I did definately had that expectation. Sadly, my youth has caused me to mature faster than my peers and it is hard to relate with others. I'm into drinking (not drugs), "hipster" media, poetry readings, video games, art, other culturals, community events, art, being outside, intellectual discourse, etc ... The theft isn't typical of my friend and he kindly returned it with no judgment. I'm not sure how to meet the "right people". I go out often will different groups and am very involved at my university. I even had an okcupid for a minute. I'm convinced that I just don't fit in here the guy I've been talking about is actually the most simular person to me I've met so far, but I'm over keeping my hopes up. Hanging out with him is a nice change of pace from my party animal friends. There is just no one here for me, I guess.

I think I will try that forum. Thanks for the heads up!
