What to do when all your friends are in a relationship (and you’re not)

28 January 2026 | Tablo App

There’s a very specific moment when you realise it. It doesn’t happen all at once, but gradually. Group chats fill up with couple dinners, plans made weeks in advance and evenings that end earlier and earlier. That’s when a familiar feeling appears: all your friends are in relationships, and you’re not.

When social dynamics change and you stay still

When friends enter relationships, social life changes shape. It doesn’t disappear, but it becomes more structured, more predictable and less spontaneous. Singles often adapt at first, but over time can feel like permanent guests in someone else’s life.

The issue isn’t being single. The issue is not having alternatives.

It’s not your fault (or theirs)

This phase has nothing to do with doing something wrong or falling behind. Lives simply move at different speeds. Many people aren’t desperately looking for a romantic relationship; they’re looking for spaces where they don’t feel like the only one on their own.

Tablo as an alternative to the usual dynamics

This is where Tablo comes in. Tablo was created to offer a kind of social experience that doesn’t revolve around couples or closed groups. Shared dinners bring people together on equal footing, without roles or labels.

At a Tablo dinner, you’re not “the single one”. You’re just a person going out to dinner with other people.

Meeting new people without feeling out of place

Tablo works because it doesn’t require you to fit into existing dynamics. It creates temporary, low-pressure groups where social interaction happens naturally. The focus is the dinner, not relationship status.

When social life stops revolving around couples

Shared dinners help rebalance your social life. Not to replace old friends, but to add new connections and new energy.

Enjoying going out again, without forcing yourself to adapt

Being single while everyone else is in a relationship shouldn’t mean standing still. Tablo offers a real alternative built on simple encounters, genuine conversations and shared experiences.

Sometimes, everything starts again around a table.
