[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess I just don't really understand young people anymore! LOL that sounds so old. But what I mean is, if you meet someone you're wildly attracted to, the sex is great, you get along so well with them and all of their friends, they have a good job and education, you're hanging out every night anyway, why wouldn't you want to try a "serious" exclusive arrangement?

This idea that you shouldn't settle down till your late thirties is just odd to me. It's so arbitrary. [/quote]

You know my twenty seven year old son was one of those guys who just didn't want a serious relationship, in fact, he just stopped dating and put all his time and energy into his personal friendships (male and female) and his professional life.  I didn't understand because he is successful and attractive, made no sense to me.  Then a few months ago he showed up for a dinner with the family and brought a date, it just happened.  He met her during a business trip and he couldn't get her out of his head (at least that's what he told me).  Thankfully she is lovely and seems to be very good to him, so we are thrilled.  But I will say this about your niece, she has to stop hooking up if she wants a serious relationship.  I hear my son and his friends banter about this when they are at our house, none of them want a girl who is loose and sleeps around.  Seriously, I asked them about this after listening to some relationship show on NPR one morning and I found them very entertaining and insightful.  They said they had their whoring around days when they were in college and aren't interested in that anymore.  They find it childish and have distanced themselves from the friends they knew who sought that out weekend after weekend.  If she is as lovely as you describe, she has to regroup and quite simply, play hard to get.[/quote]

FWIW, women don't want to form serious relationships with guys who are still sowing their wild oats, either.
