This might split the introverts and extroverts. I'm female, more in the introvert camp, single, enjoy gym classes and going to sports clubs. I like talking to people and I do have friends, but not what I'd call anybody or a group who want to meet up on a regular basis to do stuff, people often seem to be doing their own thing and have their own stuff going on. I'm also happy enough reading or watching films at home sometimes.
For me though, part of the reason I'd like a partner is someone to have day trips, holidays, and do fun stuff with rather than alone. It's that much harder to organise things like that with friends.
But quite often I come across single men who are well into their 30s and seem to have a very active social life every weekend. It makes me wonder if they would want to see a partner that much or if they would adapt (or not) if things became more serious. And you feel in early dates as though you're being fit into a schedule. I also wonder how they know that many people who are so regularly available at this age. What are other people's views on this?
