In every technological change there are winners and losers. Barb, you are likely to be a winner because you are thinking about how your industry is changing and asking important questions.
I am environmentally conscious. I recycle, compost and use compact fluorescent light bulbs in every socket that will take them. I drive the most fuel efficient car that will meet the most essential of my needs. I worry about pollution, disappearing species and the deforestation of the planet.
But I LOVE paper. I love the heft of the different weights, the textures of different grades, the range of colors and purposes for its use. I love how one book on a crowded library or bookstore shelf will grab my attention and draw me to it in a way that a book on a kindle can't.
Oh, I get very excited about new technology, but that new stuff becomes out of date so quickly. Paper is more durable in its own impermanent way. But if educational publishers have to change their material frequently they should do so online. I shudder at the end of the term when I dispose of disposable workbooks with most of the pages untouched.
IIf we don't think about how and why we use paper it will continue to get more expensive and, eventually, scarcer. When something can be done more efficiently, more effectively online that is clearly the way to go so that those pieces of paper more thrilling than 20lb bright or newsprint are still available and accessible.

What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for a 20-something year old who is mature beyond her years or are you looking for a middle-aged woman who is not interested in the whole white picket fence thing?
The fact of the matter is that you really do have to be yourself. If you get into any type of relationship being someone who you're not, then you're only going to end up screwing yourself in the end – especially if you develop feelings for the girl and vice versa.
What type of places are you going to meet girls? I can just about guarantee you that you won't find anyone who possesses any decent girlfriend-quality at clubs, bars, country clubs, etc.; I have met the more interesting girls at the gym, libraries, wineries, grocery stores, church (seriously), and volunteer organizations. What sort of things do you enjoy doing? You should get involved in something that you really enjoy doing, and you may be able to meet other girls who have similar interests as your self.
Why not try online dating? I know it sounds super pathetic, but I tried it once, and I met a pretty cool girl from doing so. Sure, it takes a while to meet someone who's decently attractive and also has similar interests as your own, but it's really worth it when you find a good one!
Good luck
