What do I have to do to maintain a social life? Most of my friends married right out of high school, so I really don't have anyone to hit the town with. Most of the men I meet already have children or 2 divorces hanging over them or both.... Aren't there any professional singles out there? I feel like an anomaly. Does anyone that's gone through this stage have any advice?

I am a little older, out of grad school and I am know EXACTLY how you feel (except the married out of high school thing which is sad and will never last). Just keep going...there are some people out there without all that baggage. granted it is hard to find sometimes.

You are not yet an anomaly... just a minority. I'm a med school student and my older sis is in dental school. We are still single and in no great hurry to be hitched like some of our friends. I find that places you hang around (classes, professional grounds...) are the best spots to find people like you. Don't lose hope... there ARE still young, single, professional men out there. But also, don't restrict your view to those kind of men only... you never know what you might find else where.

Keep in mind that most professional singles are single for a reason.....they are more focused on their careers rather than their love life therefore, chances of meeting a guy that is doing both school and social life are slim.
And if you do happen to meet a guy like this, chances are he'll break your heart by choosing his work/school over you as he's too focused to care about your feelings.
Love happens when you're not looking for it.

Your classmates or officemates can provide you with a social life. They can even help you in finding a date. Just be your friendly self. Don't despair! Some people does go through such times. Just enjoy life and think of your state now as a prelude of what is yet to come. Something exciting perhaps!

I'm sure there are plenty of professional singles out there. I've seen them hanging out in clubs and stuff, but I'm not sure how you could meet them, unless you go to church, or try out those fast dating games where people talk to each other for like 5 minutes and move on to another person. You may be able to find information about them in your local paper or editorials.

Honestly? I would spend my time concentrating on finishing schooling. Once that is obtained you will have time to pursue a social life. You already have so many things going on. Wouldn't it be nice to know, once you meet someone, that you have the time to spend with them that you would like instead of having to arrange everything around a class AND work schedule?

I am right there with you. There are days that I feel like the only single for miles. I remember when everyone was just like me then I blinked and everyone got married and does not have time or desire to hang out or go out any more.

I have been through a similar experience and found that I started hanging out more with classmates. You have something in common already, and you can study with them as well. Maybe arrange a study group, and when you are done with studying, go out.

Find some people you can talk to in your class. I'm sure there are some people you can hang out with and stuff-you just gotta look hard.
