My mother (An ESTJ, no less!) and I had a conversation the other day about men and relationships. She told me that while this is something I did not want to hear, that guys around my age (The 18-24 age bracket) are just not looking for anything serious at this time of their lives, and just want to have fun. I am a romantic at heart, so as you can imagine, I felt a little down hearing that. I am about to be 20 years old in less than 5 months, so basically... It'll be 5 years till the guys around my age start to desire a more serious relationship and prepare themselves for marriages. I say 5 years because my mom and dad told me that guys start to mature a little at the age of 25 and upward... I guess they're mostly right. :sad:
So, while I will not reject every single guy that would like to take me out on a date, I've decided that I should take a 5 year break from relationships. Before this, I was once in a long term relationship that lasted a little over a year, and another relationship that lasted merely two months... So, no, I'm not a super virgin in the dating world or anything. :crazy: Anyway... Well, I hope that I get a job real soon as an office clerk and work my way up in the business world over the years as I go. I would also like to experience life more... For example, I've always wanted to travel out of the country, so that's one thing I'd like to do. I'd like to learn different languages, and learn to play electric/acoustic guitars as well as bettering my already okay singing abilities. Maybe discover myself better, and try out a religion or two for size. :laughing: Basically, do all the things I'd like to do, but couldn't if I was in a serious relationship...
What do you guys think?
roud: What else should this gal do in the next 5 years till she prepares herself for serious relationships/marriage?
