It's a good sign that you're wondering if you're ready for a b/f. If you feel that you want that it's all good. Just be careful not to go too far too fast. At that age it feels like it will last a Lifetime, but the reality is 3 mos. and another 3 yrs. of heartache. But that's how you get better at relationships down the line. Take it light, have fun, go out, do stuff; just don't spend all you time in the bedroom. Relationships are about a LOT more than that. Yet it's also hard to resist at that age. (I know how I was, and maybe that's the farthest thing from your mind. All I'm saying is don't give too much away too fast.)

You can sit infront of a fishtank and be 20; that sounds old & boring\nto me!!!! Or you be 70 and aktiv!! It's all in your mind;just be yourself,\nand don't keep so much attention, what the media says.\nIf someone dies whith 30, most reaction: <What, that is so young age>.

I fell in love at the age of 5, and I still love "him" nowadays. Our love has blossomed even more and we're planning to get married soon.\n\n(I'm currently at the age of 18 right now, so yours is all ok for me... if it's not, i'm definitely worse than you.)

Hun, it doesn't matter how old you are, the way to a person's heart is by making them laugh & making them feel good about themselves.\n\nShow him how much you enjoy his company & talking to him, and you'll be surprised how quickly he will do the same.

30 isn't any different than 20 other than you are 10 years smarter,and age is what you make it. You are as young as you feel so make it count everyday.

20 is still young. Give it time before making such a serious commitment to someone. Some day you don't want to be in divorce court by acting so fast. If it is love it will with stand time...Nicky

You wont have a heart attack until you are over fifty.  Try to work on your weight and definitely kick the cigs.  Now you are young but you will regret not taking care of yourself when you are 40.  Good luck and hang out with slim, fun loving people!

30. You're past your immaturity, know what you want in life, and accept your past, and ready for your present. I'm only 22, so this is the age I think. I may change my mind when I turn 30, or a different age, lol.

1. Your children as they grow into young adults(19-25 years old).\n2. Your spouse, as you two hold each other up during your later years.

I'm 20 and my fiance is 21.. weird... same ages.. we've been together for 3 years and engaged 1.. we will have been engaged for 2 and together 4 when we get married next September. I don't think age is an issue.. you have to do whats right for you when you're ready, you can't put a time frame on love  :) if you and your boyfriend want to be engaged 20 years and have a 10 year honeymoon, by all means.. do it ... do whatever makes you happy.. life is too short to worry about what other people think =)  good luck

If you are refering to being married for 20 years, and you are middle aged (ie you got married around 20 to 25 years of age), nope, that's not a long time.  In fact, that's a farily short amount of time.\n\nThe average long term marriage usualy ends after 30 to 40 years, rare if it ever makes it past 40.\n\nSo, if that's not what your asking, you need to be a bit more specific :)\n\n******Addition*********\nSunflower below brought up a good point, however the connotation states that they don't exactly beleive that it happens; however, the concept of time does change when we get older.  \n\nTime moves much more differently for 20 year olds than it does for 40 year olds, at least in regards to perception.  For most people of advanced age, time is of course a constant, however it can drag on without end.  Defining who we are based on acheivements or milestones, isn't eactly how one can properly percieve time.  \n\nWhat we do with our lives, and what we do with our time in regards to ourselves, dictactes how we can properly percieve time.\n\n**********End Addition************\n**********Information based on additions by asker******\n\nAs your question has nothing to do with marriage, and middle aged means betweeen 35 and 45, i would surmies that 20 years is indeed a long stretch of time for such a person.  However, if you really consider what your asking, 35 years - 20 is 15 years old; the perception of time between a 15 year old and a 35 year old is vast.\n\n45 - 20 is 25 years old; the same holds true that the perception of time for a 25 y ear old person is much different than that of a 45 year old person.\n\n25-15 is simply a 10 year difference.  Because of this, we can surmies that man acheives several distinctions and refinements throughout the ages of 15-20, 25-35, and 35-45 with regards to how time is percieved.\n\nI supose this also has to deal with how we wish to see time.  If we lead a stagnet life, where nothing changes, that time itself isn't seen much different than when the stagnation began to show itself.\n\nHowever, if what we have been doing has drastically changed from age 15-35, then i would surmise that our perception also changes; one, for example, is the perception of time moving fast in highschool, and dragging in college.\n\nThe same premise holds true when you consider the ages of 35-45; if one's life has become stable, and predictable, then the perception of time from 35-45 would only changed when that life became stable, and anything thus after would be constant.\n\nI would also assume, however, that from the ages of 46 to old age, that time is also percieved differently.\n\nIf the routine changes, it is not impossbile that our perception of such a time will change.\n\nDo i blieve that 20 years is a long time for a middle aged man; that depends, is the question in relation to 20 years of monotony, or 20 years of constant change; either way it can be long time if it is taxing on the person.  However, monotony is percieved as a long stretch of time; and challenge or excietment is percieved as a fast movement of time.\n\nSo this really is subjective to the experiences, ect, of the person who is asking the question.

A female, age 53,could outlive her  63 yr. old husband by 12 years.  This of course  doesn't take into account any pre-existing medical conditions.\nRN
