" My friend, who is in her 30s, just wrote to me that she is feeling down. She says that her options each weekend are: 1) stay at home by herself or 2) go out with other singles and act 23. Granted, she lives in a big city where there&amp;amp;#8217;s a major drinking culture and she doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t like to drink. Doh!I like to drink, so that&amp;amp;#8217;s not a problem, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t do nightclubs. I think it only feels like you&amp;amp;#8217;re &amp;amp;#8220;acting 23&amp;amp;#8221; because your married peers have aged light years beyond you. They live in the land of prenatal vitamins, wills and testaments, sober nights, and early bedtimes. There can come a day when, like my friend is doing, you realize you don&amp;amp;#8217;t fit into either category. You have all this extra time to spend with friends who can&amp;amp;#8217;t spend it with you. You&amp;amp;#8217;re not visiting in-laws because you don&amp;amp;#8217;t have any. You&amp;amp;#8217;re not touring day cares because you don&amp;amp;#8217;t need to. So what do you do&amp;amp;#133;go on a bender and try to meet people? I live in both worlds. Last night I did shots of sake and went to a bar that had games in it. But today I lunched with two sorority sisters&amp;amp;#8212;one just bought a house with her husband and the other brought her 2-year-old. Life is so weird! If you&amp;amp;#8217;re single, do you feel like you have to act younger than you are? If you&amp;amp;#8217;re married, do you feel like you&amp;amp;#8217;re doing &amp;quot;old&amp;quot; things? Do you like where you are? Is the grass always greener? More Ways to Get Glamour Visit ShopGlamour.com for cute stuff starting at just $10! Enter the latest Glamour sweepstakes! Follow us on Twitter!
