I'm an only child. Twice divorced. If I waited for someone to go with me to everything I wanted to do, I'd miss a lot of great things. I went to 3 concerts this past summer that were out of this world. I bought tickets and went by myself. :) I'm not a loser, I'm just fiercely independent.Lori L.

I didn't eat in the break room. I don't think many people there noticed me, lol, they were too busy going on about the fun they were having.<br /><br />I've never been to a movie alone, not sure I could do it either. I like having company. I'm from a big family so if I do something alone its really... odd. lol. I don't know what to do with myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-56383239217172844562010-09-10T18:05:06.655-07:002010-09-10T18:05:06.655-07:00I love seeing movies alone!

I was nervous at first, but everything was fine.<br /><br />I was a lot happier once I stopped waiting on everybody else.<br /><br />Same goes for restaurants. I wanted to go sit somewhere and have a nice meal, my friends were always too busy, or didn't want to go where I wanted to go--so I take a book and have a nice meal all by myself.<br /><br />I lived out east for a while, and my friends had grown up around all the touristy stuff--I didn't know when I'd have the chance to be there again, so I had to take advantage of the time I had--All by myself I went to the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. I went dancing in the Poconos, and in New York. I went to the ocean. And I went to Punxatawny for Ground Hog's Day.<br /><br />These are some of the best memories I have--I would have loved to have shared them, but I wouldn't give them up for the world. I'm glad I didn't sit around and wait!!!!nymfauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573887455015014792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-64655718274260054022010-09-10T14:13:30.044-07:002010-09-10T14:13:30.044-07:00I love going to see the afternoon matinee's by...I love going to see the afternoon matinee's by myself because there's not a lot of people that go to watch movies at that time and you can always get good seats and stretch out.Jenny N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12175597395445772605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-11331531642660737232010-09-10T12:32:57.186-07:002010-09-10T12:32:57.186-07:00I don't go to the movies or out to eat by myse...I don't go to the movies or out to eat by myself.

More when I was married, than single, btw. <br /><br />One year I saw three Oscar contenders alone. As Chicago's credits rolled, I turned to say something and no one was there by my side. But, another woman on her own said, "hey, wasn't that great?" on the way out, and we chatted a bit. I wasn't the only one there solo and it was totally fine. <br /><br />Very cool post, Steph. ;)Heather Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010941540615940287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-90284064299161183612010-09-10T11:15:13.090-07:002010-09-10T11:15:13.090-07:00I can and I learned how to do it with my last boyf...I can and I learned how to do it with my last boyfriend.

However, once I get there, I kind of regret bringing other people (unless it's scary, then I like knowing someone else I know is suffering, too lol). Either someones talking or unhappy with where they're sitting or they have to go to the bathroom, get popcorn, etc. (Kind of immature stuff, I know, but it happens.) So, I guess I could go see a movie by myself if I had to. I've never been put in that type of situation yet (at least that I can remember), but if I were, I might just say, 'I'll wait until it comes out on DVD, then I'll just rent it (plus, that way is cheaper). As for the restaurant thing, I am going to spin that around and make it the school cafeteria, which is pretty similar. I can eat by myself, though I do feel awkward when everyone else is talking and sitting with their friends. I just started a new school, and I hardly know anyone, yet everyone seems to have someone to talk to. So, I have kind of gotten used to not really sitting with a group of friends. However, I do hope to find someone to sit and talk with, or even just sit with so that I don't feel alone. But, as for now, I am fine with sitting alone because I am there to eat my food, wait for the bell, then go back to class. That's it.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145481239329012631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-44382055190385117952010-09-10T07:05:51.862-07:002010-09-10T07:05:51.862-07:00When I go watch movies, I'm usually invited. H...When I go watch movies, I'm usually invited. However, sometimes I eat alone. I don't really care what other people say. I'm there to eat, to satiate my hunger. Not to show off that I'm with someone. So yes, I can eat alone in a restaurant without worrying what other people might think or say.Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010073497121681701noreply@blogger.com
