There's this woman at work, most of my co-workers are typically in their mid to early 20s. Most have sig others and stuff, others single, however there was this new hire that is only 19 years old.
Anyways, this woman/girl at work is only 19 years old. Found out there casual conversation she's married. Even confirmed it actual wedding photos. Found it hard to believe at first, because...really? Who has the desire to marry that young, right? She said they knew each other since middle school.
When I was that age, I had no desire for marriage. Shoot as was too awkward and shy around women at 19 actually and at that age, I was just getting my feet wet dating.
Let's just say my desire to date in high school was slim to none. I liked women, but the idea of me dating in high school...I was too shy and scared for that. Never went prom nor had a home coming date.
Also, at that age, I knew that there had to be more options to explore as much as this big world explore. Time to grow.
I found that marrying that young statistically leads to divorce much quicker. Even back in the day, these stats were out.
I recall when I used to hang out at the arcade, a high school couple would always come in there. Word had it that they planned on marrying right after they graduated high school. Turns out, they were both Christians going to the same church.
I'm like 'Um...why?!"
This is my thinking, "You honestly think you're high school sweet heart, the ONLY person you've EVER been with romantically is destined to be your life long partner and spouse? Think about it? You mean you've never thought that maybe you should explore your options first?"
Though this is a singles portion other site, I'm givinng a single man's perspective who was once that age, and remembers at that age the desire to run down the isle was never on the map for me. Why would it be for them?
