When is a girl too old to get married?
What if you never find the one? is it wrong to settle for someone parents have choosen?
Re: over the hill...
I dont think marrying someone your parents choose is settling. I really honestly believe that whoever you marry, is in your kismat, whether its a love marriage or an arranged marriage by your parents. Just because your parents choose someone for you to marry, doesnt mean you are going to be less happy than if you found that person yourself. I know people who have had arranged marriages (spouse chosen by parents) and they are very very happy, and I know people who have had love marriages who are very happy. But then again, there are people who are not happy in arranged marriages, and people who are not happy in love marriages.
There is a time for everyone. It is never too late for anyone to get married. I know a lady who got married at 42 (never married before), and she is quite happy. so there is no "right" age.
Just have faith that Allah will guide you towards whats right for you.
Re: over the hill...
Our priorities and needs change as time goes by. Just because you may have changed what you're looking for in a spouse, doesn't mean you're settling. Perhaps you are a bit more flexible about some things. But that's not a bad thing.
No matter how you find someone (through your parents or on your own), the question to ask is whether this person can be a partner in life for you and can build a home with you to support the kind of lifestyle you want to lead. If that's the case, then go for it!

She is too old at 21. Anything beyond that is unacceptable.

Re: over the hill...
This is marriage. Not a nikkah. Nikkah at 16 is perfect.

^ Posthumous marriage - I think it’s possible in the US or UK. I believe I read an article about it a while back

Its Never too late. The prophet SAW married Hazrat e Khadijah when she was at age of 40, and at 40 She had Children too.
Point is ..Its never late, and ONLY that happens what is in your Qismat and What Allah Almighty wills for you.
Re: over the hill...
It's never too late and it's never wrong to marry someone you're parents chose (unless they chose someone who is forbidden to you in marriage.)
Re: over the hill...
its never too old. it's all about finding The person you Want to marry. if you're just settling for someone who your parents chose.. well.. are you at least excited about that guy? if not, its not worth it
Re: over the hill…
As long as you’re just over the hill…and not 6 feet under it…s’all good.

Oh and, as AuntyNumber1, stated above..........if you ARE going to marry someone chosen/recommended by your parents .....along with compatibility.....it does help to be "into" the person....and for that sentiment to be mutual.

Re: over the hill...
Never choose who your parents choose. Marriage is over-rated. Start doing other things instead of looking for the 'right' one. Seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH LIVING ALONE?
