I am hoping that I did find the right girl with the ones that I have found as of late. :)

While I am mostly at peace with being single @ 28, part of me feels torn about whether I should have a girl in my life and (possibly and eventually) get married or stay the way I am for the rest of my life and not get married.

It's a struggle, you guys. Both sides have their pros and cons (pros of staying single: More money for me, more freedom...., pros of getting married: Possibly starting a family; cons of staying single: Confined to a lifetime of eternal loneliness, cons of getting married: Money strains, sensory struggles with having kids, et al)........ what am I to do? *sigh*


Do not assume that getting married means you have to have children. However, you should communicate to a potential partner up front if you are unsure about having children.

I don't think you can truly be torn between staying single and getting married, it's easy to say for anyone that they'll never get married when they're still single. It's even easier for someone to say they don't want love when they're single, but the right person can come along and you'll instantly throw that mentality out the window. I mean, you've said yourself "
I am hoping that I did find the right girl with the ones that I have found as of late." so you know you truly do want someone, and if you find someone that works for you, who knows what'll happen? Just relax and enjoy the experience.. time will tell what happens, you don't need to get married or have kids right away. And you don't even need to set a timetable on those things.

^ I guess you're right. Eh, I'm not worried, even though I may be bipolar on this, I think that it will happen for me, sooner or later.

I thought I'd contuinue posting on this thread instead of posting a new one. Yeah, I am bipolar about staying single and getting married; the main reason why I am in the former is many factors in my life that somewhat beyond my power. But even so, I remain hopeful that some change will come my way and that the woman of my dreams will come. :)
