Like I mentioned before, my buddies are all starting to have families now and I hate being the only single guy at their parties.
I know it sounds odd, but I want to get married, start a life and a family all before I am thirty.
Maybe I'm just panicking?
Either way, I'm just weighing out my options anyways. I haven't even hinted this before to my ex.

This is a common problem in Calgary you are not alone. We probably have stood in the same line up to hit on ch!cks on 17th ave. You live in dude-town, so you have a few options.
1. Go places where there are girls you can talk too
a) Universities (join the gym at Mt Royal/UofC)
b) Fun Runs/Running Room (it's ######ed but it works)
c) Wine tastings/Fancy anything (girls like shiny fancy crap...it sucks, but you have to go to these places)
d) Co-ed rec sports...mostly bored couples play these games, but the girls should have a few single friends kicking around
2. Young up who you hang out with
a) Receptionists, Assistants, Hair Dresser, Dental Hygenist, Massage Therapist, Nurses, Chiropractors and girls that work at the big 4 accounting firms are in positions where they will be forced to work with younger people, so they will have younger friends. Befriend these girls and go out with them to meet their friends.
3. Say yes more...you won't meet new girls at your current friends boring house warming parties
a) Hot tub party on a sunday before work...yes
b) Beers after hockey on Tuesday despite having to work tomorrow...hell yeah
c) Vinyl on a thursday...why not...just do a million shots
4. Blame your friends gf's
a) Get them working for you...tell them you're lonely and to keep an eye out
b) Constantly berate them for not having girlfriends (I get along better with guys is not an excuse)
5. Finally...move (not to Edmonton)
a) Ever here a buddy from Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal b!tching about having a gf?...I don't know if it's lowered expectations or different demographics, but there is an issue here, so why not try somewhere else.
My 2cents.
