There are plenty of young women who come to college conditioned by their families that unless they are married or engaged by 22, they should resign themselves to being an old maid. As a result, a lot of girls start husband shopping the minute they get to freshman orientation... only to find that the guys that were the relationship-type in HS have ditched their sweeties to sow some wild oats, and that with a very few rare exceptions, you won't find true love over brews at the fraternity party.

That is true, especially here in the south. There is plenty of time to find the right man. It's not like we're living in the 1950s, thank God. During that time, if you weren't married by age 25, you're considered old. I'll be 24 in a couple of weeks, and I haven't found a man yet. Do I consider myself old? I think not. Now, I've been impatient a few times because I've seen many couples of campus and many of my friends have boy or girlfriends, and I was jealous and desperate, but I have learned to value myself first before I can value others.
