So i feel i shouldnt go out drinking and getting drunk and going clubbing. I am 25 but i feel to old or maybe because my boyfriend is 31 and really i think we should be doing other things in life. What is your choice on this? I see my freinds still having fun but i think its because there not the one in a relationship.

Why should you think of yourself and your boyfriend as too old already to be clubbing and drinking. Those things are not only for the younger generations. They could be enjoyed by anybody at any age. Provided, that you know your limit in drinking.

I honestly don't think that anyone is too "old" to go clubbing or out. I have personally never been, because I have children & before I had children, I wasn't old enough to drink legally, but I would like to at least go once. When my husband and I go out, we do family friendly things that we can take our children to with us.

i think in amny cases depending from clubs...so in reality in the majority of cases you can feel a bit older in some clubs where people are almost all teenagers and so yes it wouldn't be a place for a couple in a relationship!!

You're not too old. It's just that you're in a relationship. Most people that can't go to night clubs are those that are trying to maintain a relationship. If you wanna maintain yours then just focus on that. Besides, night clubs are for single people. Other guys will hit on you there because they'll assume that you are and it might turn into a relationship problem.

It does seem to appear as if the person is single they do tend to out and party more so then the coupled person. However there are some couple who still go out religiously, that I know of, and party. But certainly these are planned occasions and not as much as the single one. As with some single one also perhaps simply do not like the club scene. I do not feel you are too old to party as many clubs by me you have to be a minimum of 25 to be able to enter the club. It could simply be that you and your boyfriend simply have other interests then perhaps the party goers. I use party it up each and every weekend and although I truly enjoy it, I find that since I have been living with my boyfriend now for five years that we have so many obligations that a movie night appeals more so every now and then. We do go out from time to time and I know he would prefer not to, he does because he is so passive with me and always agrees, but we certainly do not close the club like I use to when when I was single. LOL

If you love each other deeply, you would better get married. and you can go out for party and clubbing together when you are free.

You're pretty young to have such a mature attitude, but don't grow too old too quickly. There is nothing wrong with going out clubbing with your friends, and doing other fun things besides. All it amounts to is not doing it in extreme. No one says you have to go to a club and get drunk, that's a choice the person makes. But you can go, have a drink or two, and enjoy yourself with dancing and chatting with friends. Does your boyfriend drink too much? And, is that the reason you don't want to go? Maybe just do the clubbing once a month and do other things the rest of the time. Just remember to have fun, you're only 25 once, so enjoy it.

I think it mostly depends on how you feel and what you're interested in. When I was 18 my clubbing buddy was a 27 year old. She had kids and a boyfriend, but the boyfriend didn't go with her. She's almost 40 now and she still goes clubbing. I stopped clubbing shortly after turning 21. I guess I just got it all out of my system. A few months ago a 20 year old friend of mine was begging me to go clubbing with her. She didn't understand when I kept saying I was too old for it. She said "You're never too old". Yeah, well, I don't want 18 year old guys hitting on me.. so yeah, I'm too old! I'd rather stay home with my husband and kids!

hello lologirl! i think it really depends on your likes and interest in life. I am 37, have a boyfriend and kids and we still go clubbing and drinking on occasions. I don't go clubbing though without the boyfriend or some might misinterpret. You can never be too old to do this since we still can see people aged 60 go clubbing, dancing and drinking and having the times of their life. You can't judge them though if that's what makes them happy then so be it.
