I must dispute. Our educational system went to pot 50 years ago. Decent parenting went out the window before that. There are no eligible women or men in today's world. My suggestion to all of them is masturbate, and get a roommate. Forget about having kids and forget about relationships. This goes double if you are a guy. Most women these days are carrying at least one of the 250 plus sexually transmitted diseases that the CDC monitors. Its not unusual for a woman to be a walking zombie rotting from the inside out and most disturbingly, think its normal. If she is pretty, odds are she is a whore. That does not mean she won't pretend to be a nice girl and marry you, but odds are greatly in favor you are sharing her with a pimp and 5-25 other guys that support her and her pimp (not to mention 20 other women and 500 other men). You are still early in your career and you don't need this significant financial and time investment that could derail your life and your health. You don't need co-dependence, you need independence. Most importantly of all, this is not the world you want to bring children into.
If you feel a strong desire for a woman, she has hypnotized you. They don't need to wave a watch in front of your face to hypnotize you. It takes seconds and can be done clandestinely. If you desire her, she is exactly the wrong one for you.
