I am 26 currently, and feel as though entering my late 20's has introduced to me a new sense of loneliness I've never encountered before. All my life seems to be is work, and once a week meeting with one group of friends to have drinks and dinner. That's it.

Is this all I get to experience in my late 20's? because It seems as though all my other friends are so busy trying to build there careers, and families that I have nothing to shoot for. Is there another way of living out there for me that would allow new experiences socially?

Or am I just doomed to play dirty trivia in the bar of a local bowling alley once in a while until I get wither away...

Dude, I think its just a matter of actually planning nights out with your friends or finding new hobbies or activities you can participate that you feel will offer the best pool of possible potential dates to get.

This doesn't have to be an all night thing to which you have to rush home and get ready for work thing. Just simple stuff. Yoga, the gym, book signings, etc. that sort of thing.
