THIS is how you meet quality people, Kid! Keep doing the right thing, and a quality person will come your way.
btw, why are you so fixated on marriage at such an early age? You're only a sophomore or junior in college, with plans for grad school. Dating isn't working out for you anyway, so why not put that on a back burner, as you focus on your studies? With top grades, you could get a scholarship to grad school. Someone else posted here that grad school is where you meet your future spouse. I think there's something to that.
And yes, quality people who share some of our interests and have the qualities we're looking for in friends and partners are not a dime-a-dozen. When you do find any, you hang onto them for life, because they're rare. I, too, tend to have friends scattered around the US and the world. Close friends where I live, not so much. That's just the way it's worked out. You're not alone in that regard.
Couldn't agree more about much of what Ruth has written. HKid, you do seem like a terrific person, I have faith when the time is right, you'll be snatch up. Focus on those studies, if a scholarship does come your way even better, but participating in humanistic activities is a pretty good gateway to meeting quality people regardless of their academia. So wish you and others that have a sincere desire for substance to find what you seek.
Thing is, is most people don't care about your needs. Even family sometimes. That's just how life works. People =****, it's a song, and it's pretty accurate.
There are some though.
I have a few friends who asked how I was doing and I asked the same.
It seems like a natural thing... caring about your friends.
I'm not saying the fact that nobody cares is a good thing, but why should they care? Other people don't owe you anything anymore than you owe something to others. Sometimes, my parents will make it sound as if I'm obligated to assist others and it really annoys me b/c it's not true and I know that, when I need assistance, I must rely on myself. Generally speaking, I'm a friendly enough person and will assist others (with things like job search, etc.) even if I don't know them that well, but it's certainly not out of a sense of obligation.
It's easy to say people are useless, don't care, etc. but times are very difficult these days and people have their own problems and concerns. Your problems are big to you but meaningless to others. If you keep in mind that nobody owes you anything and don't rely on others, then you're less likely to be surprised and or frustrated in your interactions with other people.
I have a ton of friends and find making new friends extremely easy. I came away with 6 different phone numbers (5 women and one gay man) when I went out for Halloween on Wednesday and 3 of them have texted me asking what I'm doing this weekend.
Now, romantic interests? That's much, much more difficult for me. I do believe there are a lot of good, quality single people out there, but from my experience they tend to stay at home or only interact with a few close friends.
