What do you do alone on Friday and Saturday nights?

[amymaria]

When I was single weekends consisted of shopping alone, working out, hanging out with some friends having coffee/dinner/desserts, watch my movies and tv shows.

These are still all things I do on a regular basis though. Being with someone hasn't really changed my lifestye TOO much.

I think I was more asking about what to do on the weekends by yourself when you don't have friends to go out with... When you have no one, no friends or acquaintances? What do you when completely alone? Having a bf is irrelevant to me, one can still have a great life without one. I guess I meant what type of activities to do by yourself if you have no one to do them with you? Such as going out to a restaurant alone, perhaps going to a concert alone, etc? What are more fun solo activities you can do by yourself? I am pretty much always single so that's not the issue and I don't plan to get a bf or get married...

People responding with "going out for coffee with my friends" probably think that I meant to ask "What do you do alone on Friday and Saturday nights when you are single?" but that was not what I meant to ask. I meant to ask "What do you do alone on Friday and Sat night if you have no bf, no friends, and no family?"

Sorry if I didn't phrase it correctly the first time :)

So everyone please don't say "I go to vegas with my friends" or "I go get coffee with friends" etc... That doesn't count because that means you're not alone.. lol I meant to ask what do you do on weekend nights when you are COMPLETELY ALONE (meaning have no friends, family, bf)

Sorry, I didn't mean to ask what do you do the weekends when you are single, I meant to ask what do you do when you have no friends as well and are completely ALONE... If you have friends to go out with then you aren't alone!

I don't want a bf in the future. I meant, what do you do if you have no friends to hang out for coffee/dinner/deserts, what do you do when you are COMPLETELY ALONE? Do you go out to dinner alone? Go to a musical show alone? Cook alone? Drive to the beach at night alone? Stay home and watch tv? Surf on-line...? I am looking for SOLO activities I can do on my own without any friends but things that wouldn't seem too odd.

I guess no one can relate to my question because everyone has friends... everyone assumed I asked what do you do when you are single... It's probably my fault because I didnt word my first post properly, but that's what I meant. If you have friends to go for coffee with then you have a thriving social life already and aren't alone.

With all sincerity jackie, your posts have struck me. You really need to find someway to focus more on the positive things in life to get what you really want out of it. If we look for the good, we will see it. You need to do something for yourself that helps attract what you're looking for. Go to a coffee shop on a Friday or Sat. and strike up a conversation with someone. Be friendly to the people in places you frequent most. You might just find what you're looking for.

I don't understand your post. I am just looking for suggestions for solo activities I can do on my own. I actually don't want to meet anyone; I'm not interested in dating and I'm not really sociable. I was just asking for fun things to do for MYSELF on the weekends. I am not sure what you meant with "help attract what I'm looking for". What do you mean by that, what do you think I'm looking for? I am not looking to meet anyone, just fun things to do on my own. I was looking for things I can do for myself as you stated.

really?
it's not good to be alone all the time....since you work from home already. try meetup.com not suggesting you to meet ppl there...but at least you get to social with ppl. it'll do you good.
or try sitting in a cafe with your book or laptop during a friday/saturday afternoon...

Actually I started to play tennis already and there were a few other people in my class but I didn't meet or click with anyone. I didn't really talk to any of the other folks. I also took some college classes a few years ago but I still didn't meet anyone. I'm just a really introverted person, it's just how I am. I already was this way back in high school; I used to eat lunch alone etc.
I have always been this way since I was born. I just prefer doing things alone.

i dont have a weekend holiday indeed,i am having a restaurant to run and it is only closed in monday, so normally i will do ntg and stay at home on that day..i have to meet many kinds of customer daily(moronic, sarcastic, pleasant), so i prefer to be alone when i am not working,typically i just need more rest, i dont even like to talk too much on monday haha~my social activities are mostly done in wednesday and saturday nights,so i dont arrange to meet up with anyone in monday,my friends know my habit and they wont find me as well~i just do whatever things that i feel like doing on that day--mosty sleeping, sometimes swimming, playing golf, reading, making fruit juice, having spa in my bath room or i can just simply doing nothing haha~i just love to be alone when i am not working, maybe i have talked too much when i am working..i enjoy to be alone~and yes, i dont go shopping too~

as the saying goes, no man/woman is an island. you always go on about being a loner but if you truly were, you would not be reaching out to people on a social network like TPF. just because you are alone and have been since a child does not mean you don't want or need others in your life. you constantly tell us all how terrible things have been for you and your threads are always about pointing out how you have been mistreated. the fact that you post these things publicly shows that you DO want attention from people. there is nothing wrong with that. we all do. just stop harping on being a loner - I am basically a loner too but all that means is that I am completely comfortable with being by myself. I get the feeling you repel people in real life because you don't trust other people or are afraid of being hurt. well, join the club. no one likes being hurt but it happens to everyone. stop walking around with that little black cloud over your head, try to see the good in others and project the good in yourself for others to see. if you walk around with nothing but negativity in your head and in your heart, trust me, it manifests in your entire aura and people can pick up on that a mile away.
sure there are plenty of things to do by yourself but unless you are living on a secluded island, you are going to have to share whatever space you are in with others and you need to learn how to be more welcoming of that and let your guard down and give people the benefit of the doubt. we are all in this world together. gotta learn to get along with people IRL as well as on the internet.

I usually do the above on regular weekdays already anyways... Shouldn't I be doing something more "special" on Friday/Saturday? What else is there to do though to make the weekend special if you are alone and have no friends? lol I can't go out and do the nightlife thing by myself. So what else is there to do? It's almost midnight and I am so bored... I spent my Saturday night just on-line surfing and listening. For my late-night outing nightlife I will probably end up driving to In N Out to get some french fries before it closes. That is my "nightlife" for the weekend...

What's so special about Friday and Saturday / the weekend? I do understand it's special for people who do 9-5 jobs and it's something to look forward to and a time to relax, but if you don't do a 9-5 job and don't keep company with people who do, why should it be so important compared to, say, 2pm on Tuesday?

shoo....good post!!
jackie...i think a lot of tpfers care about your well being....

[redney]

Totally agree with Shoo's post 100%. She's right on the money, Jackie.

I am guessing you work during the day from Monday to Friday. So Sat and Sun are your only free daytimes.

Do you like outdoors? If so, you can find some parks close to you and go hiking or biking. It is very relaxing and it's something you can easily do alone. And it will give you an entirely different environment from your daily life.
