I'm a 23 year old woman. I'm graduating from college by Christmas.
In the future, I really would like to get married, and most people marry someone they met in high school or college. There's no one at my college that I've met that I can see a future with. How hard is it to find your soulmate when you're out of school?

but the problem is that finding someone is not easy. believe me i know. it's hard to find a person to like, and then even harder to talk to them. because often times you'll be someplace and someone will walk in, and you have maybe a 20 minute window to say something to them before they leave. and if you don't say it you'll prolly never see em again. and the problem is they're just as scared of saying something as you are (most people don't have the guts to do anything) and it goes nowhere. finding someone is tough. and sure you could meet someone anywhere. work, school, the gas station it doesn't matter people are everywhere. but meeting them is the obstacle.

I found him where i worked, you never know where your going to meet the love of your life but dont stress yourself out. You have to make yourself happy before you get to have someone else make you happy! [ kaydence's advice column | Ask kaydence A Question ]

I didn't think it was hard at all to find him.
I think a good way to find a good man is through friends or loved ones. It also helps in the department of 'Is he a good guy or not?' because friends and loved ones will tell you if he is a bad seed.
Also, a lot of folks meet at places like night clubs, coffee shops, book stores, and at work, as Michele said, among many other places.
Were there are people hanging out, there are bound to be singles.
Michele answered Thursday June 21 2007, 8:44 am: Oh I think your chances are great. And actually, nationwide, most people meet their future spouses at work. Once you are working in your choosen career, you automatically have something in common with your co-workers. Your careers. And there is so much to talk about. Your college experience vs. their's. why you chose this career, etc, etc. One great way to ensure longevity in a relationship is the have many things in common. And if you are passionate about something, and find someone who is passionate about the same thing, you will both be very happy. Too many couples who married in high school, find out when they are in the 30's that the only thing they have in common is their marriage, (and maybe kids) but now they both have interests in other areas. They grow apart. I think your marriage will have a better chance of surviving. Some people don't find their "soul mate" until very late in life. YOu have everything to look forward to. So what will make you very attractive to the opposite sex is confidence. Good luck to you and congratulations on graduating from college.
