies before me (even though he is 3 years younger), I probably wouldn't marry again, but I would want to find someone to share my life with.
It would have to be a cyclist, of course.
Yeah, I didn't really want to be single when I was 25, or 30, or 35. But when you remain single year after year (minus a handful of relationships), you gotta figure out a way to make it work. I just go to a point where I was sick of being sad all the time about it, especially since I know plenty of marriages that are nothing to pine after.
