[quote=Anonymous]I got serious about dating to marry when I was about 20. It's not that unusual. She's trying to figure it out. I would tell her that college is when you practice relationship skills and discover what relationship styles you're compatible with. And learn what to avoid. So she should go ahead and do that. And then also tell her that the men worth having are very, very unlikely to be interested in marriage at this age. Therefore she should focus on her education and career, and date as a way of learning. Obsessing about marriage is a great way to frighten guys her age, so maybe she'll actually date less because of it. The problem is she may end up with some 35-year-old creeper who's way too online. Not sure what to do about that other than tell her he's a leftover and it would be settling.[/quote]
