I spent so many years partying and drinking that staying home on the weekends doesn't bother me. I also have a husband and 2 active kids that keep me busy on the weekends so I don't have a lot of alone time. What about hanging out at a coffehouse or bookstore to try to meet people? There is a Stabucks in the shopping center by my house that is always packed on the weekend evenings with people of all ages. What about trying an online dating site to try to meet people? I have been very fortunate that my friends aren't heavy drinkers. I was the obnoxiuos drunk person at all the get togethers, so I gave up very few friends. Good luck.
