writes:I see on facebook how people I know from the past are getting married or just recently engaged. I'm a 24 year old single dude, and I get down when I see this. I feel happy for them, but I get a little sad. I had this one relationship (I liked this girl for several, several years). Then she just broke me apart....and dumped me on prom (I assumed it was because her parents didn't want her to date a person of a different religion). I don't know. But anyways, for you single people out there, do you feel this way?

 my girlfriend gets broody and she does get jealous, although she wont admit it, she always brings up people she knows getting married or getting flats and moving in together, she gets frustrated at me for not being in the same position lol
I must admit i get jealous too, i would like to be in a place where i could ask her to move in or ask her hand in marriage etc, but its all money holding me back :( still living with parents at 22 slightly demoralizing for me been working for 7 years and not had a wage over 14k over the 3-4 jobs that i'v had.

I consider myself to be young but i sometimes I feel lonely because in my entire life (19 yrs) i have only dated one guy and he broke up with me about 3 months ago. It hurts when I see someone get engaged and stuff but I am hopeful about the future. Dont worry, friend, just meet people and enjoy your life as much as you can.
Best wishes!! Smile!! :)

 Wow! i thought only females had that problem..Facebook is the devil...I felt that same way before I met my husband..There's nothing wrong with you, a lot of ppl are at the point in there life where they believe they have found the right one, done with school etc..and divorce is trendy right now for ppl our age..There is no right age for marriage, it will happen before you know it ( i know i sound cliche)..but i would take a break from facespace

 Yeah ive felt it. Its the most severe when its someone you have had feelings for, or still do. All i can say is keep moving forward and try to push it to the back of your mind. If you don't it will get the best of you and really make you feel bad. Your not alone by any means feeling this way.
I live in the mid-west in the middle of nowhere, and a good amount of people are getting married by the time their twenty, my age. I keep seeing all these people leading successful relationships and getting married, and all i do is keeping getting burned when i get emotionally involved with people.
Im twenty and already sick of the dating game, its not a matter of having issues finding dates, its more that none of them ever go anywhere really or some outside force interrupts it. Ive not lost hope, but i do not really try to find dates anymore.

 I know the feeling. The girl I had a massive crush on all throughout high school just got married a week ago and believe me, being single and yet congratulating her on Facebook was bittersweet. A little envy is normal. Just try to still be happy for their fortune, even if you're not enjoying the same good luck at the moment.

 I just think that in a few years over half of them will be getting divorced.
24 is so young for a guy...go date and marry in 5-10 years.

 I wouldn't say that I get jealous, but when someone gets engaged/married I do take a moment to assess myself and where I'm headed.
Then I remember that I'm 26 and still have all the time in the world... :D And so do you!
Have you dated anyone recently? If you haven't then maybe you should be focusing on that instead of other couples and marriage... Ya gotta walk before you can run buddy.
Best of luck :)

She recently got engaged, which hurts because part of the reason she told me she wanted to break up is because she wasn't ready to settle down with one man... well six months after she dumped me she hooked up with this guy and a year later... they are engaged. Hurts a lot.
I wish I had someone special... I'm still looking for the one, I wish she'd hurry up and find me because I'm lonely.
