A Question For Single Women Only

sunkisses

Do you go out by yourself? (dinner, movies, bars, shopping, coffee, concerts, etc.)
Are there some places you're willing to go alone to but not others?
If you're ok with sharing your age or age range, go for it.

..............sorry, that was really 2 questions.

Do you go out alone?

speakz82

Although, legally I'm not single (yet), I do. When my ex has the kids I'll do shopping, and coffee alone but concerts, movies, dinner...always with a friend or group of friends. I'm still kind of naive when it comes to men/dating in general and I don't want to go making mistakes and since most of my friends are people who refuse to get married it tends to help me since it's a whole new world for me out there.

Yes, I go out by myself, dinner, movies, shopping, coffee, beach, shows. I haven't been to a bar myself and don't see that happening as I am not really a big drinker. I wouldn't go anywhere that I wouldn't feel safe by myself.

Sometimes it's because I couldn't find any one to go out with me, others because I just really want to be myself.

I have been to other countries by myself.

I'm 22 and single. There are some places that I will go by myself and not others. I will shop, grab coffee, and see a movie by myself but I always have friends go with me to dinner or a concert. I would prefer to have someone go to a movie with me, but if I really want to see a movie and no one will go with me I don't mind seeing it by myself.

moniquelessard

I go to the movies alone, restaurants alone and cafes alone. BUT, I am a former flight attendant, and as a flight attendant, this is something you do often. So, I've had years of practice. Also, I was unhappily married, and I really enjoy 'me' time now. It's much more pleasant that 'unhappy marriage' time.

Alls I know is sometimes I get tired of waiting for other people. So I will do things like a museum, a movie, eating lunch out and some festivals on my own. You can move at your own pace and you don't have to consider what someone else wants to do.
It can be a good thing.

I go to places alone like the gym, church, shopping, walking or riding my bike on the trail. But not dinner, movies, concerts, etc.

I'll go shopping, gym, small vacations, by myself ... I have ate alone in public but not my favorite thing, and I'd rather pick it up and take it home.

Apryl546

All the time.
I don't have friends that live anywhere near me so I do things by myself 99% of the time..

MIMITIME

Just curious - why do you ask?

bmqbonnie

Yep, done it all except movies and that's just because I'd just as soon wait to watch it from the comfort of my own home. But dinner, vacations, etc yes.

allyjstone

I do go out by myself-movies,bars, and sometimes out to eat-I usually go to my local bar though where I'll know someone either way but I do almost everything by myself.

I_give_it_2_u_str8

If I was single I would. I prefer the company of myself over most other ppl.

brattyworm

so i'm going to jump in on this. No i'm not single, but I am geographically single. So that just means I'm not looking for someone, but I dont have my partner to go out with me.

So do you ever feel that others judge you when you go out alone? thats what keeps me from going places by myself. all my friends are married (since you know married couples gravitate to other married folks) or are single males and that just brings on a whole other set of feeling like i'm being judged.

If anyone ever judged me for going out alone, that's their problem, not mine. I couldn't care less what anyone thought. If I want to see a movie none of my friends or family wants to see, I am not going to let what some stranger thinks of me being alone, stop me from going to see it.

Qarol

I used to. I'd head into NYC from Stamford, CT, to museums or Carnegie Hall. I didn't know anyone when I moved there, and I didn't want my lack of having someone to do things with actually stop me from doing things.

i'll go to a movie alone...shopping, coffee...dinner i'll pick up and take home...if i had the time off i'd go on vacation alone too.
i wouldn't do concerts or restaurants alone...
usually only because i want to go "right now" and can't be bothered waiting for other people.

That's awesome, and that's the attitude I need to have! Good for you!

Do you go out alone?

Yup. I go alone to all of the aforementioned. I've done the weekend getaway thing alone as well. I have done the bar alone, but I won't get drunk or stay long enough to have a roofie slipped in my drink. I'm in my early 30s. The older I get, the more place I'm willing to go by myself.

My favorite alone-time thing is to smuggle snacks and a flask into the theater and watch a chick-flick drunk. It's the only way these films go down easily.

BioQueen

I go out on my own all the time! I really like being by myself sometimes. I am a very punctual person, and I LOVE being on my own schedule. I also can do what I want, when I want.

wickedcricket

yes, single and live alone. If I didn't do things alone, I'd never leave the house. Things I won't do alone? No. some things are more fun with a friend or a group but I've even gone camping alone if nobody else can or will go.

This is how I feel about it as well. I don't think I ever noticed if I was feeling judged in the past. I definitely don't now. People talk to me a lot, and I end up picking up "friends" all the time.

When I was single, I did all kinds of things alone! I loved it! Throw on my headphones and just do whatever. One summer I had a season pass to the amusement park, and I'd go ride a few rides every afternoon. That was probably my favorite thing to do alone ever. Even though I'm engaged now, I still do things alone. I like to go to dinner alone some times (although I rarely go out at dinner any more), I prefer to shop alone, some times when the boyfriend is OOT for work I'll go to the park and just sit in the grass alone. (We have an awesome back yard, but sometimes I even need time away from the dogs!)

Things I wouldn't do alone ... hmmm.. I probably wouldn't go to a dinner-date type place alone. Like Melting Pot or other romantic-y spots... that's stuff you just need a partner for.

FelizMi

36 and technically single. I'm seeing someone and would like it to go further, but I don't know if he does, even though we get along perfectly. But we started seeing each other and agreed we weren't going to be in a relationship, (stupid, I know but I'm recently divorced and dating scares me because people are such liars, lol) but I don't think either of us expected that we would get along so well nor have so much in common. We are from different sides of the planet so to speak. But, what we have has worked for 9 months and we are exclusive, so I said if it ain't broke don't fix it.

But anyway, no, other than grocery shopping or to work out, I don't really go anywhere by myself. But, at the same time I don't really go anywhere anyway but grocery shopping, working out, work, and stuff for the kids, or visit family.

I'm not a club/party person, I don't drink, don't smoke. I don't really have female friends, never been the "bonding" type. A bit of a loner, lol. Aside from my kids, I could do without human contact for days, probably weeks or months, just give me some music and I'm good!

I DO want to get into salsa dancing, but I don't have anyone to go with me and I'm definitely not going alone! So, anyone in the Indy area, let me know!

I know that was more info that asked for lol, but :ohwell:

ladycomix

I've gone everywhere alone! From traveling for work to hopping in the car and driving across the country...I just having adventures and I'm not willing to wait for a someone who may never appear to have a good time~

I always figured the CCR song was right- someday never comes. Might as well have a great time in the now!

christine24t

I'm 21. I have gone to the movies by myself before, and to dinner alone. I love people, but I will also not wait for people to join me on activities. If there is a movie I want to see and I have free time, I will go see it by myself. Doesn't bother me one bit. However, I wouldn't go to the bar by myself, because when I go I like to dance with my friends and hang out with them, not strangers.

foremant86

I go shopping alone but that's it, the rest is just too depressing.
