I'm with the OP... the older we get (I'm only 26, but still...) the harder it is to get people to come out. But it's not something to get mad about, it just happens.

It comes down to three things: 1) Relationships, which just becomes more and more the prime factor as people get older / engaged / married, 2) Not living in the same geographical location anymore (this is completely understandable for obvious reasons, however) and 3) general apathy to just going out (ie. getting too old to go to bars populated by 18 year olds).

I found that as long as you can enjoy your own company, you're much more fine with this situation. I just learned to accept it. I'm not one those people that falls into the category that I listed above, but I have learned to really enjoy the time that you do go out with people when you can.
