I (29M) am still single and I have my life together however most of my friends are now married, have kids or on their second marriage and I still haven't had my first marriage yet and I feel like my time is running out and I have this pressure now of settling down with someone but finding someone who I am compatible with isn't easy and I am also focusing on my mental health. I don't know what to do, and I am always anxious.

I am in my late 20s, and I thought that by 20, I'd be engaged but that didn't happen, and I thought by 25 I'd be married however I was just starting my masters degree in Computer Engineering at that time, and now I am 29, still single never had a relationship and I've lived in the same country for the last 25 years. I did get my degree and now live with my lovely cat.

Since now I have my masters degree, I was thinking about moving to another country and working there. I was thinking Netherlands but honestly I could never do it because I held myself back, I am not sure why. Maybe because I was doing so well in my career, it would have been stupid for me to leave my job and find another one and it would have been hard in this economy.

I feel so lost in my life now and I'm getting old and I've never had the opportunity to live my life because I just studied and worked and honestly I really want to move to the Netherlands and start fresh for myself but I think I would be holding myself back because I want a long term relationship and if I delay finding someone then I feel like it will be too late.

I honestly don't know what to do with my life now.

I am 29 years old man and I am very grateful to have my life together, I've got my masters degree in IT, I am making a 6 figure salary, I live a lone in my own apartment with my cat, I've travelled to a few countries solo and with my family as well. I dress well, and groom myself trying to be the best version of my life.

I've done everything right however I've never had a serious relationship in my life, I've only had one casual encounter in my entire life. I want to meet someone and date however I just don't think I am ready right now and I still some time to figure out my life.

I've been still putting myself out there but I don't know if I'm ready to date at this time, because I want to continue with my therapy and learn more about myself and learn to love myself. I don't want to settle down with someone who won't make me happy or for the sake of it. Is it okay if I chose to settle down later, potentially into my mid to late 30s?
