These Are The 27 Guys You Will Meet By 27
As I near the age of 27, I reflect upon the fact that I’ve been single for most of my life. Although this wasn’t always clear, it was because that’s what I wanted.
My reality was a result of choices and actions I made along the way. I’ve often written about not settling, and it’s something I’ve practiced in my everyday life.
I realize that the most exciting relationships I’ve had were the ones that weren’t serious.
And although I am open to the possibility of something beyond that, I’ve truly started to appreciate how much I’ve been able to explore within myself and other people outside of an exclusive relationship.
I’ve had a lot of experiences. Some heartbreaking, some weakening, some too funny not to share, and some impossible to forget.
So here are 27 guys your bound to encounter by 27.

So it’s not all bad.
For me, I’ve had a lot of the bad mixed in with the good. Sometimes there was a lot of good with a sprinkle of bad.
But I’ve grown from every relationship and tried to learn something from each one.
Do I think people are bad? Not all. I think good people can do bad things. I think good people can hurt people.
But what it comes down to is where we are with experiences, exploration, and self-discovery.
When you aren’t happy with yourself it reflects in how you treat other people. When you haven’t had enough experiences, you don’t always know what to do with the situations in front of you, especially if they are unfamiliar.
Perhaps it’s exploring all of the highs and lows that come with relationships that prepare us for someone we are eventually able to grow with and share true compatibility.
As I pointed out in my last article, you don’t need to be compatible to be in love. But you do need to be compatible to last or have real substance.
We are constantly changing and evolving and just because our timeline doesn’t match up with the person we are dating, doesn’t necessarily mean either person is worthy of being demonized.
Timing is a key component of a relationship. Our past experiences and how we treat ourselves will be a direct result of how we treat the relationships that come after.
So no matter your age or experience thus far, be grateful for each one. They matter and so do you.
Experience as much as you can while you can. Remove the negative stigma attached to being single.
Your journey is playing out just the way it’s supposed to.
