However, be aware that most people have a very imperfect idea of what they really need in a relationship at this age. People get married, and about half of them eventually get divorced, usually for reasons of outright incompatibility. Of the ones who do not divorce, probably a large percentage are staying together out of inertia ("This relationship is not good, but it could be worse, I suppose"), fear ("No one else will ever want me"), or a misplaced sense of loyalty ("He/she treats his/her dog/cat better than he treats me, but he's/she's never given me an explicit reason to leave.")
My LII sister (who is on the "caregiver-care-receiver" sexual axis with LSE's, and with whom shares the very mutual Ti-dom-Te-dom natural attraction) was working in a health food store, and an LSE waltzed in with his work buddy and they started dancing to the muzak and she said "He's the one." (She mistook a beer at lunch for Fe) and she started heavy flirting with him.
Unfortunately, he was married with two kids.
Fortunately, he didn't like his wife and kids.
Unfortunately, LSE are traditional and are really slow to move.
Fortunately, she was persistent and sexually available and super-compatible with him.
Unfortunately, he left his wife and kids and started living with her, and they discovered some significant differences.
Fortunately, they got along well enough (see above) and were married and are now living as a Mirage partnership, which has its moments but is not ideal.
Moral of the story: Yes, most of the LSE you meet will probably be married. But, like anyone in a bad marriage that was undertaken when they were too young and stupid, they can be pried away by someone who is closer to their dual. So, be that dual, and be careful out there.
