    So, i moved to dublin recently to start a new job, which i really like. And i get on well with the people there. But apart from those work friends, i feel totally alone. Every weekend is spent doing nothing, i never go out at all anymore.
    What should i do? is it normal or acceptable to just go out alone?

    OP,

    at some stage when you go to a pub, yer bound to be the only person you know there. More likely when your new. I've been to a few places by myself and got to joke around with the crowd and had a laugh.

    There's no harm in it either way, if you prefer to stay in, your not getting in anyone elses way. If you'd rather go out... well i'm sure there's a socialising section somewhere here. Not nessiciarly for meet ups and not advising to meet up with someoen you dont know through here either, but they'd probably have some info on the places people hang out at and what kind of athmosphere you'd expect there...

    you could always try going out for a beer with your workfriends.. they might be out with friends of theirs not from work and through that you could end up with a wider circle of mates! tadaa! :)

    Ok, so what do you like to do except drinking? Focus on that and go and do it and the social life will follow.

    Hey unreg. I just copied this from another forum. Should be a good nite. Why dont you come along. Seems to be great interest.

    Offishul 'Recession-Me-Hole" €5 Cocktail Night - 27th March, Capital Lounge 5:30pm
    Ladies and Gents!

    In these dull and dreary times of doom and gloom we thought it only right that we do our bit in boosting the economy the best way we know how......drinking!!

    The colourful contents of the cocktail menu should bring some light into these dark days smile.gif

    So the proposal is...

    Date: March 27th 2009
    Venue: Capitol Lounge, George's Street (to start off anyway...)
    Time: 5:30pm onwards



    And in case anyone isn't sure...the boys are very welcome to attend!!
