Well I think the fact of the matter is if you want to get rid of Facebook and / or social media while maintaining a social like you MUST become hyper competent at managing your social life. I moved across the country and had to rebuild my social network from scratch without social media, you can do this through sites like meetup or checking local event calender's. Once you meet some folks who you want to know better you can exchange numbers and quickly set up a coffee, tea, lunch, dinner thing and then get into the habit on checking up with them to see what they are doing. Once I established this relationship with people they began to invite me to things every once in a while, do this with 3-5 well connected friends and you should have options every weekend. People are outsourcing the management of their social life through Facebook, if you want to stop using Facebook you really need to take back control of managing your social network.
