What a great site!! This is the place for me! After reading a good amount of threads, I actually feel better knowing that there are people like me who are going through the same ordeals.

Just a bit about me. I'm a 22 guy and fresh out of college with a degree in engineering and just started working for the federal government. After working there for a over a month, I started asking questions like, "where is my life going?" "where the hell is my social life?" "is this job something I will enjoy after x number of years?" or "what am I supposed to do during the few hours I'm not in the office?" I live in my parents house as I plan to save money to get a place on my own in maybe a year or two. Earlier the better because I loved the sense of independence I had living in the dorms for 4 years. I haven't had a girlfriend for F'ing AGES, and now I'm afriad that I run out of opportunities to easily find one, now that I'm stuck in the usual life routine of an 8to6 job. My job is pretty far, so I have only 4 hours a day when I'm not sleeping, driving, or working. From what I read on some posts, I decided to focus on personal growth in my life for now. I want to learn new things, and take all sorts of classes. Heck, I'm planning on taking dancing lessons, which is something you would never believe if you know me. Sorry, that felt like a mess of random thoughts, but I sure feel better!

It may seem a little early to be in a QLC, but I guess it's better to realize these things now to give myself a chance to fix things. Thanks for little community we got going here, and I plan on giving and receiving insightful input!!

Welcome to the boards! I too am someone who you would never thought of as a dancer, but am loving the jazz class I'm taking every Saturday. I like it here on QLC too, everyone is so different but having issues that are so similar! Good luck!

Hi there and welcome. Congrats on braving the real world after college. Finding time to have fun during the week is tough. Spending even slightly longer hours at work and spending more time on the road can have a HUGE impact on how much leisure time you have during the week.

There are many ppl on this board (including me) who never had a girl/boyfriend during college and who feel they have missed the dating boat. :redface:
