Engagements

Here, I'll start!
In my experience, several people around me (25 yrs old and YOUNGER) have this crazy need to be married. It's like their biggest dream. Last year I lived with two girls who had all their wedding details planned out... but no boyfriends. It was the weirdest thing. I just felt sorry for the guys they had over. All those huge fantasies and expectations projected on them. Poor suckers.fnordboy wrote:The majority of us (atleast from people I know and talk to) just don't feel ready for marriage...or more importantly that stage of life and adulthood until we are much older.
Now that is just plain scary. Ew.Kristin wrote:Last year I lived with two girls who had all their wedding details planned out... but no boyfriends.

That is so funny! I was watching this show once, and the lady on it had no boyfriend, husband, etc- just like those girls. She took it to an extreme. She bought a fake engagement ring, planned what her kids were going to be like, where they were going to school, names, wedding details, their car, house... all of that. She even bought a designer dress- that put her debt big time. Now, if I was a guy, I would run away screaming. Who in the hell is she going to attract with a vail already stuck on her head??Kristin wrote: Last year I lived with two girls who had all their wedding details planned out... but no boyfriends.
That's what I thought! My boyfriend even mentioned that it freaked him out. Once in a while one of them would bring a guy over, and I'd never see him or hear about him again. I have a feeling all the lists of "100 things to do with your boyfriend," Anne Geddes posters, and crappy romcom chick flicks scared the guys away. Hell, it scared me away, and I'm not even a guy! If I recall correctly, one of my roommates (the younger one, she was 19) said, "I want to have lots of kids, and I'm ready right now. I just need the guy!" <shudder> I'm not surprised none of those guys ever came back.TooCool4Skool wrote:Now, if I was a guy, I would run away screaming.
