yea, no. you marry who you are attracted to, not who you grew up with. it may work out that some folks marry within the social area they are familiar with but plenty marry or socialize with others from varied parts of the country. I am from ny, my friends are from all parts of the country. west coast, great lakes, florida, east coast, Hawaii, everywhere.

don't limit yourself and think life is over because you never met and married some kid from grade school. life is too short for that. move on, be happy, explore life..when you are happy, comfortable and doing things you would be surprised at the options that open up to you.
