9Lives Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Sometimes guys I just put myself a in a box and I hate it. Somes times I just dont know what do with my time. It sounds really stupid but its real. Some times I dont want to get out cause I dont have anything to wear. I like to look nice when I go out. I just feel like Im hurting myself. Like today, it is beautiful outside! Im just sitting in the house cause i dont have anything to do. Please tell me what you do when you dont have anything to do. I really appreciate it. thanks
Mavisse Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Sometimes I like to walk to a coffee shop and read the paper or a book there...it's really, really good to get out! Smile at people, too.
paleblue Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 i'll walk around in circles around my house, or take my motorcycle out for a ride, or just do whatever, throw rocks, watch movies, tinker around with something. maybe call a friend and see what they are up too, read threads on lovehack all afternoon. done that plenty of times. doing it today actually, lol.
denise_xo Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Please tell me what you do when you dont have anything to do. - like Mavisse, bring a book or newspaper to a coffee shop - go for a long walk in the forest - call some friends and suggest to play backgammon/ watch a move/ go have a coffee/ have lunch - do yoga - go to the gym - do something I should have done at home ages ago but never got around to - watch a good movie on my own - catch up on sleep - just go for a walk around town - go to a museum or exhibition - read news on the internet - meditate - bum around on LS
SmileFace Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I go window shopping... but inside stores .Pick up a bunch of crap - then just put them back. Or go to the grocery store and look at different products and imagine new recipes. When I was in the city - I spent all my time that I didn't know what to do with walking. I explored tons of neighborhoods. I spend 3 hours plus at the gym when I had nothing to do.
simpsonic Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Today I did a Sudoku puzzle, bummed around on the Internet, and hung out at my back patio to soak in the sunshine!
zengirl Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 If I have nothing to do on a beautiful day, what would I do? Well, it varies, but what comes to mind is: Ride my bike to the park, then settle in somewhere nice on a blanket and read a book. I'd bring a small snack, too, and some iced tea or something (wine if I were still abroad, but against the law in a park here) in case I was out for awhile. That's actually what the BF and I did today, on a beautiful day, though it got cool so we only stayed out for a bit, then went in for some brunch. Basically. . . I'd do a lot of the same things I do when I'm dating. Plenty of them are fun alone too.
depplover_1980 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Knock on a door and run away. I am aware I'm a grown up now but it still makes me smile and takes me back to my childhood when I do this, but don't get caught!! Apart from that go for walks, go round a friends for a warm drink and a giggle.
makelemonade1974 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 It's important to find things you love to do alone. Here are my faves: Internet shopping without actually buying anything - this is usually connected to plans I have for redecorating the house - art prints, furniture, bed linens - you can buy it later when you have money or some such thing. Yoga will change your life. I'm serious. Read - if you are not a reader, check out one of those local bookstores. Go for a run In the summer - gardening, plant flowers in little pots, etc etc. Rock climbing - find a rock climbing gym in your area and just go. It's a great way to meet men and not that difficult to learn. Take yourself and a good book out to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Organize a group of friends to go out for dinner/drinks at your favorite restaurant. Go hiking Plan a trip to go hiking / backpacking somewhere cool. Plan another trip to somewhere cool, like Africa, Italy or Brazil. Search a dating website for cute guys and wink at them. Paint your house / apartment The list goes on - but you seriously need to find things to do alone that make you happy. You'll never be ready for a relationship until you can be comfortable with yourself.
Cee Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I struggle with leaving the house of weekends. I get into a depressive cycle and surf the internet all day. What works best for me is making plans with friends. That gets me out on the weekend. There are times I go to the grocery store to do a little shopping. I used to live near a 24 hour grocery store and I'd go at 2 am for a little bit of human interaction. This weekend I had plans on Friday and Sunday. And I had a blast. But, I had nothing to do on Saturday and it totally sucked. So I went to my favorite go to place, the grocery store. Maybe I'm weird, but I like people watching there.
