Now that I am a graduate, it just feels a heck of a lot harder.As I am getting older (22 next month), it bothers me more and more that I am single with no relationship in sight. My last relationship was a year ago but it was just a casual relationship. I guess my main problem is that I compare myself to my siblings - they are socialites while I am a dedicated student.So...where can I go to actually get started with my "social life?" I have spent the last 17 years of my life making the grade in school rather than building friendships and relationships :(. Most people find me pleasant to be around and don't even notice the problems going on in my head. Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (2 October 2008): Im kinda going through that. It is really hard to make friends as an adult. Try making friends at work. Start doing things whether its at a church, going to the gym (make it the same time a couple times a week- you'll get to know other regulars.) Start a new hobby, I am taking up rock climbing at a local gym. Its pretty cool. Try getting into your local music scene or art scene (concerts or galleries) Volunteer. You really just have to put yourself out there! Good Luck!
