    what are some things to do in the sun on your own? Im 27 and dont have friends lol I have one but ever since shes had a boyfriend she is always with him. I dont really like drinking its a bit odd going to the pub on my own anyway. I dont want to waste the day sat in the house when the weather is hot, what things are there to do if you are on your own?

    Put on your sun lotion and a big floppy hat, grab a book, sit on the green green grass !!! =)

    Preferably in a public park so you can have a good peak at all the topless guys

    As the person above me has said go read a book on the grass, go for a walk, go for a cycle, go for a run, go sun bathe, etc.

    I'm more concerned that you have no friends, that's a shame =(. What's this reason for this (if you don't mind me asking?)?

    I dont know, ive never really had any, ive had the same friend for over 12 years the one who has a boyfriend, ive never had a boyfriend either. I go to sports clubs and get along with everyone i know but im very quiet cause i cant be bothered talking most of the time, they are more aquantainces not friends. Ive just always been myself.

    Well there's nothing wrong with living your life the way that you do, but I fear you're putting all your eggs in one basket - what if your friend gets married and has minimal time for you? I guess we're just different in that I think you should try get more friends but if you're happy then who am I to comment? Did you find something to do with the sun =)?

    Put a limb out, and go down to the pub, you might meet some nice people down there

    I know plenty of people who come down my local pub on there own, especially on a sunny day it doesn't look/seem odd at all!
    Find a nice pub with a garden, take a book or just go down and chit chat at the bar!

    I know what you mean - my friends who are left around here probably won't be doing anything this weekend (they're sets of couples which sucks!) so I was starting to wonder the same thing!
    Isn't going to the pub alone a bit awkward?

    join a gym, you get to meet tonnes of people, go to the park- morning jogs, go shopping etc etc, just do what you feel like doing without a care in the world.

    Nothing wrong with going to places like pubs on your own.... it's nice to be independent!!

    You never know you could meet someone there

    Like Jabberwox said, take nice walks down to your local shops

    I know how you feel though, I often feel the same...

    If I were healthy I'd go exploring my town/city on a nice day like today, listening to music as I go, maybe loaf about in one of the parks for a while, with a book/ball, perhaps chirps to some randoms..

    I'm not a piece of meat you know

    Well to become friends with them youd need to have some common interests erm, do some volunteer work, you can make tonnes of friends at work, I did

    Not actually read this, but heard a lot of good things about it, you may have heard of it as well:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...ce-full-site=1

    Title seems lame, but might be worth having a read through, see if there are some good pointers to think about, some things to reflect on. This is not to imply that there's something wrong with you, but knowledge is power and all that, may give you some interesting insights. Not to patronise by the title, being comfortable with yourself is the must important thing, but it's worth expanding your horizons. Especially as for some reason I get the impression that you're an analytical person. Most important thing is to be content and happy within yourself, but relationships are important to build I think, this could help with the ones you already have, at whatever level, with those at the sports club, etc.

    I've had the same problem, girls getting a boyfriend and suddenly it's hard for me to just go round and hang out in her bedroom. I rarely see my friends either, maybe once every 3 months.

    turn aquaintacies into friends - if you get along well ask them if they fancy going to the pub/exchange numbers
    a walk in the sun is always nice, shopping is fun, or just generally lounging around with a book.
    go to the beach if there is one near by, or to the pool.
