I'm not one of these people that can get wasted on the weekends, sleep with God knows who, and brag about my fantastic time at work on Monday. I have a small circle of friends (more like a half-circle) and my closest ones don't even live in my town--I see them a few times a year and we talk on the phone now and then. I am terribly lonely and I fell like I should be doing something fun on Saturday night (at least on Sunday night there are tv programs to watch). Typcially I sleep in, go shopping with my mom (I'm 25 and still live at home), come home and feel sorry for myself the rest of the evening because I have no where to go and no one to hang out with.

The friends that I have (the ones that don't live near me) spend time with their boyfriends/spouses on the weekends. I pretty much have no luck in that department (we won't even get into that).

You are not alone in being lonely.
Most people are lonely at some time in their life.
Why not try internet dating? I've met some nice men there. And not all men are looking for sex right away. Give yourself a chance by putting yourself out there a little.
There is no reason to move out and start the huge burden of financial responsibility if you are comfortable at home. You will have all the rest of your life to pay your own bills and take care of yourself.
At least you aren't married and divorced with a couple of kidos to support. Be grateful for who and what you are. There are many worse things than your situation.
The right man will come along. but it doesn't hurt to get out there and look a little.

Join YMCA, they have wonderful programs which help the community and people there are very friendly and non judgemental.
By the way, I do not see any mistake shopping with your mom and living with her. Do not feel sorry for yourself, you are lucky that you can live with her. I envy you.
Do not compare yourself with others, that is a trigger for self pity. You are absolutely fine. Try to get a hobby, get a pet, take a class in something that you are interested in doing like dancing or something..
Good luck dear...

a good idea might be to join a group of sorts.. many churches have adult groups that meet at loal restaurants and eat and be social... many baptist churches have adult sunday school classes that hang out on weekends.. I was in one and made some great friends.. even met a woman and we dated for a while...I suppose that you have a good job where you can afford to eat out a few times on a weekend.. some people even meet their husbands or wives in such a group

So.......
The first thing......you need to move out of your parents house. 25? Geez, no wonder. Get out. Then go out and meet people. People are not going to come to you....if you're lonely, you have to go to them.
