So bored!

I love my friends, and I have a small close knit circle of them that I can turn to for anything, but I’m bored and frustrated. It’s the weekend, Saturday night, and I’m stuck at home by myself (single parent, sons are at their dads) with nowhere to go and no one to spend it with. I really want to meet new people and expand my social circle as I feel like my friends don’t want to go out as much as I do, for various reasons, oh I can’t afford it (understandable) or they have other things going on. I see other people always out doing things with friends and I feel like I don’t have enough people to call on to meet up with. Even doing something small like meeting up for a coffee more regularly or just hanging out at home would be nice! I guess I feel lonely. I’m single, and yes I can appreciate my own company but I don’t want to all the time. I work full time during the week and it would be nice to have more things to look forward to on my child free weekends 😐 anyone else feel the same? Or know any good apps where I can meet new people to socialise with?

Can you not maybe meet at friends houses and have drinks, takeaways etc, if they are struggling to get out of the house? Oh by the way I am soooo jealous you have kid free weekends hahahahaah. X

Sometimes. But sometimes I’ll suggest it and in response I’ll get ‘yes let’s arrange something soon’ and soon takes a long time to happen. Just would be nice to not always have to ‘wait’ on people 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ha ha its nice to have a break from being mum but I feel quite lonely a lot of the time, sound like a right saddo lol x

No you don't sound like a saddo At all!! I feel lonely all of the time and I always have a house full. And it's difficult I know, when everyone has their own lives, it's difficult to meet up etc. What area do you live in? Have you any hobbies etc?

NMs made one actually just the other day! It's called Mush.

I know the name is a bit dodgy Grin but hope you find what your looking for.

Thank you 😊 I live in north east London. Do the gym and Pilates count as hobbies? 🙈 I’d love to have a proper hobby but can’t seem to find anything that interests me

Do you fancy a dance class? Lyrical Jazz dance, Fridays 7pm. Sounds fun. Maybe they all go for a drink after. Is it near you?
