If a girl was 24, shy, quiet, inconfident small and cute but still living with her parents and still going on holidays with them what would you think? Would it put you off? Its not about me im just wondering.

Can't you live life with your family? As long as they don't mind. Im in a similar situation lol being 22 Ive never even had a bf or anything and its so hard to make new friends. The problem is me but I don't know what Im doing wrong, I go out at nights sometimes but we just end up sitting down all night, talk then go home.

Not really, your life is miles different when you move out. Your confidence and personality change loads.

It would depend on why they're living at home.

If it's because they're studying or saving up to move out, that's normal.
If it's because they're afraid to grow up and do things for themself, that's sad.

Same for either gender.

Sounds nice. Wouldn't put me off unless there was some other factor, such as living with her parents due to some kind of weird religious ideology/mentalisticity/latent fascism.

But I'd suggest getting out and exploring the world a bit, purely because it's a really awesome world out there to explore.

I wouldn't see anything wrong with it - probably because I see myself being like that when I'm 24! I don't see why suddenly once you're 16 or whatever it's not the done thing to go on holiday with your family either.

were talking about 24 not 16. I suppose as long as she had a certain level of independance, such as a job or career then its fine. Besides if no guy will have her then shes never going to be confident or independant.

I've been thinking about this a lot as I have a dear friend who is 25 and still lives at home. She lived at home all through uni and commuted whenever she needed to be in for lectures which was quite a trek! Whilst doing her A-Levels she was working part time at a supermarket which she has now been doing for 10 years, merely stepping up to full time hours when she graduated uni. She's a bright girl but is shy and seems scared to step out on her own.. I never know how to approach it or whether I even should! I moved out when I was 16 and haven't looked back, I just know she'd come in to her own if she moved out.

Moving out from home is one of the hardest things youll ever do in your life. I went away to uni 2 years ago, and even though i rent a house at uni, theres always still 'home' to come back to during the holidays. I think when i actually get a place of my own and everthing, thats when ill fell like ive actually left home.

So, your friend is 25. Im 20 now, and assuming i get my own place as soon as i finish uni, will be 21, as i assume most people would be as well. As far as it goes, 21 isnt that far away from 25. And indeed i know some people who will still be in education untill they are 25 (medics mostly), so at the end of the day, 25 really dosent seem to be that 'old' to still be living at home.

I think the problem here is that she lived at home for uni, and so never rented a place for herself + mates. I see uni accomodation as kinda half-moved out, as your there for term time but back home for holidays. Id expect moving strights froma t home all the time to your own place all the time is very hard!

At the end of the day, hopefully she'll meet a nice guy who wants to get a place with her, and that will make moving out alot easier.
