[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The older people I meet who don’t date/never married seem very fussy and particular. I think they prefer life alone and not having to share. Not how I’d like to live personally, but some people are like that.[/quote]
+1  Most people aren't meant to be an island, but if she's happy with her friends then let her be.

I'm not a huge social person. I really like my alone time.

But, I do think that being too close to your parents at this age is a red flag, though.  They are not going to live that much longer, then what? Your social connection shrinks. Who will she go on vacations with?[/quote]

I am a PP. Not everyone goes on vacation. I hate them. I only go to the beach 4 days a year for the kids. I have not taken an actual vacation since 2008. Also, many people travel alone if they like taking vacations. That is really not a worry. I am sure she has friends when her parents die. My parents never took a non-kid vacation and since I left home at 17--and I am now 47--they have not went on vacation in 30 years. This is a very priveledged site. My grandparents literally never went on vacation. People don't "need" vacations. Friends can be like family. [/quote]
