[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know this is a really old thread, but I'm not on here often and didn't see it before. Here's what I've found: many/ most (?) people in DC that are working in high-income jobs are from different areas of the country, and don't have family here. Your work circumstances (where everyone is from the area) seems unusual to me. You said you are from CA? There are SO many people from CA here; from the West; from the Northeast; from the Midwest. Do you know any lawyers? Everyone I know is a lawyer, and no one is from here. If you can break into that kind of social circle, you really can develop a built-in family where everyone is on their own. People work long hours but they also love happy hours and cocktail lounges. Spend more time in DC and less in NoVa. Plan a few evenings a week going to a different happy hour. You'll be surprised how many single women in their mid-30s not from DC you'll meet. And how many women love going out here! I envy your free time, and wish I could still spend my evenings at happy hours, restaurants, and embassy events! There are SO many fun things to do.[/quote]
