Axle,
So here is the "bright side" to all this deep thinking and wondering what path to take (and yes, hitting "milestone" ages tends to bring all these thoughts to the surface). Had you followed so many others and leaped into a relationship early on (even a marriage lets say) and found yourself unhappy and discouraged at this "point" in your life, you might be facing a painful, ugly divorce and/or breakup. As discouraged or even somewhat lonely as you my might be today... it's much, much worse going through a gut wrenching divorce/break up. So be thankful you waited to sort out your life and relationships. You are much wiser now that you've had some time to yourself and have a better idea what will or will not make you happy. Don't worry about it too much, someday the right "person" (hopefully someone who you'll feel is your soul mate...) will cross paths with you, and hopefully will "knock your socks off" with strong emotions that will not have you questioning the next phase of your life.
