You seem to be suggesting the two are incompatible, but in my experience that's not really the case at all...

If so, I can see some truth to this. I can't think of anytime in your life you'll ever again not only have no commitments, but also be surrounded by so many people who haven't yet formed (social) relationships. Makes sense to 100% focus on meeting people and building friendships -- it only gets harder going forward.
Not to mention being in a relationship with someone can lead to profound changes in a person's character, and those changes may not gel with existing friends...
