How is it possible to have a good relationship without a joint social life?

Socially, my boyfriend & I are worlds apart. He loves parties, having mucho friends around & club hopping. I'm not into the m socialising & prefer movies, going out to dinner, & the occasional parties. We have tried each other's events. Other than this, everything else is fine. After 2 yrs,love him & don't worry about his affections. I expected to do couple stuff. But there is always a m of friends around. I don't mind company but not every time we go out. We have talked & argued about it. It's not an issue for him. It is 'We are out together'. End of story. I see his point. At first, I was a little put off but now when friends show up, which is always, I deflate. I feel abandoned. I hate my reaction. It's petty. I just want a mix of social scenes. Should I just be grateful we are going out & other things work? I don't want us to grow apart, but I need to pick up my social life. Yes I dropped it waiting. Hence the question. I'd love to hear your comments, esp the male view.
