What should I do in my situation?

More specifically, should I attend my last two years of college here in the west or move back to the mid-south / east coast? I am in a very unique situation. I am a 27 year old male, ex military (Marine Corps), and moved out to Colorado Springs back in 2005 after leaving the Marine Corps. It WAS my goal to be able to meet someone, date, and eventually get married, but being in the Marine Corps (Jacksonville, N.C.) and living in the evangelical (read: all the women are already married and have very young children) Colorado Springs has ruined it for me. So, long story short, I got a civilian job here, the company left town, and I started my education here at the local community college. The problem is that I am a very lonely guy (I AM NOT asking for anyone's sympathy btw) and there are very little if any single women in this town. Furthermore, the VERY Few that are here act VERY crude, stuck up, and unapproachable. So, should I just move back to the south (where Im originally from) in the hopes that things will be better there? I heard from an acquantance at work that colleges back in the east/south are closer knit so to speak and that it is alot easier to make friends, meet single women, date, etc? I feel that I am in an EXTREMELY unique situation in that I am a five year veteran of the Marine Corps, am in my late 20s, and am JUST NOW getting my education. At my school I listen to the people around me in my cles and all of them already have their own families, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc which makes me feel very isolated. I feel like I have wasted my life by joining the Marines like I did. Oh just in case some of you were wondering "Why didn't he date while in the Marines?" Well folks, I have a simple answer and that is the sad FACT that the civilian folks in eastern N.C. dispise Marines. In fact, Google, Marines denied access to Wilmington bars. You'll see what I am talking about. If anyone can relate your advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!
