Panic Mode: Still single at late 20s

Looking at my friendster list, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the “quarter life crisis” most of the people in my age bracket are going through…

While it’s true that more insight comes with age, the chance of random hook ups and meetings with the “one for you” become slimmer and slimmer as we get older…

Most of the people in your (ripe) age bracket have moved on, have families already…. In short, the best ones are already taken..

You get set in your routine… you go to the office, see the same people daily and would like nothing more than a goodnight sleep after a hectic day….

You go out of your way to go to bars and other ‘hook-up” places and realize that the names for several of the “cool” stuff people are using nowadays have changed….

Upon entering a trendy hook-up place, you avoid mentioning your true age to anyone just because of an experience that happened a few nights ago.. ahem… you told your true age to a hot, young stud and noticed his eyes shift uneasily around before looking at you and saying “well… you don’t look 28.”

You finally give up on the “random-hook-up” thingie and rummage through your friends’ friendster lists looking for a possible [fated] introduction.

You run across old “Sex in the City” videos and cry during the episode on the struggle of thirty-something women to find true love.

Your parents ask you all the time… “When???”

and lastly…

You rant at your bestfriend, who seemed fated to be “forever-single” too, for getting pregnant and finally settling down because, in your own words… “How dare you get pregnant and get married, and remind me that time is running out???”

Panic Mode.. don’t let it get to you…
