I'm in a city and don't have too many friends. I'm pretty annoyed nobody invited me to anything even when I told everyone who asked that I wasn't doing anything for the 4th. I asked one of my friends if I could hang out at her place but it didn't sound concrete. I'm actually not sure what she's doing. I have another friend who told me he didn't have plans but he had a friend coming to town so now they'll hang out. I thought of asking if I could tag along but I might feel like the third wheel. I wouldn't even know how to ask. What if if he just wants to catch up with his friend? No meetups tomorrow either. I'm guessing most places will be closed. Eh, maybe I'll just go to a movie. That's what I did for Thanksgiving.

Nope & nope.
Can you not just entertain yourself? People are not required to plan your social life for you.
It's not always like that. We include the single people here at our complex, in everything we all do. They are just as welcome.
I am hoping some gringos here will have fireworks tomorrow, on the beach. Obviously its no holiday here.
OP, it was the same for me when I was single. I just went to movies alone, or some other distraction. Holidays are the WORST. I feel for you. I hate holidays and all the attendant expectations....

I will be completely alone tomorrow. I have not received any holiday invites in years. My family travels for the holidays but because of sharing visitation with my ex, I have to stay in town during holidays. It sucks.
Man...jaded much? Maybe it's just the people you know that behave that way...
Also, if you're never invited anywhere it's time to check thyself.
Yeah, I'm the only person in the world who notices people aren't as good at being friends as they were thirty years ago. Yup, it's just me.
I'm trying to help the OP out. It's best to keep your expectations low and understand that single people just aren't going to be invited around for special events. Certainly not like couples are.
I had some 'friends' in the last city I lived that only invited me over when they needed my help. But parties, dinners, etc? That was couples only.
I dumped them rather than be used by them. You've got to know where to draw the line.

Did you invite anyone to do anything? Why is it up to everyone else to plan the day's events? Its not too late, why not look up some local firework displays and call/text some friends to see if anyone wants to go.

Just because you are single, doesnt mean you cant plan a get together. Why should couples be the ones always doing the inviting?
