I agree.....NONE OF THE ABOVE. There is no reason so just "settle" because you don't want to be alone......

Sounds like you need some more time to get to know yourself a lot better & to become more self-confident & self-sufficient on your own before you ever get involved with ANYONE.

Focus on a career & being able to take care of yourself without being dependent on a guy to take care of you so that if you do get married & it doesn't work out like we all plan they will.....you won't end up trapped with the person.....& when you focus your whole life on a guy they get bored with someone who has no other interests.

Get your life together & if the right person shows up who has feelings for you & you have feelings for them & they are of the same beliefs (Christianity) as you are & you take some time to really get to know them....then consider having a relationship with them.

I met this guy in September & by spring I knew there were serious personality issues.....but stupidly went ahead & got married because he was a nice person......HUGE MISTAKE!!!! Listen to that little voice inside that tells you about incompatibility because for me, 33 years of a miserable marriage, I finally left for the same reasons I initially had for NOT wanting to get married in the first place but went ahead & got married because he was nice & my mom assured me that he would "grow up" when he had to with.....like I said....BIG MISTAKE....& a lot of wasted time of my life spent with someone that was nothing but fights for all those years.

Don't get into a relationship in the first place with the wrong person & you won't get trapped into a bad marriage.....there is NOTHING WRONG with being selective....it saves you a lot of grief.
