Finding yourself/being respectful vs. Being more social?

I think that they are both important. But you don't need to be with someone to find out things about yourself. I think there are so many failed marriages in the U.S. because people are stupid and go for feelings over logic and end up in a situation they want to immediately get out of after realizing they married someone they can't get along with. I think your idea is good. You are obviously a smart girl and you know what's best. You'll graduate in your early/mid twenties and be one of those cool people who avoided being sucked into that downward spiral. After school you'll have plenty of time to figure out what you like and don't like in a guy and be a strong independent woman.
