Friday nights used to be exciting, but lately, they just feel draining. I'd rather go home and watch something on Netflix than go out with the guys after work. I'm single though and I do want to meet someone, but I'm so over the bar scene because it's just not fun anymore. Anyone else out there who feels like they've outgrown the typical Friday night routine? What are Friday nights like for you?

Order a pizza and seduce the delivery person - I have seen lots of use cases on the internet for how this works super well.

The last time I've had a "Friday night going out routine" was probably around 14 years ago when I was about to turn 30.

I go to a great AA meeting Fridays at 5, perfect way to start the weekend and I have met a lot of incredible people who have real conversations instead of this get-to-know-you chit chat bullshit you get it normal society. It’s really fantastic.

Congrats on your sobriety. Keep on keeping on. Day at a time.

Get married and have a family. You would look back at these Friday nights and might have a different perspective!

Yes, same, I just don’t go to the bars anymore. I would much rather grab dinner or go to an event. I want to hear people talk and actually have conversations 😃. Us women, are over the bar scene too.

Where do you live? We “drained” consultants can all hang out and watch Netflix together on a Friday (40+ female consultant here)

Fantastic. Highly recommend.

I did this exact same thing last night 🤷🏻‍♀️

I get it. The energy I used to have for a night out just isn’t there anymore. These days, my ideal Friday night is ordering takeout and watching a show I’ll probably fall asleep to halfway through. I still want to meet someone, but bars aren’t my scene anymore either.

Same. Like M2’s idea of trying out local groups that is able to empathize with the lifestyle.
