I'm 22, and age = time without a girlfriend. I went to tech school, so the only women that were around me were in their 40's and trying to jumpstart their careers. Now I'm a working stiff doing 8 - 5 in a cubicle for an IT company. And the female populationn here is even worse than it was in school. Of the 1% of the building that is female, 100% of them are either married with kids, or have boyfriends. So yeah, conditions would have to improve quite a bit for the pickens to even be slim.

And that leaves me with bars as the only source of potential mates. And I'm not too fond of bars (although I do enjoy drinking) as they require I strike up conversation with total strangers with whom I have nothing in common, and I'll probably end up embarassing myself. Plus I'm not really interested in the one night stands that that sort of environment fosters. Not that I would turn one down though...

So yeah, I've come to accept that I'll probably be single forever. The more I try to convince myself that I'm okay with that, the more I realize that if have to try to convince myself of it, it means I'm lying to myself. Man, I wish I didn't have to have a job. I wish I could go back to school, meet people my own age with similar interests, and have fun again. Not to go off on a tangent, but being an adult sucks. When you're young, and your parents say "These are the best years of your life" they know what they're talking about. For the love of God/Buddha/Flying spaghetti monster/Hare Krishna/whatever, listen to them.
