Lack of Dating life....any other single students feel the same?

[locolorenzo22]

I don't normally have a lot of complaints or concerns...I'm usually more excited about school and what's going on in my life....

But today I had a few hours to sit down and just reflect on what my life really is at the moment.....School, labs, papers, clinicals, and night shifts....There's hardly any time for volunteer work (at my old job with good friends), socializing, dating, nada......

I guess I'm just depressed over it, and am starting to think that I'll never have the time for a social life once I graduate school, as I want to continue my education, plus 1st year nursing, etc. etc.....

Maybe I'm just lonely and thinking about all the other things people my age do/people they're meeting and feeling like life's passing me by...I guess a good night's sleep would help.....thanks all for letting me vent.

bad time to start any relationship timewise

besides most of the people you meet on a day to day basis are strung out with their own studies

THIS IS NOT A FOREVER SITUATION

you will graduate, you will get a job, you will meet smart sensitive people that you have a lot in common with...

YOU WILL HAVE A LIFE

This the first time in my life I am around females this much, but it seems everyone that I meet is either in a committed relationship, or bitter about men in general. So I actually find my situation both humorous and sad at the same time. Plus, I currently live in a small town and when I am done with school I am moving out of here to a more liberal area. Then in addition, I will not consider dating another person who is not college educated. So it is really a combination of factors that limit my dating ability at this time in my life. Consequently, I have decided to enjoy this time in my life and to make the most of the time. And I am enjoying it! Who knows, perhaps I will meet a very caring, loving, and humorous nurse. And we all know just how wonderful all nurses truly are.

Well you mentioned that you wouldnt date anyone who is not college educated, and why is that

Personally, I would go with a combo of being educated (like HS at least), and having some "street smarts" to go with that. If I have to do everything for you, a relationship is not daddy/daughter....it's two adults being equal in different apects of the relationship....IMHO....

I am SO glad I'm not the only one thinking about that. Only 2 other people in my class are not married with children, and I was beginning to wonder if this was "it" for me. LOL

I only have time to meet people online and chat while I'm checking my email. But my positive outlook on it is that, is only about another 7 months of my life while in school....then graduation....studying for the NCLEX....First stressful year of nursing....yea it never ends lol;)
