I think it is harder to find a true, solid love without some experience and background. There will be lots and lots of branches up ahead for your tree so finding something during the "trunk" time will make it harder to navigate the branching. Higher education, jobs/careers, the other person's family and difficulty of establishing a home together, perhaps with children, are big branches less than 10 years away. But as spal says, the big thing is the guy. Love isn't one-way, that's only infatuation.
