Dating in b-school: feeling overwhelmed :(
I'm a 26-30 F at IIM Calcutta, and it seems like a lot of my classmates are already in relationships. It's a cliché that you might find your partner in B-school, but seeing others dating makes me anxious. In my first year, I was all about academics, which turned out to be tougher than I thought.
Now, I'm gearing up for placements, which should be my main focus (luckily, I have some interviews lined up!). But I can't shake the feeling that time is slipping away, and I get FOMO watching friends having fun and meeting new people.
I know it's a privilege to be in an MBA program, especially at IIM Calcutta, but there's this nagging feeling that I'm missing out on the social side. Plus, I wonder if it's worth dating when people might move away for jobs after graduation.
Do people use dating apps while in the MBA program here? I tried apps like Hinge and Bumble but didn't see many fellow students.
With all this, how do people date post-MBA in big cities? I'm not into dating apps or the bar scene. How do you meet new people?
