My social life is starting to suck

Another friend of mine just got engaged. Told me the news today, so make that number 12 on the list. I'm happy for her, but it got me thinking.

Yes, I think I'm reaching the age where a lot of the people I know and are friends with are either in a very serious relationship, engaged, or married. Nobody wants to do anything anymore it seems since they all now have "other commitments". All of this happened after graduation. It sucks being single sometimes and being recently unemployed especially now doesn't help much in the way of fulfillment. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them, but man is it getting boring. I need to find ways to relieve the boredom. Guess it's time to venture out. I hate getting older. :sad:

Eh, it's just a phase. You'll find you stay friends with some through that transition and not with others.

Also, perhaps you should consider changing what you order on your pizza. I did and it transformed my life!

i kinda have a similar deal. i didn't go to college after graduating high school, i just kept working full time so everyone i know that's my age is always busy with school, and we hardly ever hangout unless they're on break. you just need to find other people to hang out with. a lot of the guys i work with are a good 15-20 yrs older than me so i don't really hangout with them, i find that having a membership at my local Y keeps me occupied when i have nothing to do. lots of hot ladies tend to show up too.

I feel like I just don't have the time to "hang out" with all my friends all the time anymore. There are some you see more than others, obviously. But I never pass up a good rager, and the opportunity for the drunken sharing of stories.

I know the feeling. I'm getting to that point where a lot of them are also having kids. That's even worse. At least the married folk would hang out occasionally.

just think. you could be like this guy.

your married friends may think this is strange, unorthodox, or unclassy. but they are just jealous because they are shackled by their marital status. you however are as free as a 16yr olds virginity. which is another perk of highschool parties.

hanging out with married people is weird, it isn't so much when you yourself at least have a gf. but last time i was hanging out with friends one couple was married, and the guy got all bitchy at his wife because "she was flirting with me" i don't think she was, but then again maybe i was just oblivious to it. i don't make a habit of picking up married women, especially not when her husband is a friend of mine, and even more so especially not when he's in the same room.

i found out the next day they got in a shouting match over it, and she called the police.

so it was pretty wierd, and i won't be hanging out with them anytime soon.
