From a few books,a retreat & conversations lately:
1) If you want a good Catholic wife/husband - pray for them 10minutes a day. Especially things you want them to have - ie, not to create this imaginary wonderful person in your mind, but to recognize things about yourself that you need & things from people you have dated that you like/don't.
* Therefore - Know YOurself. Look at yourself, your strengths, weaknesses & pray for yourself. Motivate yourself in that, if you are asking God to provide you with a good person with certain things...maybe you need to work on some things as well.
2) If you are ready to find your spouse - know that God will not leave you hanging. Trust in Him. For God did not let Adam loose in the Garden, but he created Eve for Adam, at the right time, when he saw that it was good. (This can be the hardest for all of us -waiting).
3) Where to find 'em? Attend Church things such as Young Adult functions, Mass, Lectures, Seminars, etc. What are things you like - join groups like Sports/running/soccer clubs, book clubs, go to places you like - parks, coffee shops, libraries, museums...etc!

Don't be like every other girl...Wear those converses.
Seventeen article: It's grrreatt!
So when it comes to Saturday night, my biggest suggestion is this: to stay away from the super skimpy clothing that a lot of girls tend to wear. When we go out barely covered up, we encourage boys to not even look us in the eyes. Sometimes guys at my school are rude and refer to scantily-clad girls in derogatory ways, like "boy bait." I don't want that to happen to you. Dress chic, ladies, not cheap!
Just be yourself, and let all that creative, pent-up energy inside of you cut lose. Separate yourselves from the skimpy night dwellers. Be brave — haha, I don't know, wear feathers in your hair or something! Oh! and rock a sassy pair of shades. If you're bored with the usual party combo (dark jeans/silk top/black stilettos) then be different! Saturday nights out on the town are a great chance to meet people ... so make their jaws drop, but on your own terms.
