I'm sorry to hear of your woes - I sure can empathize.
As a note, you may want to friends lock posts that talk about work. A quick google search will show you the gabillion work/blog horror stories out there.
Mase, I know that my perverted/crass sense of humor has excluded me from the "hand full of women you'd be interested in dating"... that and the fact that I have a boyfriend, but don't write off NJ yet. I need someone else to share my epiphanies about the state with. I agree with Beth though. I think you may actually find some decent women in the same boat as you. What could it hurt? In the meantime feel better...A beer with a co-worker/female/not-interested-in-dating friend may help :)
While I agree that dating local people is a lot easier than dating long distance, I wouldn't let your concerns about moving stop you from doing either. I used to be pretty firm about not dating long distance, but one hopeful gentleman managed to convince me to date him long distance anyway. And as awesome as he was, when given a job choice between living near him and moving back 'home' I chose to move up here but we eventually did work out our careers so that we ended up in the same city. And all in all I'm pretty happy that darnok is such a stubborn man.
I'm not saying that our relationship is the norm, but if you start dating someone and they're awesome, you'll find a way to make it work. And if they're not the one, moving might be sad but it won't be impossible, and you'll both have more fun in the meantime.
I've been struggling for quite a while about how to make friends knowing that we won't be here very long. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I have to just go for it and ignore the fact that we'll be leaving - otherwise the next 20 years will be awefully lonely. Some friends I may keep long-distance, other may fade, but that's OK. So get out there and enjoy yourself! If a relationship is meant to be, there will be a way to make it work.
Hey, the next girl you date doesn't have to be the girl that you marry. You've got no problem attracting female attention that I can see. Give things a try. If people in the city are too far away, then let things go after a date or two. After all, you've got to find better dinner company than me!
Kevin...Kevin...Kevin...(yes I am wearing it) - I think for me your definately BETTER company the guys I hang out with - does anyone notice that male brothers are more FUN to be with than the male species? - Seriously! I was out with these set of guys at a holiday party and they were so "boring engineer like" -- but so are most of my MALE Kappa Bros - you are guys are SOO cool and funny and just plain awesome...
