Must I get one?

Hmm... Some people say that I should get a boyfriend at my age (I'm 24 this year). Everytime when meeting some long-time-no-see friends or cousins who are about my ages and some ex-colleagues, they will be busy asking me whether I'm attached or not. Well, I would like to ask, "What rules say that a girl must get a boyfriend when she is in her 20's? " This is something interesting to come into discussion.

Man is man, only when he is living in the society. This is an interesting quote I read from an article about socialisation. Human cannot stay alone. Human needs companions and human lives in a society. So we live together in this world, with our parents and siblings, attend to schools and meet new friends, come to work field later meeting more people, and then we need to form a family to produce more next generation so that our species is not going to extinct.

Boys attracted to girls, and vice-versa, naturally. But must a girl be attached when she is in a so-called suitable age? What is the suitable age then? For me, I need to say that boys (actually not only boys, we girls too) will judge a person mostly by first impression. So, where comes the first impression? Basically, a person who is well-looking will gain more concentration from others. So they are more easily to meet their life partner. Therefore I do not stand a chance in this particular aspect. I'm just too simple and normal, not attracting at all, until no one will ever notice me.

Life is about chemistry. Another interesting quote from my lecturer during Monday class. (Seems like recently has been exposed to quite a lot interesting quotes.) You need to meet the right person at the right moment, then only the chemistry will happen and the two persons can be together. But the timing is actually something unpredictable. You will never know when is the best time to meet someone that can influence your life. Life is unpredictable. Future is unknown. You will never know what is going to happen next. It is not at my ability to control of when and how to get a boyfriend.

I browsed through some of my previous posts. I maybe confused with myself and some special person in my life at times. But I'm pretty clear about what is in my mind now. It is not the time and I haven't meet the person. So, my dear friend, there is nothing wrong if I am still remain single at my age of 24. Thanks for all your concern.
