Stainboy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just want to have a social like outside of clubs / drinking and want to meet new people! Yeah that stuff gets so boring in the end doesn't it. I don't even really like drinking anymore but still seem to end up doing it as it's everyone's default activity. I went to visit a friend in Leeds the weekend before last, she persuaded me to go out and because she got cheap drinks in the club whe works at was insisting I drank all night long after I'd had enough. Took me a lot of years to realise when having enough was but I recognise it a lot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinklilbean Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Kai and Stainboy Sounds like there are quite a few of us in the same boat! Maybe we should organise a mini meet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizabella Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think we should. I know what you mean about drinking being a "default" activity, and its never just one or two, like a social drink, which is what I like, its shots after vodka etc etc and it just ends badly. I think some people are just too lazy or uninspired to find other things to do! There's loads in Sheffield, we should be taking full advantage of it! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenfa Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Here's another one with the same situation..! I have just come out of a long distance relationship and have realised how little else I did... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms_Demeanour Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm also in a similar situation. I have looked at the forum meets and would love to attend one, it's just the thought of walking into a strange place and not knowing anyone there that is a bit off putting. I decided I would be brave and attend the next one so if anyone else would like to meet me outside the venue so we could enter the lions den together then I would much appreciate it.

Becky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Ellie, I know exactly how you feel. I've lived in Sheffield a while after staying on after uni, but most of my friends have moved on, mostly to London, I can't imagine why! However I have managed to make new ones and I think the old ones might come back after a while when they've done the London thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainboy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Here's another one with the same situation..! I have just come out of a long distance relationship and have realised how little else I did... :/ I know how you feel, I didn't do much else outside of my relationship either or see anyone else. It wasn't long distance though, I moved up here especially so it wouldn't be and have ended up staying. I'd go for a more smaller meet though it's handy if people are into the same things as you are. I'm 28, kind of look like a cross between a goth and a hippy depending on what I'm wearing, I go to the cinema whenever I can, I'm pretty geeky, like video games, cult tv, not as into music as most seem to be but kinda into some industrial/metal at the mo. Gonna also get back into poi/staff spinning and join the group at the uni. I'm planning on going back to uni as a mature student, would like to study maths and stay in education forever, studying, research, lecturing, etc. I'm also pretty honest these days about suffering sometimes crippling anxiety which is why I can't do the large meets people set up. I need to work up to that. I'm not at all a bag of nerves in person though, people think I'm incredibly relaxed! Tho I do have the telltale signs of constant leg tapping.
