And how old are you?

I seem to be losing more friends the older i get and i no longer have friends who like to go out for a good old pissup on the weekends. I find on my days off i have nothing to do except go to the shop, gardening or the gym. It depresses me that i seem to live such a boring life at 25 but people are just drifting further away the older we all get.

Help, and i have a girlfriend and do stuff with her and my mate comes round a couple of times a week but apart from that i seem to havd nothing to do and im getting bored.

Id like something to do where maybe i could meet people aswell.

Seeing as the weather is getting nicer, go for a drive?

Im 19 and I work four on, four off. My age helps as I have mates who are willing to go and get pissed on a Tuesday afternoon at the drop of a hat! hehe

Fitness is also a good way to pass the time on your days off. Cycle/ Swim/ Weights etc.

I'm 24,

Typically play golf one morning with a few friends or brothers (see other people up the club also) and spend the rest of my time either out with the GF or studying (CFA). May go for a cycle in the morning though!

Piss-ups with mates are fairly regular but more often on a Wed/Thur evening.

27 years old, still feeling young.

Spare time, well its either spent eating out 3-4 nights a week with friends, playing with Landrovers, helping build drift cars, or a social night with a few drinks, normally around mine.

The games console is gathering dust, and has been for a year now, found more to life spending time with friends, that glued to the big flashy box in the living room

I'm 25, on my days off (and if I'm not on holiday) my activities usually involve alcohol, cycling, my girlfriend or Football Manager.

Go out and get a bike and join a club. It's great fun smile

Take up a new activity/sport that gets you outside or meeting people. I've made loads of friends through running clubs/groups for example.

Running club looks like a good idea, is your first time quite daunting? Once i know someone i can talk a lot but a bit nervous initiating anything.

Work shifts and away from home so have lost pretty much all friends.

Spend my time between visits from kids, sim racing, gym, pub, cycling, household chores, driving, washing cars and netflix.

Am a Camra member and an IAM member which gives me a bit of social chat.

Running and cycling clubs are brilliant.

Every day there's something happening, and if it's weekend it's usually pub atop after.

I'm 24, and today i woke up late, ran 15 miles, chilling by TV now and going out for a meal with missus and her mates for a birthday tonight.

Tommorow will be 6 mile run, potentially overtime, drive car, have mum round for tea, and then chill by TV.

Would love more time if anything for cycling, seeing family and friends more (missed a all day pissup today as I'm in brum at her parents houses)

Try a team based sports club as the camaraderie and social outings (piss ups) are often better IMO.

First time is always a bit daunting but unless the team is a bunch of arses they'll make you feel welcome.

Travel the country watching (and this year competing in) Motorsport! Evenings are spent in the pub, at car meets, organising events and eating out.

Currently all my free time seems to be used renovating an old cottage we got at the end of last year, in more normal times it's spent fixing or riding motorbikes.

An easy intro to local runners is to find your local parkrun - friendly, free Saturday morning 5k runs.
