What do you do when hanging out with friends?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey all, just a simple question.

I don't hang out or go out much at all. Only activity I do with friends (pretty much all NT) are having lunch or dinner together. Other than that I'm pretty clueless.

I guess playing video games together could count, but that's usually done online and not next to each other.

Thanks

I do similar things that you do. My friends and I eat, talk, play video games. We do the steriotypical girl activities, paining each other's nails, doing each other's hair. Also, my bff invites me to events at her church. We go see movies occasionally and watch them at each others houses all the time.

The last time I did we went to a music store to pick up her drumkit bags, and then we had a Slushie together.

The things I like to do with my friends at college is watch movies, watch sports, play sports, and eat. We're out for summer right now but during the year we would usually go out on weekends to play ultimate frisbee.

No matter whom I'm with or not with, what I do is entertain myself and have a good time. I've been known to leave the room filled with lots of friends because I got bored with whatever it was they were doing. I won't be rude about it, or leave if I'm supposed to be the hostess or something, but if it's just friends over and my roommate are being the hosts, or if I'm out at a party of something, I make no bones about going outside, going to my room, or leaving.

Things I do

Go to a sporting event

Go bowling

Go to a bar

See a movie

See a show (your in New York City after all)

Go shooting (all but impossible in NYC and difficult in the surrounding counties)

Drink some beer at their house or mine, and hang out and talk

Watch movies

Put some music videos in the tv

Play sports

Go out at night.

Mainly though, I know they are friends when seeing them is more important than whichever activity we choose to do that day.

I prefer to participate in structured activities (with my friends) - it's easier to interact in structured situations, because there's always a focus for interactions. That's why I like being in little theatre, community choirs, and stuff like that.

Usually play Video games, Build computers, Visit the Planetarium, or Play music.

One thing I don't like doing with friends is usually watching tv and movies, if I wanted to do that I'd just stay home by myself and do it. When I'm with friend's it's usually a party, going to the movies, going to a theme park, shopping or getting into some kind of trouble.

I can't have a meal with someone unless they are very social and talkative. I usually go sailing or play video games among other special interest activities.

Hang out with friends? Basically...

-going for lunch/dinner
-playing video games (mostly)
-go see a movie
-just chill out somewhere

Basically that. But that was last year when I was more social and had better connections with friends. Nowadays I rarely go hang out with people. My social life is getting worse, old friends are getting out of touch, and can't seem to get any new friends.

God, difficult to remember, it has been so long...

• Hang out in a park and talk;
• Walk to some defined place, do what has to be done there, rest, then walk back;
• Go to a restaurant (though that is normally part of something else);
• Go the the grocery store and buy random food;
• Watch a movie (at home, so you can chat);
• Teach each other some practical skill (such as cooking);
• Choose a more or less random venue, then meet way early and talk.

Depends on which friend. Last summer I went to see a friend I haven't seen in years. We spent the weekend at his mothers house, about 200 miles away. I grew up with him and he's like a brother to me. We spent our time together doing yard work for his mother, eating, talking - (all that old "remember when" stuff, and what everybody is doing now), watching tv, and listening to music. The first night we sat on the back porch and drank vodka and smoked cigarettes.

My other friend (the one who lives near me) with her, we just sit around in her livingroom. We talk to each other on FB when we are four feet from each other. She's on it on her phone, I'm on it on her laptop. We also drink vodka. Sometimes we eat hamburgers. One time we did drink a lot of vodka and then dress up in extremely dressy evening gowns and sat around her livingroom talking to each other on FB.

My kids mainly play video games, watch tv or movies, or listen to music when they hang out with their friends. Occasionally they do activities that take them out of the house.

When I was in my teens, we used to ride around in cars to hang out. Gas was cheap then though. Sometimes someone would have two beers they snuck out of their parents house and we shared them, and sometimes somebody had cigarettes, or even pot. Oooooh, pot lol.

That's pretty much it. It's not exciting.

Friends?


I just bring a book and keep my nose in it, saying as little as possible. When I talk people don't listen anyway.

A group of friends and I made a 'forever alone club' because we're all relationshipless. Usually we have movie marathons, go to the beach or having a picnic in the botanical gardens.
