Friday Nights

Post Reply New Topic

Urrrgh. I hate Friday nights. Generally, 90% of the time I don't mind being an aspie, socially inept, and single. But Friday and Saturday nights are really hard, they were especially so in my later 20's and 30's (I'm 33 now). I keep hearing of friends going on date nights and stuff. Sigh.

You'll get to a point where you don't care about keeping up with others in that regard.

I used to go out every friday and socialize but I've gotten to a point where my time is better spent working on my films and Wrong Planet. I feel good knowing that I've done more with my life already than 99% of the girls at the club will do in their entire lifetime. That puts the importance of "going out" in perspective.

I used to "go out" in college a lot, but being out of college it's a lot harder. I was never a clubbing-type, but would go once in awhile. Alex, where in DC are you? You can give me a general are, i.e, Georgetown or SW....or not .

I need to figure out another hobby then I guess. I watch movies sometimes.

I went to a club and dated someone I had met there. It was an experience that was entirely boring to me and was a complete waste of time.

I am much happier when submerged in my music

Yeah, I have never really figured out the transition from meeting people in college and going out and doing stuff, and being on your own after college without the built-in social scene. The whole bar scene just isn't that appealing after a while. If you sit at home, you get that loser feeling, but there just isn't a whole lot to do that doesn't involve drinking and going to clubs here.

Uggh - I HATE Friday/Saturday nights!

Going out/staying in, doesn't matter - I still feel like a total alien/creep/loser either way, I try to go to sleep as early as possible...

I don't feel like this when I'm in a relationship (rare in my case) - it's wrong, but that's how it is and I really don't know how to change it - how can I accept myself if nobody else can?

I think this is why so many guys end up addicted to gaming (or worse)...

My gosh, I'm just a @#$^ing ray of sunshine, aren't I?

I always feel as though I'm terribly dull, whenever the weekend is upon me. I never go out. I don't like it. But I still feel as though I'm missing out, even though I never enjoy dressing up, going out and socializing with people I don't even care for. It's the whole "everyone-else-is-doing-it"-thing. But at least my boyfriend doesn't go out that much. He's almost 30, been there - done that. I enjoy spending Friday nights playing video games and relaxing. ^^

I think I've gotten so use to these weekends that it doesn't make a big difference. I've been to clubs and never found the music or people in them very entertaining....too fake and the music usually sucks. But yeah I live across the street from a clubhouse and whenever I see friends and couples get together I keep thinking I should be doing something.

I've been going out every single weekend for the last few months. I realized that I needed to improve my social skills and the only way to do that was to go out and meet new people to interact with. Also I'm finally going to date again after 3 years so it's been important for me to know how to speak to ladies in the first place... apparently I had completely forgotten how to without getting all nervous and stuff.

I've made some friends along the way so it's cool
