DS stopped going out as much

We relocated back to Yorkshire 18 months ago when my son was 16 - this was the hardest decision I have ever taken and one that we didn’t rush into. He seemed to love his first year at college but naturally misses his school friends - things have moved on but recently he’s staying in a lot at the weekends. I’m having an absolute meltdown about it as this isn’t usual for him. Any advice? He’s recently got together with a girl too but they have a bit of an online only relationship and don’t do anything together - his mood has definitely changed and I wonder if she is somehow stopping him from being his outgoing lovely self.

Why are you having a meltdown? That’s not going to help. Unless you think he’s depressed or struggling leave him be. My DD rarely went out on weekends at that age - said she had enough of socialising during the week.
