WK, could it be the place you were? If you've been out of the game for a while then you may need to find a bar that doesn't cater to the emo/hipster clingy jeans crowd and more of people your age. I'm 26 and if I was single now I would not be going to the same bars I did when I was 21-22. I bet a change in venue would help immensely. If you're ever in the bay area we'll get a drink some where appropriate
