So something occurred to me this evening and that was just how late is too late for a night out when asked to join a friend or friends?
In my early to mid twenties it was quite common for us on some Friday or Saturday evenings to start night outs as late as midnight and in some cases even as late as 1am, with pre-drinks of course, and although admittedly when this did happen it was mostly down to a very disorganised friend whom took forever but as a group we still thought nothing of starting an evening this late.
This evening at 11:30pm I was asked to join someone in town for drinks and whilst I am certainly in the mood for it and I think I'd really enjoy it the thought of getting on a bus for 40 mins and the faff involved at this time of night has somewhat put me off, firstly am I now realising that I'm getting too old for this ****?? and secondly just how late is too late to think screw it and join friends having a drink.
I know it's more difficult as people get older and have kids etc, however I am in a long term relationship with no kids and the other half is away this weekend so should I be embracing this and getting on with a night out or is the comfort of home and time of night a valid thing?
