wow, you talk like you are an old maid or something :). you are just starting to come to the age where marriage is a more reasonable. it's good to not always follow the trends. living life, serving Jehovah and being happy-there is nothing loser-ish at all about that.

btw my first b/f was when I was 18 and I def wasn't as ready as i thought i was. he wasn't the right person either, but that's a whole other story.
