    I have a great bunch of friends but all there interested in is Beers in the local, hit the town and do nothing else. Some are unemployed and around half have decent jobs. I would have loved to go to Electric picnic but about 10 friends wouldn't go so didn't go.

    If a concert or a match is on they wouldn't go and just rather sit in the local pub. There lives revolves around the pub and hitting the town and there is very little else happening with them. Some have girlfriends and they are exactly the same.

    I want to go on holidays, go to matches, go to concerts, maybe even walks, even the bloody cinema would be good but my social life is barraged around "the local".

    Its starting to extremely p miss me off! Really need to make new friends or get a girlfriend!

    Well you know what you've got to do.
    Try and join groups where you can meet people or maybe venture out by yourself some night to try and meet a girlfriend.
    If your friends are happy hanging out in the pub leave them. There's no point of dragging them somewhere they don't want to go.

    meetup.com is a great resource to meet people with whom you share interests. I was dubious of it at first but after taking the plunge my social life is better than it's ever been; I'm hardly ever home these days! It can be very daunting to take the plunge and just go meet up with a gang of strangers, but nothing ventured, nothing gained!

    Looks like you've outgrown your friends. You don't have to dump them or anything. Just get out there and try to meet new people.

    Thats small town mentality for you !! They wont change.So you are going to have to do it on your own...if you could get just one person to go with you that would be great...you seem to have your own mind so just follow it and go on your own, not easy at first but it gets easier...leave The Sheep at home !!
