I'm amazed so many of my colleagues and friends find time to have a gf/bf. Perhaps they don't have the time, that must be why I notice so many of them are moody everyday.
Tell your mother you won't be cleaning, won't be cooking, and won't be doing the dishes on friday. Stop making excuses and go get some loving. Be a man.

My older sister was a straight A student, went to medical school at a prestigious university, I believe worked part time, and had time for her boyfriend who is now her husband. Our schedules are more flexible than we realize. I am sure you can find spare time for other pursuits such as dating.

Probably because unlike many other students, you don't live on campus and you're going home to your mom's to do chores. A lot of the socializing in college happens hanging out in the dining hall or in the dorm lounge, going to the parties and events on campus, etc. and you're not there for that. Are you making friends in general?

It's not my fault I grew up 5 minutes away from a major university. Yes, I've made 4 good friends.

Again, I am not letting you off the hook lol. I know some people are trying to be easy on you but you have off on Fridays. So why aren't you going out on your off nights and weekends? Something doesn't add up here. I don't think it has anything to do with time. I think perhaps it doesn't interest you and you are trying to justify your actions and hoping everyone will say "oh, its perfectly fine"...

So spill it... What's the real deal?

I'm usually so tired when I get to the weekend that I just want to sleep until late, watch a few series and I usually still have a bit of work to do or something to study.

I had three part-time jobs, went to school full-time, got straight As and had a boyfriend I saw two or three times a week. I had time and so do you.

Then let me make it easy for you brother. You are simply not interested. You are not that type of person- simple. You have no desire to seek love at this point in time. It has nothing to do with time. If there is interest, time is made. If not, then no. You would rather remain tired, drag feet all weekend then be proactive.

However, just another tip, be mindful that when you get out into the real world, you will have to be a bit more proactive then you are now. Im not so much worried about you not finding love, Im more worried about your networking abilities.

I think you need a gym membership, work on your overall fitness and mental fortitude. Start sorting out some internships, start networking in your field of interest, and you will see life in a different manner. Right now you are irrelevant and will continue to be irrelevant in this competitive world until you change your attitude and stop looking for excuses as I picked up and expressed in my very first post. No hard feelings brother- just trying to set u up for the future brother!

So go out and start networking and get out the house. Stop feeling tired and inudated. And lastly, stand up to your mother and share the responsibilities- you are not a maid. Lastly, be a man- no hard feelings.
