for this guy, if it comes down to going out somewhere (a bar, club, amusement park, etc.) or buying a new video game, he'll buy the new game. he's been like that his whole life and i want him to change that.

  1. Some people like that are simply very inexperienced in socializing and meeting new people.  I'm saying that, because until college, I stuck to my close circle of friends and usually stayed home playing video games.  I was in control of my environment, and I liked that a lot.  It sounds like he doesn't like wasting time on something he doesn't see as instant fun.    Not knocking video games; I still love them!  

      Everything changed when I just started talking to new people, started getting in shape, got a girlfriend, etc. etc.  I guarantee you'll open him up to the idea of hanging out more if he just starts making a few friends, or meeting some contacts.  Hermits are always tough to get out of the house.  I have a roommate exactly like that, but for him it's because he's from the middle-east and doesn't have great English, so he's scared about being judged in social settings.  

      Don't give up on him!  The best thing you can do as a friend is just always leave the offer on the table when you're headed out to have some fun.  As soon as he starts meeting some cool people, it'll change his perspective a lot.  

      Hope that helps!  If you have the time, take a glance at my yahoo question; I'm looking for a particular song.  Have a good one!

  2. all your friends are make believe

    its a song on my ipod.

    see? *holds up ipod*

  3. I'm sure if he wants to go somewhere he will.  Maybe he wants you to change and stay home and play games. If he doesn't go , there is nothing keeping you from going.
