I've wondered the same thing myself......I don't have much of a social life and find myself wishing that I had. I'd like to get together with a couple friends and cook dinner together and just hang out, watch a movie. I've never been the social butterfly but a few friends I could hang out with from time to time would be nice.

I think Ds is socializing too btw!! It's a healthy outlet, makes ya feel not so alone and that's a good thing! :-)

I'm 41 now and feel so old.... whilst DS has been a life saver for me.. and a wonderful outlet with fantastic friends... I feel my social life is over (haven't had one for years).. but I know thats me being negative.... I'm in a new area and don't know anyone.. hoping that by going to a zumba class and a AA meeting that I will meet people... I got on really well with 2 women when I was in hospital and I have their numbers and said I would call... and ofc I haven't as I haven't been feeling too great.. and the longer I leave it it will be harder to do I know

I just want to be that social butterfly again

All my close friends are internet friends. I wish we were all closer so I could say Hey let's go have coffee.
I met all of my friends because of Pearl Jam, so when the band tours, I get to hang out with my friends.
I talk to most of them every week by phone, text or email. A feew have slept at my house. SLUMBER PARTY! :D

But yeah a lot of the time I feel like I have no social life. I am pretty shy and introverted, but with my PJ buds I am comfortable.

I thought I was the only one with no social life. This site is literally my social life. It's hard not having anyone to meet up with anymore.
But without DS things would be a whole lot worse.
