How often do you go out and socialise with others?

I mean like nights out, days out, parties etc obviously not counting work/school/college and so on..

[Niamh.]

Ugh rarely these days tbh unless it's some sort of family occasion. I try to meet up with my 3 closest girlfriends every couple of months for a night out but we're all busy with work, kids etc so it's harder than it used to be. The worst is getting motivated to do it, the couch, a fire, TV and a bottle of wine usually seems more appealing these days

[Mystic Mock]

Not very often tbh.

In particular with parties I don't know if everyone would like me pushing for a Heavy Metal party.

[caprimint]

Probably on average once a week, parties/nights out aren't really my thing though. I'm cool with just staying in and chilling with my housemates tbh.

[smudgie]

I don't go out socialising at all really.
Socialising comes to me.
I can't get out and about without my chair now, difficult to go visiting even as to access, however, everyone comes to us.
I see different friends most weeks and drink loads of coffee

[Livia]

I prefer my small group of friends, dinner parties, getting together for drinks... I'm not much of a party person.

[LemonJam]

Two weekend days and one or two days after work. I'd go crazy if I didn't go out at least once in the week.

[Babayaro.]

I only really do stuff with my 'best' mate but it can vary. Like sometimes we'll just go for a drive and decide to get food somewhere or go out to the pub/club randomly. The last couple of months we've done that pretty much every Thursday lol.

I love dating.

This is me

[Deirdre]

I don't have many friends, literally two, so maybe once a month we'd go drinking, which I hate

[AnnieK]

I used to be out pretty much from Thursday till Sunday then my son came along and I retired until he was about 5 I go out usually once a week now but hangovers get so much worse when you're older I've found so tend to go for meals now

[Cal.]

On average once a week - but there's weeks I'll do nothing and then weeks I'll go out 3 times so it's all relative.

I love you and Jonathan

[reece(:]

At least twice a week

[Kizzy]

Social what?... Since I decided to revamp my hovel there's no money for anything

[Daniel-X]

Once a week usually. But it's usually just a few drinks at the local Spoons on a Friday or something.

[waterhog]

I socialise every night and into the early hours some nights - tibb is my no1 socialiser

[Tozzie]

My working hours during the day are staggered I'm out every day Monday to Friday socialising with my friends, might be breakfast, might be lunch or might be just coffee. I like to keep my weekends free although I'm going to a friends house tomorrow! I rarely go out at night now unless its to the cinema. Sundays are a no no for socialising, Sunday is my day of rest spent having a lie and lolling around in my jim jams all day. Love Sundays!

[user104658]

Since having kids, rarely (like every couple of months) and since my wife went back to uni, pretty much never . Most of her placements require a weekend day, and I have to work every Saturday, so she has to do every Sunday. Plus I work every Friday evening until 11.

Me and two of my friends have been trying to organise a drink for over 5 months and have yet to manage it . One of them has his first kid now too, so it's even harder to arrange things than it used to be.

I also suffer from the same "old married couple" syndrome as those above; even when I do arrange something, I have to psyche myself up for it because most of the time I'd rather just stay home, get snacks in and watch a film .

[user104658]

To be fair I also think I suffered major burnout at some point. I was out twice a week from age 16 until Uni, then in first year Uni at one point I was out 4 nights a week . A bit less in 2nd year and then by third year I just couldn't be arsed any more and the desire has never really come back...

[BigSister]

Only really go out when its someones birthday sometimes I go out for a meal at the weekend and as for days out I try to once or twice a week as a treat

[armand.kay]

Probably everyday but thats like a mate coming round mine etc

Me and my closest friend, in an effort to try and catch up more have resorted to meeting for breakfast, it's about the only way we can meet a bit more often

Same, here, the worst was when I was 18-20 and I did bar work, it was all split shifts and I worked in central London so going home wasn't really an option for the three hour break so we all used to just go next door to the student bar, then go back to work, and then drink away in the bar after we closed, literally every day for almost 2 years :/ I can't do 2 days in a row these days
