Missing my bf, but...
My boyfriend is at a conference in chicago this weekend, and I was bored last night when I realized something.

I used to go out by myself, I can do it now!

So, I went to plush and saw a few decent bands. It was a cheap show, but pretty fun. (So were the drinks.) But I realized that I really don't have many friends left that I could call up and say, "let's go out!"

Most of them have their own partners (boyfriends and girlfriends) or have moved out of the city. It's more that I haven't replaced the hang-out friends I have. Those who are still here aren't the type to go out mostly, either due to money or temperament.

Most of my acquantances, now, are my boyfriends' friends, and none are the type that I'd really call up myself and look to go out with. (Well, one might end up that way!) I'm wondering if this is just a function of being a couple (and him being the one who has more social opportunities), if this is a function of me not being a social type in general (I keep my friends for quite a while, really.) - or is it me just not asserting my individuality and leaning on my boyfriend as a social crutch?
