Your problem is you're almost 21 and she's 18. She shouldn't be tied down, and the fact that "everyone she knows," people that love her, are telling her this should make you realize that you might have been too serious with a girl that was simply too young. Let it go, and don't lose sleep over this.
I have an 18 year old sister who had a boyfriend for almost 2 years until they recently broke up. Guess what I was thinking when I'd hear from my mom that she wanted to marry her boyfriend some day? "Oh crap," she's only dated 2 different guys and somehow she's already met the man of her dreams? Silly girl, she doesn't know what's best for her. So, my family would encourage her to let her boyfriend know it was time for them to take a break so she could see other people. Now they've broken up and she's much happier. You should understand this as you're much older.
Above all, I can't stress enough the point I made in my first paragraph. Her family, people she knows, wants what's best for her, which apparently isn't what's best for you. Even though it hurts, you need to rise above this and put yourself back on the market! Oh, but don't tell girls any pity stories, stay positive! Also, younger girls will be less likely to give you what you need. Good luck.
