Single lawyers, what's your love life like?

Kindness & Support :snoo_hearteyes:

I'm just curious what it's like for anyone else out there. I'm a 27 yr old woman and I'm single. Most of the time, I don't feel like I have the mental capacity to date or even think about dating. When I come home at the end of the day, I usually just want to enjoy being at home in the house I live in by myself. I do eventually want to meet someone, but I have no idea what that would even look like for me at this point. I spend a lot of time exhausting myself with work and I feel like I never have time for me as is, so how am I supposed to meet someone or figure out how to fit them into my life? I do get lonely, but I also keep some causal options around. I feel like I only have the capacity for casual at the moment, but I also don't feel like that will change anytime soon. When I think about what I want my life to look like down the road, I think I would like to have a family, or at least the option. I am at a unique time in my life where most of my inner circle is married, engaged, or in a long-term relationship, and then I'm over here with myself and my job. I guess I'm just wondering if there are any young, single lawyers out there who feel the same way, or maybe anyone out there who used to feel this way and ended up settling down.
