Sure thing! It's certainly possible. I met my beloved when I was 19 years old (he was 27 at the time). I'm 34 now, and he and I have been married for several years after a long engagement. It's a successful and loving relationship. We do so much better united than either of us did when we were apart.
During my teenage years, I often told my parents that I thought I'd never find a guy. I was often told I was masculine looking or unattractive; I'm inherently nerdy and tomboyish. But then I met my beloved, and he thinks I'm attractive. He likes geeky and physically fit females. We both find each other attractive.
Basically, it takes time for anyone to find a good match, and there will always be challenges. For example, I'm theistic, but my husband isn't. My parents are/were both theistic (Mother passed away last year), but they always supported my relationship with my beloved. Some online friends, however, and even a pastor at a church I went to for a time, believed that believers shouldn't ever marry unbelievers (they cited 2 Corinthians 6:14, which they take out of context -- that chapter isn't even about marriage), and a few of these people even actively tried to discourage me from marrying my beloved even though they had no parental authority over me. Had to tune them out and trust Scripture properly interpreted, and my and my parents' own authority over theirs.
