My mum thinks I've "always got a new boyfriend" when I reality I've had 5 (and I'm nearly 26 so it's hardly groundbreaking). It's just because in her day you basically settled down with the first guy you went out with (she's been with my dad since they were 17,and were married by my age). In reality it makes more sense to make sure you're a compatible match to the guy, which invariably means dating quite a few to find the right one... Nothing wrong with it.
