FabSwingers.com forum: Last singleton in peer group

As a singleton do you avoid gatherings where your friend’s partners are also present?

I’m turning down more and more invites these days now I’m single as I feel silly turning up to social events on my lonesome.

If you’re single do you brave it or make excuses?

I go. I enjoy myself

Being single doesn't exclude me, in the Midlands some events even struggle to get enough decent single men, especially the peer stuffs

I’d say that evolves. I was the first of my friends to get divorced at 36, now we are all mid 40s to early 50s most of them are single too, or forever dating someone new.

I just go on my own anyway.

Couldn't give a tiny shiny shite if I'm the only single, as long as I'm not being set up with a random fella.

I've never taken a partner to a family do in my life, my friends tend to realise my love life is somewhat unconventional and my work colleagues can either like it or lump it.

I suspected as much in that it goes in waves.

I’m 31 and am finding my friends are marrying their long-term girlfriends now but one or two have split up bringing them back into the fold socially too.

I’m just finding it tough being the only one or one of a couple who aren’t with someone when socialising with friends increasingly requires the presence of their other halves.

In the middle

I just go on my own, even in the early days of separation/divorce I went to parties where my friends were, even where my ex and his then new wife were, just stick your chin out, chat and dance like nothing has ever changed

I just go on my own! a lot of my friends are on their 2nd marriages I've not even had my first

Do find wedding receptions a tad tedious though, firstly the 101 questions, then the trying to set me up...

Go on holiday on my own of to see a concert later this month on my own and even go to the cinema on my own...

Yesterday was fun, went to supermarket full of cold, coughing and sneezing while gathering supplies... Had no one to go for me so had to get of my death bed and scared everyone

on the road to nowhere in particular

I was the last singleton at one time, it was tough, all the other guys used me as their alibi and their partners hated me

Personally, I wouldn't let that stop me from going. If I didn't do things on my own and get out of the house, I'd become a hermit! Heck, even when I was married, I went on my to social events as I like a laugh and a dance if that's in the cards. The ex would just sit with a growly looking face and no one would come near us!

. Changed days!

Guess I just have to get over my own embarrassment of being perpetually single.

Easier said than done but entirely possible all the same.
