Young professionals think that they have it all-- a nice apartment, a car, their own money and a new leash on their career. Well, after putting in long hours at their 9-5’s and couple of paychecks later start to realize that life isn’t what they planned it to be once the newness of graduating from college wears off.
It’s quite funny to think that the world was going to open its arm and welcome the young professional. But, the reality is that you’re on your own and it can be summed up by saying “ The world owes you nothing and it’s time that you learn how to play the game of life .”
Now that the game pieces are given to the young professional, it’s a matter of juggling work, social life and dating.
Work. Work dominates the life of a young professional. Get that paycheck, [they say] and save money. When the 40 hours plus over time each week builds up to that hefty paycheck, the young professional realizes that its time for some recreational play. But, wait- he or she has spent so much time at work that they are unfamiliar with the social scene.
It’s their first time back onto the social scene. Its funny how something so familiar could be so strange. The young professional goes on this shopping spree of buying new Jimmy Choo shoes, an Elizabeth Carson Racker party dress, accessories, the new evening make-up line from Mac cosmetics and a touch of Jadore’ perfume. Now, the professional is set for the reentry to the once familiar scene. One evening turns into three outings or more and eventually the professional has become the social butterfly.
With all of the events that the young professional, or should I say Social Butterfly has attended, contacts with party promoters, DJ’s and valet are made. VIP entry is a must and mingling with other (single) professionals is the norm. One would have concluded that it will be easy to snag a date.
Well, dating can be tricky, Now that dating has presented itself, the young professional/social butterfly has to think quickly. Do I give up all of the fun to spend a few moments with him/her or do I just wing it and go on the date and see where it goes? Dating is meant to be fun. It allows the professional to meet a lot of individuals to get a feel for what they want. However, dating can become tricky, the perfect one may show great signs at first, but later turn out to have other issues that you’d rather not get involved in.
It all comes back to not being that work-a-holic and learning to get out and meet others. There is more to the single life than just being the so-called Single Professional!
