Having reached the grand old age of 28 (29 in January), I’m finding that my friends are socialising less and less.
For context, most of my mates in Southampton hark back to my uni days. Barely a weekend would go by without some form of party or night out. Maybe every fortnight at a push, although even then there’d be the odd midweek event now and again. Also bear in mind that although many are now partnered off, only one couple has a child.
This year it’s dropped off a cliff though. In your lot’s experience, is this about the age you’d expect for social lives to tail?
[EDIT] Also, I’m not just talking about going out and getting smashed here. Any social activity would be nice. Or some games/movie nights in. Organising it just seems to be constant effort, with people bailing left, right and centre.
I’ve never really noticed it, but circumstances are behind much of that. My core group of friends is still mostly the people I went to Cantell with. Zooming up to Liverpool for Uni meant that the days of going out week to week were over anyway, and we always made an effort to see each other when it is geographically convenient, or go out of our way to see each other. If you make that much effort to start with, you know you’re going to have a good time.
That all said, I’d had enough of going out week to week in Liverpool by the ripe old age of 29.
All of my friends became very boring when they started dating their future wives. As I didnt get hitched until I was 41 I had to find several new and younger people to hang around with. As they had lots of female friends that wasnt such a bad thing!
If you’re at a loose end sometime, maybe you should try ‘meetup’?, there are lots of different groups involving different activities such as cycling, walking etc, as well as going on the p***…you’re still young so you’d deffo find something more ‘lively’.
