I think that when someone makes finding a partner their biggest goal in life then that’s a waste of time, because they aren’t putting nearly as much time and dedication into other, more important areas of their life. But do I think it’s a waste of time to wait for the right person? Definitely not.
The problem is that patience is so rare now a days. Everything has to catch on fast, whether it’s how quickly your app downloads, how quick someone “gets to the point” in a video they post, how soon until the next szn of a show comes out. Even with dating, for many people everything is always now now now. It’s ok to slow down and be patient, because look where that haste got your friend — in and out of shitty relationships.
As we get older, dating, pursuing, investing, it gets tiresome and we just wanna be done with it all and find our person already. So if she wants to wait rather than settle then hey, I wish her luck. As her friend you don’t have to agree with her choices, you’d even have to actively support it. Just respect her journey, because all these choices are part of it.

The problem with waiting for Miss/Mr Perfect is that Miss/Mr Perfect doesn’t exist. Everyone has flaws, and everyone has vices, differences of opinions and different values. But I do have a handful of questions:
Conflict is inevitable in relationships…how well does she do in the face of conflict?
She’s been on a lot of dates but no relationships. Why? All I know is that she is the common denominator, so what’s the issue?
There are plenty of good men in this world. What is her definition of a good man? Do these kinds of men consider her to be a good woman?
Is marriage and family something she truly wants, or is she just being pressured by her family? What is she doing to present to the world that she is someone worth pursuing?
i sure hope not, im already too far invested into it

You are essentially correct and she’s at an age where she should know better. You should not live your life waiting for anyone - you should be living your life and if life takes you to that person then evaluate it
