That’s a whole different problem, not a problem that should affect your life. People of every circles get married and I don’t think that’s an issue that should be looked upon when making a decision as of when to start dating. You’re at a very “changing” age and making the right decision without being influenced by the outside world is very difficult. You also seem to be very versatile, building a plan would be a first step, it’s easier to follow plan that’s restricting than no plan at all.
