I’m in my early 30’s and single. Women in their 30’s would frequently get asked by some people about when they are planning to get married. (This is changing a lot though, many of them realizing how terrible it is to be questioned like this frequently, lol.)
I was always doubtful of the idea that marriage was necessary. So, before this year, I thought I would live single forever, but I’m actually leaning towards the idea that getting married might be better.
I’m someone who hang out with a few close friends, instead of enjoying going to a gathering or some party. Now that many of my friends are married, I definitely feel kind of lonely.
I wish I could meet someone soon, who I can just spend time with, just like best friends.
Having a companion in life who you can trust and lean back on will be a good thing after all.
I’m in my early 30’s and single.
Natives often use an apostrophe in this way. It’s also very common with initialisms (e.g. We have several UPSs at work). I’ve even seen this on signage, so maybe it’s a natural change in language. However, it’s not correct.
Women in their 30’s woulds frequently get asked by some people about when they are planning to get married.
Using ‘would’ implies there is a precondition. You’re just stating a fact so it’s not needed.
‘By some people’ is a given, so it’s more natural to omit it.
‘About’ would be used to modify a noun (e.g ‘He asked about my interests’) when you use a question word like ‘when’ it’s not needed.
I was always doubtful ofed the idea that marriage was necessary.
‘Doubtful’ is used to describe something which is doubted: ‘His alibi is extremely doubtful’.
So, before this year, I thoughtI used to think I would livbe single forever, but I’m actuallythis year I’ve started to leaning towards the idea that getting married might be better.
I’ve just made this more natural.
I’m someone who likes to hang out with a few close friends, instead of enjoyingrather than going to a gathering or some party.
You could put ‘someone who hangs out with a few’ too but I think the above is more natural.
‘Instead’ is kind of emotionally neutral, ‘rather’ implies that you prefer one over the other.
Now that many of my friends are married, I definitely feel kind of lonely.

The idiomatic phrase is ‘lean on’. ‘Lean back on’ sounds like you’re literally leaning on the person.
