A Facebook friend of mine writes a post last night, looking for ideas to get over a broken heart. I left a comment, asking what happened. Shortly after I received a message, saying that they (my friend) downloaded a “location-based social networking and online dating application.”
The reason for the download? They were looking for friends.
At the start of quarantine in March they were off for a few weeks, and their S.O. was working. They were bored.
So yes I have been bored a few times since this has all started. However I have never once thought, hey let me download a dating app to find more friends. Nope, I am not even toughing anything like that.
What are things I have done when I have been bored?
Projects around the house, I still have projects on my list. They are just not as enjoyable so they have been put off. If you have an apartment you may not have projects for the apartment it’s self (unless you own it). However you can do small projects such as clean out and sort the cabinets in your bathroom, kitchen or even your bedroom closet.
Pick up a new or an old hobby that you moved on from. I’ve been playing my bass more then ever these days.
Window shopping, not as enjoyable window shop at actual stores these days while having to wear a mask. But I do love to window shop online. I have so many things on my Amazon wish list.
Power watch a series on Netflix that you have heard about. Or a movie, my wife isn’t a fan of horror films so I will watch them when she is working or other films she has no desires to watch.
Facebook friends and communities. If you’re actually looking for friends because you want interaction, you have plenty of friends in your friend list (over 400) to start up a conversation with. I’m sure you have plenty of real family and friends you can face time with as well. Or get into a Facebook group and look through people’s post to interact with. That is something I tend to do when I’m bored and being lazy. The groups I am in are are groups for electronics (yep geek here if you haven’t figured it out), cars, and married LBGTQ+ groups (I love the looking for advice post, as I often read them to Terry wondering why they ever got married to begin with).
I could probably think of a lot more things for someone to do when they are bored and they value their relationship. But I can say this for sure…
Don’t go on a hook up apps like Grindr to look for “friends”
