So who is with you in Korea, or are you alone?

I'm here with a wife and 2 very young children.

I want to get married eventually (before 30). I'm turning 25 next year and dread the thought of being 25 and single.

Thanks for opening up wounds, bitch! Laughing

Really? I was single at 25 and it was great!

Not for me. I'm old fashioned in that way.

It's probably because my parents didn't get divorced!

I fail to see the connection. My parents didn't get divorced either, but I have no interest in getting married before I'm 30.

Same for me, my parents are still together.

I very much enjoyed being single but I also enjoy being in a serious relationship. Both are okay for me, I'm in no rush to get married, i'm 28.

Wow, this is some faulty logic here. Trust me, having a goal to get married by a certain age is probably more likely to end in divorce than just taking things as they come.

Anyways, how did this poll close so quickly? I'm here with a boyfriend from home.

I didn't close the poll. I left the option date blank as it said I should. i'll check it.

edit
Hmm, I dont' know. I don't know how to edit the poll itself, only posts. Damn, I was surprised by what I was seeing...(more children than I thought there would be.)

Strangely enough, the poll is open on the two redundant threads....

hey Mods? Any suggestions?

I see more votes have been added--maybe it's just my computer? I guess I don't get to contribute my vote. This is exactly what I'm worried about in the US elections! Neutral

Came here alone, am not anymore. Kind feel like this place is happenstance and I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I'm not sure I would have stayed on longer if I hadn't found a partner, as lame as that may sound.

It sure helps when things are tough, but I'll never forget that I came here alone. That says something I think. that I'm antisocial maybe? Laughing
