Well, I'm 24 too, haven't found the right person, but I really don't feel that my time is running out. On the contrary, I feel that I am not yet ready...
I am sorry my...can I call you my?....I missed portion of your post during my first read. I just mean, I was 33 before I even fell in love for the first time.
You're only 24! There is no need to rush... rushing and looking for someone won't get you anywhere pleasing. Just go on with your life, do things for you, and go with the flow and someone will find you... don't rush, just take it as it comes, there is no need to rush!
Time is running out? Sorry, I just woke up, did some strange dimensional shift end me up in the "Logan's Run" universe this morning?
Time is not running out for you! You are 24 right? what about cougars? 30+ women going after younger men. I dont even see how you can think that 24 is "close to the end". If you still cant find someone when you getr to 30 be a cougar. Have some fun, you dont need to settle. Go out there and start hunting. Im looking for someone to have some fun with if you would like to talk and get to know each other.
I'm only 26, soon to be 27, but I've been through what you're going through. I actually posted this little bit on a different thread of yours, but I want to make sure you get it. I'm not saying my advice is right, but there is truth in it. And from experience, looking for love too fast can ruin several years of your life. I'm not promoting this book because I haven't had the time to actually read completely through it, but you it could be advantageous for you to look at. It's called "20 Something" by Christine Hassler. Here's the bit I had put on the other thread: I think what you're going through is your 20's life crisis. It happens to many women in their 20s. Society has put pressures on us to have a solid career, a wonderful marriage, and at least 1 kid all before you reach 30. Don't buy into it. Take life at your own pace, and when you finally realize you don't need a man is when you'll actually find one deserving of your love. I used to need a man as well. For me there was an underlying sense of self-worthlessness that I'm still trying to take care of. Not saying it's the same for you, but look inside yourself. Naturally, humans need love, but it can come from many different sources, not just men.
Why are they unattainable, whatever that means in this context. Quit worrying, someone will come along for you. Look at married people in their 20s. They aren't much different, if any, when compared to you. Soon you will think this was a joke, if it isn't already.
Stop hanging out with indecent, ignorant people and get some decent, intelligent friends. If your friends ARE decent, intelliegnet folks, stop dating strangers. Instead of sorting through garbage in hope of finding a jewel, develop a circle of good folks. One them will be interested in you. You in him? Maybe.
