What is the best way to go about a baby and getting married?
Im 22. I feel like i might be single for the rest of my life or atleast never love anyone like i loved my ex. My ex was no good, so i left him 8 months ago. Im still not over him we were together for two years and went through alot together. I had an abortion when he got me pregnant. I regret it alot sometimes but then sometimes not. What is the best way to just forget about my ex all together. Find someone new and good who i like alot? Just give it time? Dont look for it right? And im starting to feel like im getting older and should have a baby soon, or am i just thinking that? Some people tell me, well you dont want to be an old mom, so now i feel like im on a time limit, once again im 22. What do you think?

Hi... i'm sorry for your struggle, and the experience with your ex.... i hope you know that, most people at 22 are not experiencing their final relationship, and it takes some time to find someone we connect with and with whom we share that special chemistry.
If you're not over your last relationship, maybe it's because you're struggling with too many thoughts about it, and you're not doing things to distract yourself and move on to the next chapter in your life. Spending time with friends, family, getting involved in some activities and even starting a hobby are all good ideas...
There is also nothing wrong with dating, meeting a few guys. Just because you go out with someone a few times, doesn't mean you're "in a relationship"... it means you're looking for a POTENTIAL relationship. In my experience, and more often than not, a date or two or three is just that -- dating. Most men don't appeal to me on the "partner" level and through observation, i can usually tell whether i'm into their life values or not, and if i want to consider seeing them to make discoveries about them.
Anyway, nothing wrong with accepting some dates, and getting out to meet other people. There is a social website, meetup.com, which might help you do just that. It's not a dating site -- it's about people forming groups to get to know others with similar interests or just to make new friends. You might want to check into it. The larger your community, the more diversity of groups you will find. It's worth a try
You are only 22, and have many years to have children. Having children is something we need to do with a man who loves and respects us and who accepts us for who we are. you'll find him, i'm sure. Just give it some time and take good care too!
You might also want to do your internet research on Surviving a Break Up... .Loads of good advice out there!

Many points are unanswered. Were you married your ex officially? If yes, have you taken legal divorce? Whatever may be. Now forget the past and begin the life as though nothing was happened. If you were legally married your ex husband, firstly take the divorce and then marry someone good with care. Why do you think that you are old and you will have to live your rest of the life alone when you are just 22.

Honey, you ARE still so young, you have yrs. ahead of you to think of getting married & having a baby. You want to be able to enjoy life first. When you think of your ex, miss him, think of the things he did against you, the things he did that hurt you. THEY are the things you want to remember of him. By doing that, you surely won't be missing him nor all the things he did that hurt you the most. Honey, do know there is a special someone out there just for you. A someone who WILL giving you the loving happiness your heart could desire. You'll meet him when you least expect it. He's out there, you WILL meet him. Keep going forward with your life. Put the past in the past, leave it all there. Your past will forever be gone, but your future is still your own. Know that the best IS yet to come & it WILL...:)

Don't pressure yourself! Yes, finding a new person definitely helps with moving on, but don't feel pressure to have a baby- you have plenty of time to be a young mom! You don't want to rush into anything with the wrong guy. Meet new people, don't have a baby until you're sure you've got a good guy- wait at least two years with him, it's a good standard.

The best way is to find a husband first & to do that you have to date. To date you have to get out & meet guys instead of sitting around wondering how to get a husband & baby.

First find someone that you love, and he in turn loves you. Then you get married. Then you prepare emotionally and financially to have a baby. Then you have a baby !!!

OK, you sound like you're contradicting yourself. You feel like you'll never love anyone like your ex but he was no good? So you loved a no gooder?
