Twenty-six years ago, I became friends with another woman at the company where I used to work. We’re retired now.
After nearly two years of this monthly schedule, I’m realizing it doesn’t feel right. There are aspects of her personality that I find off-putting. For instance, she can be imperious and rude with restaurant staff. You may not be able to go back to fully sporadic lunches, but, if she presses, try scheduling every other month and see how it suits you.
While my career goals are feeling closer than ever, other aspects of my life, such as romantic relationships feel more out of reach than ever. I have tried online dating and have matches, but I never make the effort to meet for a date. There’s no way to do it wrong. But you should strive to do it authentically. Prioritize your health. If your physical and mental health isn’t good, everything is going to suffer. So, if grad school and work have you at capacity, don’t worry about anyone else’s time clock for love or anything else.If you have time to pick up a book, try memoirs others have written about this complicated time in their lives. I particularly enjoy those written by Samantha Irby, Scaachi Koul and David Rakoff.
