Do you often go out with your friends? How often?

Many of my friends are no longer here in our city. Some of them are already in other cities. The others are already abroad. The few friends who are still residing in the same city I am in, just like me, are busy with work and business. That is why though we are just in the same place, hanging out with them is almost impossible. Perhaps, we get to see each other and go out at least once a month. Sometimes, when I go out, I get to see some acquaintances in the cafe or in the bar and so I spend a few hours or so with them. How about you? Do you often go out with your friends?

I like to go out or hang out with friends especially during weekends.It is the nice way to relax,enjoy life and have fun.We used to hang out in a friend's house to talk, have fun, watch movies or sometimes drinking session too.This is our time to catch up on the things happened in one's life.We sometimes go to a bar, resto or to the mall.But these past few days where really busy that's why we are having a hard time to find a time to go out.So we plan to have a really big get together when all the stress and works are done.

It can be difficult to spend time with friends, as we all have our own things to do, and our schedules aren't all the same. It does make it challenging to hang out, but I do the best that I can to try and see them as often as I can.

It is indeed our schedules that get in the way...

It's so hard to make time with your old friends. Most of my friends are now gone, I mean we don't have any communications nor time to have a chitchat with. Good thing that I found a friend in my previous workplace they're the one whom I hang out with. I hang out with them but there is no definite schedule.

I agree with you. It is indeed hard to find time to be with old friends. Sometimes, it's the distance and schedule that becomes a hindrance.

Hello dolce_vita78, NO i don't as i don't get time to meet them often because of my job which is very stressful and time demanding.Secondly due to family i don't get much of time to meet my friends but still on some gatherings or parties i do meet them.I always get upset that i can't meet them so often but what should i do when i don't have the time but i do talk to them often through phone/net.

I try to. But everyone has their own plans, and some are just plain antisocial. To me, I feel I'll go insane if I stay in my house all the time, but unfortunately, others don't feel that way all the time like I do. So, my answer is "as much as I can".

Oh yeah, the usual "antisocial" members of the group...

Hi! It's the same for me. I mean, most of my friends are faraway, either in another province or another city. I do have friends who live near me but they are busy with their own lives now, they have their own families and they don't have much free time to go out. In my case, I'm not that kind who goes over to a friend's house when I don't have anything to do. So I don't visit them much unless there is an important event or if they have invited me for something. It's actually ironic because I go out more with my friends who are faraway. We see each others once in a while even if we are living far from each other.

Hopefully we do have a chance to go out once a week. Granted, there are times where we are able to spend some time together hanging out a bit more, sadly sometimes a bit less. It does seem like pretty much everyone is more busy on this day than then are ever before to say the very least. There are just going to be many times where schedules tend to really clash more than we like. I think that there maybe are times where we are going to get together more, while others we are not. Perhaps it is just to get together, talk about life in general, and just share crazy stories about what has happened recently. It is just the simplest pleasures that can really make life rather something worth living. Just a nice chat is one of those pleasures for sure.

Lately, yes I have been going out with my friends. Normally to hang around with them or talk about important matters. Some few years ago when we all got busy with work, there is no time for us to meet or if we ever meet we have very little time to chat. So these days we're trying to catch up with things.

It is really hard for me to spend time with my friends, Iam usually very busy that I don't have time to go out with them and even if I have, I would rather have an outing with my family.

I hardly ever go out with my fiends. All of us are just too busy with our own jobs, however, we still communicate through FB and text messages. Some of these friends are already residing in other countries. Right now I've got so many friends that I can communicate with and most of them are in myLot.

When I worked in a nightclub every night at work was like a night out with friends! I would also do playdates with my daughter almost every other day. I recently moved to a new state and I have a one month old baby so I'm only out handling business or working.

I'm a college student,many of my old friends now are in different colleges, several guys even study abroad now. And all of we are really busy studying our own majors. So it is not easy to meet them during school time. So I alway go out with my friends in summer and winter holidays.However, different colleges have different school calenders,it's hard to decide a proper time for going out together.

Other than our neighbors, I usually only get to see my friends for a very few minutes before or after church services. Maybe, there will be a phone call between, but those calls are rare. My husband is not a member of the church, so he resents it when I hang around after services to talk with my friends. We do not go out.

I try to hang out as much as i can with my friends and my boyfriend. I think the good thing is that most of our friends are mutual so it is easy to spend time together as well as with oure close friends. We try to go out every saturday to meet up with those that dont usually show up in the city everyday.

It's a complicated question here to answer and I would like to say that once a month I usually go out with my friends for gathering and to make some programs with friends. It is a need for everyone's life to be connected with friends too.

Spending time with some friends is really a healthy lifestyle especially if you have some good friends, with a good attitude and something like a good activities. And love to see and spend time with them so often for in that way our relationship as friends will be more stronger.
