You're young. You can't even begin to imagine what you will start to find attractive in the next ten years. I had a friend in college who had THE girl. Fun, outgoing, pretty, but my friend was worried over the fact that she just wanted to go to a juco, and really be his wife. So he dropped her for an ambitious girl that went to our school, looked just like the first, except a little smaller, acted like the first, except a little more jealous and less fun, who also wanted to be his wife, but with a four year degree.
So, instead of looking for somebody unique, he ended up with a less vivacious re-tread of his previous girlfriend. They married almost immediately after he graduated. Date around, and if takes 10 more years to develop a soulmate, all the better for waiting rather than trying to make a clone.
