funny  how people suddenly turns  marriage counselor, psychiastric or psuedo dai didi or deep analyzer for simple question. Yes 24 is right age to look for if not immediate marriage otherwise 25,26,27.... before you know it's  too late. Biological clock does not wait friends, sympathy or plus minus. It's all up to you when you feel like and when you think it's right. You're looking for some connection to start, mr. 100% right is not the initial target but desired goal, understood clearly so initiate something all over. Sending text email  is not like face to face so kick the shyness and be brave .
