so...just found out that 2 more of my friends are engaged, and if what i just read on facebook is right, add another couple to the list

Mars, honey, Miami is NOT the place to meet anyone worth keeping-- though flukes do happen. I had to import mine!
Don't worry about it; there is no behind. One of my best friends only met her husband (the *perfect* match for her) when she was 32! They're only *now*talking about kids-- she's just turned 38 and he's hitting 40 later this year. They've only felt now is the right time-- and it is!
Also, note: take her shopping for the ring when the time comes. She'll appreciate having the input, and you'll make sure to get something she likes! (mine, for example, has an emerald instead of a diamond-- I picked it out, and I LOVE it!)
Pfft! If I am coerced into getting a ring, Chris has to pick it out. I already know who I am and what I like, and I have never needed to tell other people who I am, but if I end up with a ring (a Ring, even, in true Tolkien fashion), I want it to represent HIM. Also, I'd get so paranoid about the price that I'd end up picking something plastic. On the other hand, when I said I'd prefer my ring represent him, I did not mean that it involve naked woman. I feel I have to issue that caveat, because with Chris, you never know.
Anyway, I sort of understand what you're saying. I mean, yes, I have a very long term relationship, so in that way, I guess I'm "on track", but we've been dating for almost six years, and we're still not married. And that's not Chris being scared of commitment, either. That's both of us. And it makes me wonder, because a lot of married people I know have known each other for less time than Chris and I have been dating, much less have known each other. How does that work out? How are they ready, and we haven't been? I have friends with kids, and we're still not married. And then I wonder, am I ready to have kids? The answer is always a resounding no. I feel like I'm still a kid myself. Then again, I am still sometimes amazed that I have actually moved out of my parents' house. How am I even old enough for THAT? What do you mean, I can legally drink? And vote? Please.
