The issue isn't with my friend, it's with me and going out out. Last few years I've become introverted. I think it's because I've put on a little weight, I've let my hair go and its no longer a decent cut/lost it's shape, I've grown the colour out. I don't want to be seen out out. I also now loathe busy noisy bars, where I used to be in these all the time up to around 2-3 years ago. I have agreed to go out out with my friend. She is single and and wants to mingle, type of thing, with me as her wing-woman. I haven't been out with my friend for quite some time, we've gotten used to just being at each others houses for drinks/dinner. She is desperate to go out out. I feel like I owe it to her to go with her. I'm just going to have to suck it up, aren't I ? I've tried to suggest we go out for dinner and quiet drinks but she is wanting to do a bit more than that. I'm dreading it. It will be a messy, noisy & quite late night. She will love it.
