    i've found myself very unhappy for the last few months, luckily for me though i think i know the reason why. one of the things is i am single for over a year now and that is starting to bug me but the main reason that is getting me down is i am not happy within myself and happy with my own life.

    i have way too much spare time on my hands, my life is very routine and it is wrecking my head. i've known this for a long time but don't know where to look to try change things. i do procrastinate alot and think too much about things which doesnt help. but i know i can change things which is the upside.

    at the moment, i work monday to friday, dont do much in the evenings and then go out and get locked on a friday or saturday night with friends and begin the whole cycle again monday. i actually am starting to hate weekends now because of the routine, i need a change to my whole weekends. the thing is, i dont have much else to do with my time at weekends now that i am single so i always end up going and drinking on friday/saturday just to break things up and feel like i have a life. and then during the week im just sitting around killing time and thinking too much cause i have nothing else to do.

    i have done a few things in the last few months to change this. what i have worked out is, i dont like doing things on my own, i tried the gym, tried going out walking, cycling and things like that but i lose interest after a bit. i much prefer meeting people. i joined a beginners course in tennis with a group from work and loved it. i was crap at playing but really enjoyed just being with others and having a laugh. i am definitely a social person and am always at my happiest when i am meeting new people, doing new things and being busy. unfortunatly that course was only for 6 weeks so it is over now.

    so after all that rant, apologies, i wanna ask, does anyone have any suggestions on where i can start joining things that involve groups of young people doing things together. i am 27. i really have no idea where to start looking? i want my life to be way busier than it is now. i have joined a tag rugby team starting up in a few weeks but that is only one night a week it seems. i dont wanna join something that is very intense, so beginner courses in things will probably be my best bet, i want to do more things in groups. also i want my weekends to be busier so i can get out of this stupid rut of being hungover and not doing much with my time? please anyone....i am open to all suggestions, no idea where to start looking though? need to be enjoying being single rather than being depressed all the time thinking about my life!

    Check out meetup.com. There are lots of groups of people that meet for various interests: dancing, sports, gardening, night life, whatever you fancy. As you mention that you are a sociable person, this should be the perfect approach: do whatever interests you together with a group of like-minded people that you can socialize with.
