Here I am sitting alone on a Friday night at my apartment. Again. I'm ok with it really.
I was just thinking though, as I was getting out the ice cream, that I wondered how many people are out there that, too, are staying in on a Friday. How much do you guys hang out at home, alone? Am I weird or is this a normal thing that people do? I wonder since I've always been the social butterfly who was rarely home, but lately, it's all I like doing - sitting on the couch, surfing the net, spacing out to the television.
So, how much do you lovelies out there stay in too? I'm totally curious.

I don't mind staying in on weekend night. I usually prefer going out during the day anyways. Surfing the web may not be as exciting as it used to be, but I still enjoy it.
Playing on pokerstars and other pokersites I find stimulating.
i stay in too much. i feel i have no choice on weekends. weekend activities seem geared towards couples. can't go out to eat at a restaurant, crowded and everyone is waiting for a table. i hate it, reminds me i'm a loser who will never be with anyone.

Maybe not the loser part, but I can agree that weekend activities just seem more suited for couples. I can never spend a weekend out without first making and getting definite plans, otherwise I would find myself home on a weekend, drinking by myself and drunk texting people.
And sometimes going out by myself gets relatively boring without company. Having people around on a Saturday night keeps me sane.

I'm real used to having somebody around. Whether it was my roommate at school or a family member at home, but now I'm up at my apt. taking a summer class and it is a new kind of loneliness. I mean, I can call up a friend and hang out. But when I come home and no one is there and I sleep alone, thats a new feeling for me. But I"ve gotten used to it because I know lots of people out there are alone at home, but that's the beauty of the web sometimes.
You can be friends online with people you've never met before and it'll help comfort that lonely feeling. But it definitely is nice having a partner around.
Weekend nights have always been worthless to me. I wish it could be otherwise, but it long ago got to the point that there was no point in "going out" in the classic sense anyways.
When I was depressed, I stayed to myself a lot. I guess I was isolating....Now, I am busy and away from home a lot, even though I'm not dating right now. I play tennis, go to yoga and do other things on my own. I'll go to movies, and bookstores by myself too.

Never understood going to bookstores. Books are always cheaper at Amazon. But maybe that's just me.
I usually stay in although given the chance I would prefer to go out.
Often there is no one to go with, or I do not have enough money to be able to afford to go out loads.
Other times I will feel too depressed to go out anyway, prefering to just be at home doing my own thing.
I do get fed up of it too. Im a very attractive, naturally loud and outgoing kind of girl so I sometimes feel like the world is missing out on me when Im just stuck at home!
I stay home a lot. I have always liked staying home and never minded. I was and still to a point, shy. The only time it bothers me to stay home is when I am depressed and feel like I am all alone in a cruel world.
I am not saying that I do not enjoy going out but most activities are for couples. I do not like being the third wheel all the time. My single friends are now in relationships and now I have no one to go and hang out with.
I am attractive and great qualities that make me a great partner, but right now I end up dating losers. I am no longer wanting to waste my time on yet another looser so I am choosing not to date because I do not want another failure.
Regardless of anything my house is finally beginning to feel like a safe place and so I don't mind and look forward to coming home. Maybe cuz now my living room is for TV, eating, and being online. My room is for sleeping.
I tend to stay home a lot as well on weekend nights. It's just more relaxing. Sometimes I'll go to a movie by myself or something which is always fun. But really the only time I go out is if I have a date which isn't very often or if I go out with family/friends which is also quite rare. To me there is nothing better than staying in with a good book or good movie. I'm very shy anyway so it just suits me better.
