No, don't fear, ladies of The Flood (all, like, three of you), not me. Edited into title.
Over Christmas, a good friend of mine got engaged. She was actually into me at one point, but alas (for her) I didn't feel the same way. Feels kinda weird now that she's going to marry another guy, but maybe that's only because they've known each other for all of 7 months.
Anyway, that's another friend of mine engaged. Which means I now know at least six couples engaged in the last few years (and some before). And five of them are of my generation. That's scary. I guess I'm just getting to that age now. I mean, even if I've never been in something for more than a few months, I've certainly been a young adult for five years, and my friends are all roughly that age too, so I guess it makes sense, being in relationships for that long. Ish.
The good news is, I'm not alone. Let's just hope it works.
How many people do you know taking the next step? Does it (not freak you out, but just) make you realise your age when relationships and lives start to develop?

A good mate of mine is 19 and just get engaged to his girlfriend of 4 years, asking me to be best man at his wedding next year. Feels so weird, I couldn't imagine getting married until at least my late 20s when I've settled into a career, have a home and feel like I'm ready to settle down. My girlfriend's 21 in a few months and starting her career as a teacher next year (that's going to be weird, I only left school in summer and if we're together then I'll be a 2nd year Uni student with a girlfriend who's a school teacher) so if we stay together long term I'm guessing she'd feel more ready for it than I am in a few years, so not sure what I'd do there. Don't think I could. I'd move in with a girlfriend after Uni if we've been together long enough though.
