Panic Mode: Still single at late 20s
woobie on September 21st, 2007
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…

afraid of growing old alone?
Yeah something like that. :D Just quarter life crisis, i guess.
I could completely relate. I am 28 and I am watching my friends and acquaintances get married and have kids. I am on Facebook and I see friends change their profile pics to their wedding pics or a nice pose with their beau. Why can’t people just use a faceshot of just them? It is the profile of one person, not two. Those who are not are in LTR or are at least 5 years younger than me. I broke up with a BF of 2 years but when you have virtually no social network outside of him, it is a very lonely feeling. I date here and there, but none really seemed to click except one guy who has serious commitment issues. I also got laid off from my job and trying to find something else. I shall write a country song. I don’t really talk to my anyone about this because I want to seem independent and strong, but I am really not. I would like a relationship, but I don’t want to be in one now since I do not want to be in a relationship for the “wrong reasons”. I need to be strong enough without a boyfriend, which is hard without good friends to spend time with here and there.
