We have friends getting engaged and married and my girlfriend is dropping hints about wanting to get married and planning things 5-10 years down the road.
I am kind of freaking out and miss the single life from time to time. I like my own time and miss the chase. I wanted to be 100% convinced this is the girl for me, and I used to think that when we were doing the long distance. The last thing I wanted was to lose her. Now that we live together I am probably the furthest away from wanting to get married to her than I have been in over a year.
Part of me worries that I have a grass is greener mentality right now and I will regret things if I were to become single, and I also don't want to be going back into the game in my late 20's/early 30's.

Don't take this the wrong way but your story is similar to mine other than the long distance. I ended up separated because I was never 100% truly happy. Yes you have to work at it, but it shouldn't be a chore, it should be something you want to work on. You need to really re-evaluate what you want. There are pros and cons to both, but being single in your late 20s and early 30s is not the end of the world, it is more normal now than b4. It is also not hard to find girls in this city because there are lots of losers in this city.
