19 year old son doesn't go out

[PMA23]

My 19 year old son doesn't go out very often. I get the impression that his friends are out every weekend, pubs, clubs, etc. My son doesn't seem to enjoy this scene or drinking alcohol very much. I'm pleased he doesn't drink a lot but I'm worried that because he doesn't like these things that he's going to end up lonely with no friends. He doesn't seem unhappy, has a good job, a girlfriend, drives & goes to the gym. He's also been on boys holidays the past 2 years. Am I being silly worrying? Can anyone else relate to a similar situation?

You don't need to worry. He has friends. He has a girlfriend. His friends invite him on holiday. He goes to the gym and presumably out with his girlfriend? Not drinking to excess is a good thing. Maybe he loves being healthy. You could encourage him to join a football or rugby team, a tennis or hockey club and that might give him some social structure while still being healthy and not booze related. (Maybe not rugby then ) But he sounds well-balanced.

He sounds perfect. He is not alone as he has his gf and l presume some work colleagues. Also knows enough lads to join them on a holiday but is not out getting sloshed every weekend. And a job!
Sounds like any mothers dream if he is happy in himself. I definitely wouldn't worry but l know it's important to keep up with friends as relationships can break up. Think he will be fine.

I didn't like going out (as in pubs/clubs) at 19 and didn't start drinking alcohol until my mid 20s, and even then not loads. I had and have plenty of friends, a husband and kids plus a job I enjoy. Enjoyed uni, travelled afterwards and even lived abroad for a bit before settling back here with now dh. Don't worry about it.

Sounds like things are all good.

If he doesn’t go out how does he socialise with his gf and friends?
