Born on 2 of January 1997, Year of a Rat

I want to know if I am able to find the one/ my soulmate this year. I am talking to a man born in the year of a Dragon. He was born on January 1 (8 years older than me). We are both not rushing or taking the next step because he will remind me many times about how his friends will think about me since I am young and naive still, which I am and I understand. He seems to be the one I like, but I am not pressuring him to reciprocate the feelings. I do know that he seems comfortable with me that he does want me to spend time talking and texting me when he awakes until he sleeps. It has only been two weeks or more, but I know our trust for each other remains strong. As Capricorns, of course, we both joke around a lot about anything, but we both want to focus on our career paths as well. He has actually put me back onto my feet to study again after I felt like a failure with courage and confidence.
