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 dont drive nor can afford an inspiring car. I can go to the gym but as i said that only lasts 90 minutes ish.

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
I didnt think of cycling club, will look into it now.

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.

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.
Im st at sports requiring any kind of coordination haha
