Is it time that I grew up and got married at the age of 21?

I am living with a couple guys in an apt. We are juniors and seniors in college. The other 3 guys all have steady gf's. They have all been dating for atleast a year. I got out of a realtionship about a year n a half ago and i have not looked back. I see how boring they have become. They have movie nights on fri and sat night. Thats what my parents do! My one roomates gf really ticked me off because she just barges into my room and is like listen we have to talk. She said that I should grow up and stop partying on the weekends. She said I have to find a nice girl and settle down with her. She then tried to force me to go with them to see "alvin and the chipmunks movie" I was like NO Im not under 12 and Im not over 40 thank you. She nagged on me the whole fricken day. I almost felt like I was in a realtionship and this really made me realize that Im not ready to be in one yet. So my fellow yahoo community should I "mature" and find a nice girl and

Update:

sit and watch cheesy movies tonight? Or should I hang around my other "immature firends who are never going to get a life" (as she so finely puts it) and go bar and club hopping tonight? What do you all think?

    Mr martini, i never thought there was a male version of me out there but alas i have found one, im 35, im a very good looking girl, my friends and family for that matter tell me i should be married with a dozen kids by now, but no no no, when im good and ready it will happen, because everyone in a certain age group has children and are married its normal, but society says ( or so they think) " you mean your 25 and have no babies or a wife, damn their freaks" .

    To hell with what people think or expect, im gonna do things my way and not what im expected to do, look we are here for a good time not a long time so make the most of it, and dont get stuck into a relationship or anything else simply because your expected too.

    Your only 21 for heavens sake, have fun, spread your genes, live in the fast lane, but overall enjoy every last minute.

    Merry christmas to ya and best wishes for the new year whatever it brings, lol pinky.

    Wow if you think at 21 you should be getting married, you are crazy! I'm almost 21 and I am not planning to get married, until at least 6-7yrs more. At that age you are still young and have a whole life ahead of you. I think the best time to get married is when people are done with school, actually have a stable job, and are more serious and committed about marriage life. When you are 21, I think you should still have fun while you can now because when you are married, you can't really have too much fun anymore. You shouldn't be rushing to get married because you want to make sure you are ready for it and have the right person for you.

    Oh fyi, most women at early 20s think about settling with a serious bf and think about marrying them soon. That's why most of them are desperate to find someone to be with because they are looking for potential husbands and serious long term relationships. Even my friend was like this. She was thinking about marrying her first bf. Now that they broked up, she is worried about being able to find another serious bf.

    What?? You've got your whole life ahead of you to get married! My sister is 21, and doesn't have a steady boyfriend either. Seriously, don't worry about it. And as for your friends girlfriend, stand up for yourself and tell her she doesn't control your life. She can live that way if she wants, but that doesn't mean you have to!

    Do remember, though, that drinking and partying does have a limit. Don't be the obnoxious friend nobody wants to be around because they are always totally drunk and stoned.

    Happy 21! Enjoy it.

    hope this helps! :D

    Dont settle down because one girl tells you too.If you want to hang out with your friends then go ahead.As long as your life is going in a steady direction education wise then go for it.Settling down will not come at the same age for everyone.

    tell her that its your choice!

    and if you want to find a girl that she didn't recommend that way she will stop.
