What do you single people do with all your spare time?

SarahSassy

So what do you do to fill time when all of your friends are off with their significant other?

I find the weekends can be long and tend to plan well ahead... I go out a lot (prob too much ) and watch a lot of dvd's.. In fact I dont really know what I do with my time and am just curious what other people do especially over the weekends.

I'm on trhe same boat as yours when my freinds are away or busy with their better half..

One thing I do hough is that I try to find new things to try...

work - I work as a freelance artist so I set my own hours which can be good but deadlines are usually tight so often have all nighters. Also I don't have weekdays and weekends I just have days.

Haha thanks for the offer but I have a face like a bag of hammers so you would not want to be seen in public with me

Could be the perfect match.

SarahSassy & MonkeyFudge.. .

Thats very cool of you both to do that!! I'm the same. I work monday to Friday so the weekends are my own, and can be hard to occupy ones mind. . So I do alot of shopping, and waste money on clothes I dont need. but hey. . . Whats a single girl to do who has nothing else to do with her time??

Geez!! Any baby faces here???

I spend my time in college, then work, then college, then more work. Almost all of my friends are in relationships so I go out the odd time when my few single buddies are around.

I try not to go out with couples anymore. I always end up on my own (well with random freaks trying it on) when they're off schmoozing! After a spiking incident last year I've learned to never go out with just a couple

ChewChew

wow mizzlolly, thats a bit mad alright. hope your ok after it??

Its very hard to get comfortable in the company of a couple. and hard to have a conversation without it referring back to the couple.

Thats a whole other thread

Oh and to answer the question... I don't have too much spare time, so unfortunately it's not that big an issue for me.

I like to spend as much time as possible sleeping on the weekend... mmm... lovely sleep.

ChewChew

your soooo right SS. . . lets not go there. .

Yeah I'm fine thanks. The lovely bouncers stepped in and saved me. I think I was hitting them though, I can't remember. I don't know what the hell happened. Have to say, they were great though! They noticed what was happening before I did (coz I didn't really even know my name at the time )


Pr*ck! :mad:

fits

If I had money, I could think of loadsa things I'd get up to on the weekend. Unfortunately, I've been on the breadline for something like 200 million years now so all I can do is dream. I'd spend my weekends mucking about with horses and dogs and travelling and eating otherwise I reckon. And I want to do a photography course (I dont even have a camera), and yoga, and go to more gigs.
Being single with a bit of money sounds perfectly dreamy to me at the moment tbh.

For the last while I've been spending my weekends studying for mcps to get a better job - borrrrrring. In between that I buy myself presents (for studying), sleep , post on boards, read other peoples posts on boards, play some games, and generally potter around.

Yeah sounds familiar MizzLolly, i do the exact same with my time, college..work..college..work.. And yeah my friends are all (apart from a couple) in relationships!! Do you find it to be as much of a pain as i do sometimes?

Dragan

The gym a few times a week. Read, write, do photography, learn about Photoshop ( the last two have been taking a lot of my time lately ), trying to get back painting and drawing again as well. Surf the web of course, listen to music a lot while i am doing all that, head to the cinema, meet friends for drinks and meals, go to gigs quite a bit, normally every two weeks or so, lots of club nights, wander around town and see stuff like museums and galleries, practice poi, hang out with friends.

By and large what everyone else does but a lot of it because i don't sleep.

Yeah, it's an absolute bitch. Repetitive and exhausting!!!!
Then when you have assignments due its so hard to keep your job going and get all the college work done too.

Then when its all over and you just wana kick back and relax, there's always that time when all your coupled friends are with their partners in the cinema or walking around the park or something (even though they invite you along too) you always refuse coz you feel like a third wheel.(I did even when I was in relationships and my partner wasn't around) So then you work and work and work .... and at the end of it all you can look forward to... going to work!! lol Aint it fun!

I very rarely come to this forum but a quick scan of the recent threads finds you banging on about relationships in all of them. What gives?

The weekends? Hmmm, mostly animal sacrifices and rituals - then on Sunday night i surf the net looking for the best way to get animal blood out of ceremonial robes.*

*this is the anwer i give people on a Monday when i'm feeling a little grouchy and not-yet-fully awake.

coz we're not in relationships and we're tryna make a point that if all threads in here MUST be relationship related then we can start talking about being single!!

As a single sister....I can't help feeling that logic is petty, and smacks of insecurity.

No.. more frantic tbh. Having been insulted endlessly, it is only fair!

Having been called an old spinster by a mod here... yes!

If these threads are being created purely 'just to makes a point' then I see them as baiting. i don't really understand what has been happening but I am going to close this one until I hear a more logical argument.

MizzLolly

And back off, I didn't make the thread!


I answered for Sarah. I imagine they are her reasons in any case!

Thread re-opened as per SarahS's request. Please no more derailing and keep it on topic.

Tbh I would be worried where I would fit dating into my life right now never mind a new relationship, my life is pretty full between my kids, family, friends and doing thinks I want and like to do.
My weekend get booked up pretty fast.

aye

weekends are spent with gym, study, going out, meeting friends, calling down to my dad, watching a film maybe, washing the car etc.

i find they arent long enough to be honest, always running around.
