There is no "life script" you are required to follow, no time stamp after which you need to stamp "expired" on your fannish interests and immediately seek out a partner, pop out kids, become the boring suburban housewife, etc. I have a good number of friends in their 40s, 50s, even 60s now who have been happily single all of their lives and find a great deal of their enjoyment still in fandom, in following tv shows and movies, in reading, etc.

But, they do have those friends to share it with, to stay social and not just be a shut-in about it. I guess in a way they've made fandom their extended family, and it's healthy for them, and that's fine. But just be careful you're not using fandom solely as an escape from the real world, from the responsibilities you need to take on to pay the bills and be a responsible human being (ie, not spending the rest of your life mooching off your parents because it's easier than getting your own job.)

And while it's hard to see it at the time, it's likely you're going to change with time as well, or have things happen that change your point of view. You may not be looking to meet someone and it may just happen. You might realize after a long time of wondering what job or career really would excite you. It's hard to make the transition from school life to post-graduation life, but it's not all downhill from there, that is for certain.
