I think that finding a husband in Graduate School is a great goal! Totally doable for sure, and while that ticking biological clock sounds pretty intense to me as a laid back man, I think most everyone understands that many women start to feel it in their mid 20s. Just a part of how the universe works, right? However, focusing on getting married might place too much pressure on everything. Think about it this way: Say you are on a first date with some oblivious guy who finally plucked up the courage to ask you out after some serious flirtation. If you are super goal-oriented, and constantly thinking about marriage, then you will probably be more stressed out about the future and what everything means. There will be a latent thread through all your interactions with him that say "You're nice and all, but where is this heading? Because my clock is ticking buddy..." If you are feeling this, he will probably pick up on it. It sounds like you know some stuff that is great about yourself. Now you just need to go find someone who you actually think is great, not just someone who "fits the bill because somethings gotta give." There are as many ways to catch a man as there are cures for hiccups. If all else fails, just wear low cut tops... Now, I'm not saying you should act like someone you aren't, because for a marriage to work best, you should probably both understand eachother and like eachother's genuine selves. Also, despite a little intensity, you sounds heaps cool, so why mess with that too much, right? I'm in my late 20s, not married, grain of salt, etc. Also, never ever ever let anyone treat you poorly because your are feeling desparate and out of options. You still are young, and even though your forcasting sounds legitimate(years needed for relationship, marriage, babies, etc), you have options. Good luck and have fun!
