writes:If you could tell the 25 year old version you some good tips about love and dating- what would you tell her?I am a 25 year old female and have been in a long term relationship for 4 years, however, as great as it is, I am always wondering if I am missing out, or if I should be thinking about having babies, if I should get married etc etc. I'm always thinking about what ifs, and what should I do's. I realise that at 25 I have a lot of living to do, so I was just wondering if some of the mature ladies here with more dating experience, wisdom and life experience can give me some advice they have learnt about love and stuff over the years. What would you tell the 25 year old you about love and life if you could go back in time?Thanks :) Reply to this Question

 Oooh! I LOVE this question! :) And, as I will be turning 46 next month, I think I am "mature" enough to answer! I would advise any young lady in their 20's to enjoy their youth, have fun, meet people, develop good friendships with both men and women, pursue your own interests, travel if you can, have a room mate or live alone for awhile, and keep an open mind to what life has to offer you! I got engaged 3 times in my 20's and somewhere in my gut I just knew I wasn't ready to get married at that time. Do I regret those relationships? Nope! Do I regret my decision not to get married at that time? No way! It was all part of my journey toward becoming who I am. And who I am today is not defined by anyone but me. In my mid 30's I did eventually get married to a guy who looked good on paper, but it still didn't work out. So, now I am single, and I am really okay with that. I am dating and just trying to enjoy my life as much as possible. But, if I feel a real connection to someone, I would be open to another long-term relationship, but either way it's ok. My advise is to be ok with yourself first. You don't need a man to complete you. You need to feel comfortable in your own skin and not worry about whether "Mr. Right" will come along. Be your own best friend. Nurture and care for yourself. Then, when love does come around...you will be SO ready. Best of luck, honey! :)
