You should consider joining a kickball team or a softball team to meet people. Also, if you're connected to a religion at all, there are tons of Young Professional groups for these communities. They usually require little time and often have activities set up for potluck dinners or for someone to show you around town. Another great way to meet people in DC is to join a museum like the Corcoran or the Phillips as a Young Professional. For $100 you'll get invites to special programs and openings with people of a similar interest and background PLUS you'll gain points with a lady if you invite her to an opening.

Law school is basically an amped-up version of high school and it DOES get very 90210-ish. I've seen several law school couples come and go, and the drama that ensues in the aftermath is just not worth it. Some people can be incredibly vindictive and you don't want to screw with your career before it even starts. Remember... these people are going to be your collegues. Do you really want to be able to say that you've slept with 2/3 of them? Seriously, the nice girls are out there. You just have to look a little harder.

I just finished law school, and there definitely was alot of drama my first year w/ people who dated and then broke up, but there have been many other couples that have stayed together. Pros: you will have a lot in common, they will be going through the same experiences as you, it can be hard for other people not in law school that you are dating to understand what you are going through, there are tons of social opportunities to meet people, etc. etc. CONS: law school can be a lot like high school, so expect TONS of gossip, you will have to see that person for 3 years if you break up, you may have TOO much in common, you don't want all of your classmates (and likely future colleagues) to know all about your personal life. Overall though, I think the Pros outweigh the Cons, because I have seen many people who start out in relationships when they start law school break up because the experience can put alot of stress on the relationship, particularly for the person not in law school.

I realize some of these are very cheesy. Capitol Lounge Bottom Line Clarendon Ballroom (chicks like bands) Tune Inn Felix Front Page Anywhere in Dewey Beach If you can't get laid in Dewey, I can't help you. But, contrary to popular lore, Dewey is full of nice, "normal", fun loving girls with disposable incomes, great attitudes and a love for sunshine and live music. You could join a beach house, or guest at one, and make lots of friends to hang out with back in DC. Good bars for getting laid and/or meeting girls. I realize some of these are very cheesy.

For example, I hear that the Applebees in Falls Church is off the chain. If that is too upscale, there is always the T.G.I. Friday's in Woodbridge.

I have some of my male friends say the samething about women in dc. DCB is right, bars and clubs are good for practicing "games" and stuff, but not meeting a caliber woman. Volunteering and just putting yourself out there are the best options as far as I am concerned. Kathryn, Is is that bad for women in dc as you make it sound?

However, I think it's a lot more difficult to meet these women during the day, since, at a bar/club etc, they're in a more social mood and are more receptive to approaches than the girl reading con law at 2pm at a Starbucks would be. Any ideas/suggestions on how to work around this? forgot to add this:
