What to do ????????

Ivor_Schlong

Hi all , basically im gonna try give you the gist of it without writing a novel

here go's

im a single guy of 28 who bought my own home 4.5 years ago , now my old friends who i used to hang around with are all into smoking hash , sitting in each weekend , which im not interested in , i detest any sort of drugs and at 28 and single i dont wanna be stuck in a house every weekend drinking cans ( nothing against people who do ) i wanna be out in diff clubs meeting new people etc , but these lads think theres something wrong with me because i dont wanna sit in every weekend , so needless to say we grew apart and stop speaking

now the lads i hang around with i only see in the pub , there not friends who'd text and say " hey fancy a game of snooker " etc , there more just like drinking buddies so to speak , but the problem is they never leave the same pub at all , and they hang around with 17/18 year old girls and guys , some younger , so i feel a bit stupid around these because im older and am looking for different things , there a sound bunch , they just dont go diff pubs etc and none have ever met a woman in this said pub , thats their choice im not knocking it but its not for me

if i come accross as a twat im apologise as im not , im just a genuine guy who doesnt have that many friends to socialse with , and id like to maybe meet a nice girl to go out with , but staying in the same pub with the same people in the pub ( you know when you go to a pub that much , you know who's sitting in that place and this place ) same old crowd so little chance to meet anybody

id like to meet more people to socialise with but how do i go about this ???

i know some people will say join a group , but there is feck all over in my way

so now im sitting in on the weekends doing feck all , some will say ur better off down the pub so if thats the case , but i hate that pub and dont wanna spend a fortune in a ****ty pub with no life

help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried getting one of your smoker friends on his own (sober) and asking him if he'd come to a pub/club with you?
You might get a better response asking one person rather than a big group.

Also, say yes to any and every social outing you're invited to, you never know who you'll end up meeting and clicking with.
Work drinks, someone you barely know's birthday?

What about a house party where everyone's to bring a new friend along?
That way everyone's happy.

Also, I know you're not big into joining groups, but even a few kick abouts with a local 5 a side might give you a result without committing to a full season or competition.

Best of luck.

That way everyone's happy. had one before and my house was wrecked

Best of luck.
