| I am single and all my friends are married or have moved and I need sum thing to get me out of the house. I am just looking for ideas i know the chances of any one living close enough to me for a specific place to go is slim, and with out specifics it might be more helpful to others with the same problem. All so if you are going to post any thing derogatory or mean just try to make it funny i can all ways use a good laugh. o and any place but a pub or bar that's obvious place to go for a drunk and not a option for me or any one that doesn't drink. |
| I have the same problem, all of my friends are getting married and even becoming parents. They don't have time to hang out anymore. I'm also single. To keep me busy and also meet new people I started to go to japanese classes. Travel is also a good way to meet new people. There's always someone available you can invite and that person brings other people and so on. |
| You don't need to drink at a pub/bar, just saying. |
 |
| If you want to meet new people, something that gets more difficult as one gets older, you could try: Going to a club, you don't have to drink, just dance. Joining a gym. Studying: language, cooking, certifications, etc. Or just hanging out with your married friends, they might introduce you to someone (the favorite hobby of married people). If you don't want to go out solely to meet new people, then just do whatever you feel like to. |
  |
| I didn't even know this was a problem. |
| Go to the park/botanical garden. Wonderful place. Or the nearest forest. Greenery always has a pleasant effect on the eyes. |

I have ben looking in to Japanese classes I thought that would be perfect way to spend my free time but I cant find any in my area the closest I found was to far by the time I got out of work and drove there the class was almost over SlothieSloth said: You don't need to drink at a pub/bar, just saying. that's true I did try that twice at the first bar the bar tender gave me a hard time for not ordering any alcohol and the second I almost got in a fight with a very aggressive drunk so I would like to stay away from bars if I can |

| In what form do you want to go out? Single and trying to get in a relationship going out? OR Single and staying single going out? Or Single and simply going out to not stay at your house all the time? If its the last one, get a job. Call your friends. Do a sport, and activity, a club, or bodybuilding, etc. |

Or Single and simply going out to not stay at your house all the time? If its the last one, get a job. Call your friends. Do a sport, and activity, a club, or bodybuilding, etc. mostly to just get out of the house. I would love to meat sum one to make friends with or get in a relationship with but that's just a benefit of getting out of the house. I cant rely on any friends I have now they are busy being part of a family now so I am flying solo and just having a hard time thinking of places to go and spend time. Chakaara said: Go on a bridge. Jump. that solution is a little to permanent for me but thanks and I asked if you could make the non helpful comments funny, this ones not quite there yet elevenletters said: Chakaara said: Go on a bridge. Jump. ...and land on a gay cruise ship where you learn the true value of friendship and tolerance. With your new set of values, you can now venture the world in search of your soul mate. not funny enough try again |
Chakaara said: Go on a bridge. Jump. Do you want to talk about what's upsetting you? |
| I hear this commercial all the time on the radio. "Are you single, and all of your friends are married? Maybe you're new in town and looking for new friends? Try Events and Adventures, blahblahblahblahblah" By the way, it costs multiple hundreds a month to join these guys and i've heard it's a sausagefest. |
| I love naruto~kun he's my husbando~~~~ |
| ^ Untopable. Why don't you join a sports club then, that way it should be easy to make friends and as a bonus you'd be fitter + it's fun. |

| When I get sick of sitting on my ass at home, I usually just go out and do things alone. If you're lonely you might as well make the most out of your solitude. One of my favorite activities is to just get out and walk around with no particular destination. Just grab your music player or what have you and explore the world around you for a few hours. You see so many cool little things and the memories of your little journeys kind of stick with you. If you want to meet new people, you could always go to your favorite band's concert and get in touch with people who share your music taste. That's what I normally do. I would suggest drinking a little since having a few beers makes it a little easier to socialize, but it's not really necessary I guess if you're not into it. Other than that, I dunno. Join a club or something? |

Caze said: Might find corpses if necrophilia is your thang. Don't know how many people you're going to find in a forest though. Uhm. I would say visit places that reflect what you like to do. If you like to read: hit up the library or join a book club. Join a club or some crap. Plus, keep an eye out for things to do around your area. |

| Watch an early Ultimate Warrior promo and go to the gym to pump iron. |
| You didn't specify what you want. You want your own partner? Or you just plainly want to go on somewhere that single person can go? Well, if you want a partner, I mean a serious partner, looking for a job is a good step. If you just want some place to go wherein most singles go, uuhhmmm... Play video games in malls, or play arcade.. |

| Besides clubs and the gym; you can try frequenting a bookstore and talk to someone reading something similar, I made a friend that way once. I'd also recommend work but it would make things complicated once you guys start having problems in your relationship. Feel free to do so at your own accord though Happy Hunting! |

Le_Fay said: I am single and all my friends are married or have moved and I need sum thing to get me out of the house. I'm a year older than you, I know what you mean. If you like sports (i.e. running or cycling/mtb) you can make a daily schedule for your workout and meet some people sharing your interests. You can also try to look for book clubs near you, take courses about something you like (and that can also become your new job if you aren't satisfied with your actual job) and go to events like fairs and concerts. Make a list of your objectives in life and then try to fulfill them. Good luck! P.s. If you're looking for some inspiration about making objectives try to read: http://www.dannychoo.com/en/post/26094/How+Discovering+Japan+Changed+My+Life.html |

| How about MeetUp? http://www.meetup.com/find/ my shrink wants me to do it, but i don't share many interests with the groups on there. But from what i see, it would be safer than going on some match.com shit, and you would meet people with similar interests. sounds like a win-win, i'm just not so confident lately to do it myself (and theres the interests problem lol) |
daintybiscuit said: How about MeetUp? http://www.meetup.com/find/ Instead of posting a sardonic response I was going to suggest something similar to this but that site seems better than taking a random class (like a pottery class), which is what I was going to suggest. Browsed the site and it seems like I hit the jackpot:  Holy shit, this site is amazing. I found an atheist group: "We love and respect all people, but do not love and respect their faiths." That's gold, Jerry. Gold! |

| I'd sooner commit sudoku than go to an atheist meetup, but that site is indeed kinda cool. |
