I (F24) don’t know why I bother socializing anymore. Every time I go out it’s a negative experience. On Friday night one of my friends invited me out to the bar with her which I said yes to. A couple of guys did talk to us and bought us drinks for about an hour or so but for some reason after a while my friend excused us to go to the bathroom then when we came back she took us to a different section of the bar.

Where we were at now two different guys approached her within a span of like five minutes and there I was back to getting no attention per usual. Which is why I was debating even going out in the first place. I don’t like going out to bars/clubs because I don’t see the point of it if I’m not gonna be getting male attention. I feel like that’s the reason other girls go out to those locations too but for them it’s like a guarantee they’ll find someone so it’s always a good experience for them when they go out.

So anyway I was kinda sulky for the rest of the night even though I wasn’t trying to be and my friend caught on and I just told her I wasn’t feeling good so she just ordered us an Uber home. Yesterday I had plans to go see the new Minions movie with one of my best friends. So she’s married and she’s been with her husband since they were like 14/15. Initially I thought it was just gonna be us and them at the movies which it’s whatever, I didn’t feel upset about it or anything. I can handle third wheeling.

But once we get there we park next to her little sisters car and her sister had brought her boyfriend. They’d neglected to tell me they’d invited them too so now I was 5th wheeling so that was annoying. We went to go see the movie like in the middle of the day so we still had time to spare afterwards. My friends sister and her bf left after the movies but the three of us headed back to their house.

I thought it was gonna be a chill night in and we were just gonna have a few drinks there but not even having been at their house for 30 minutes my friends older sister calls her and asks her if we want to go bar hopping with them. My friend says yes so we head to the bar where I’m yet again 5th wheeling 🫠 Then this other couple gets to the bar, it’s my friends cousin and his girlfriend. So now I am 7th wheeling.

For most of the time I was there it felt like the couples were just talking to each other/kissing and I stuck out like a sore thumb. I made up an excuse and asked my friend if they could drop me off at my car because I’d left it at their house and I was feeling sick. When we were leaving to another bar they did and that was that. I just felt bad like after a certain age there’s just no socializing with friends in relationships. But it’s like I get fucked if I go out with friends in relationships because then I look stupid and lonely but if I go out with my single girl friends there’s also no winning because I literally get no attention ever. Anyway rant over, if you got this far, thanks.
