Dorothea deprioritised marriage in favour of work, and she does not regret this. But as the other potts woman settle into periods of happy marriage and motherhood it is bringing home to her that she is not.

I'm looking for someone to court and eventually marry her, she seeks a mutual companion and as spinsterhood has never really frightened her, she won't settle for a vile husband just to get a ring on her finger.

Her ideal would be someone a little older (35-45) who is also quite settled and not wanting to pull her life apart to suit his. Someone who values her commitment to her job and her love helping young people grow is a must, and they ideally should still let her work.

I'm looking for some hurling opportunities and would also quite enjoy her having a couple of ill fated blind dates with unsuitable matches just for fun.

I have Optionssss but also governesses and nannies cannot be married (even the hogwarts matrons can only be either widow or spinster), she'd have no choice but to leave her job. Would she still want to marry knowing she'd have to quit?

Hold you like I always will

Good question, I/she is aware of that, and would accept that fact and probably move into non residential teaching or tutoring role provided she finds a husband that is accepting of that. The toss up between marriage and being a governess is the main reason she isn't afraid of spinsterhood as she would still have the other.
