Stories from single 20-somethings living in SF, LA, NY and Chicago.

Aside from my coworkers, I don’t have any single female friends. It sucks. I spend much of my nights chatting online with my single male friends, but all my female friends have boyfriends and are probably off getting laid. Lucky girls. In addition to the nightly entertainment I get from my single friends of the opposite sex (what is better than hearing stories about your male friends getting unmentionable favors under the table at bars? Or in the restroom at Longs Drugs?), I have my blogs. I can always rely on my nightly reads to keep me entertained for a few hours. But after I read all my blogs, and the boys sign offline, I usually stare at my computer screen with a blank expression. What to do, what to do..

I’m a busy body. I don’t like to sit around. But because my industry is demanding, I’m often tired. Conflict, man. Conflict.

Because I’ve been in serious relationships since I was 14, I overcompensate when I hit the town (and paint it red – a dark, burgundy red). I get stupidly drunk and dance on furniture that should never be danced on. And why not? I am an un-ugly, 22 year old female that has nothing to lose but her dinner from drinking too much. Although I know my friends find it amusing to watch me get hammered every time we go out, their hard drinking days are long gone. I missed out on some prime party time in college, when I was too busy accepting a promise ring from my ex who I thought I would marry. I gave that ring back, btw. He was a great guy, and any woman would be lucky to have him. But me? I wish I partied more when all my friends were still single.

I’m a single girl with no single friends. This conversation wraps up my weekends quite nicely:
