I need a damn date, but I'm living at home this semester and as I don't exactly go out with my friends a lot I have no way to cover it up from my parents.

Oh no, they'd be overjoyed if I dated. And also pester me with questions and make me feel weird.

Not to mention the fact that I want to try dating girls, that'll be awkward as heck. Can I just lie and say "hey, I'm meeting up with [insert colleague I'm not actually hanging out with,] incidentally we'll be out all night, which I never do, until now!

Did I mention I'm in grad school? I'm in fucking grad school and worrying about this. Maybe I can just not see anyone until I move away to work. Yeah.

I'm sorry, anonymous person. That really sucks.

FWIW, in a case like this, I don't think it's necessarily that wrong to misdirect your parents or to... uh... to say something that is not, strictly speaking, the truth. And I do think saying something like you outline there, or just making up some other excuse, would not be terribly implausible. So, I mean, there are worse plans than that.

Good luck! Hope you find someone soon.

Tiiiime to move out.

Not an option currently. Trust me, I'd be on my own if I could. I've spent most of my life post-high school doing just that.

Dag. That does suck some [object reader is averse to sucking].

You can't just be like "yo mom and dad I'm headed out I'll be back late bye"?

They gotta be all up in your business?

Can I just lie and say "hey, I'm meeting up with [insert colleague I'm not actually hanging out with,] incidentally we'll be out all night, which I never do, until now!

...Yes? Is this a trick question?

It's a rant thread and I ranted?

I'd start setting some boundaries about your private life now. Go on dates. Don't tell your parents much about them. Say it's because you don't want to 'jinx' it by talking about your date too much now if you feel you have to give a reason, but stick to your guns.

Also, do start going out all night, or at least quite late. Say you're hanging with friends colleagues and you got carried away/ decided to go to a karaoke bar/ crashed on someone's couch after a big night. Or if you don't want to do that, just be more social in general. Go to meet up groups. Join a society. Starting seeing the friends you do have more often and tell them you want to meet more people so they might hep you with this.

Tell your parents you're trying to meet more people and widen your social circle if they ask about what you're doing. Don't evade questions, but don't give them more information that necessary - e.g. "I went to the bar with X/ X group. We chatted and had a few drinks. It was fun," should be all you need to say.

Eventually, if you stick to your guns, your parents will start respecting your privacy/ not be overly inquisitive when you stay out all night.
