By myself... At a bar. How sad yet cool am I??

This is when I miss having a SO but also when I feel empowered that I'm okay by myself and I don't need anybody to complete me. I actually like going to the movies, concerts and certain other activities by myself. Not too shabby.

    I feel the same way. I love spending time by myself. Usually when I go shopping or out to lunch or dinner, it's by myself or we with my mom or sister. I actually get really anxious if I don't have time to myself.

    A lot of people think it's pathetic, but I think it shows you are secure with yourself and that you find yourself interesting.

    I go out by myself all the time. Movies, shopping, whatever. It's never bothered me either.

    I do most of my daily activities by myself...but I've never gone to a bar solo without plans to meet up with friends. Kudos!

    I love going to movies alone actually..I find it funny that more people don't and that its considered a good date activity. I want to go and watch the movie..not have some guy trying to talk to me or feel me up during it...well if we've been seeing each other for awhile..lol sure.
    I go out alone all the time, not to bars...I would feel weird doing that..but eat out, movies, walks ect. its not a big deal. I know myself and enjoy my own company. Would it be fun with a date? Of course..but I'm not going to mope around home alone just because Mr Right or even Wrong doesn't want to hang out with me.

    I went to the bar by myself on Saturday to watch the football game. Big mistake. I was really just there for the TV but the guy next to me would not stop talking about I don't even know what. Is it bad that when I go to the bar I'd actually prefer that people NOT talk to me?

    I am the same way. Leave me alone, stranger danger.

    Unless he's buying me drinks. Or hot. Or BOTH!

    I'm not comfortable with random people talking to me in public, hot or not... which is probably why I'll stay single :laugh:

    On the other hand, roadie, when your team loses, I'd be too p*ssed to talk to strangers anyway :wink:

    I dunno if a hot guy talking to me would make me comfortable, but I'd definitely suck it up and roll with it.

    Don't start with me woman! I asked if he liked college football and he started going on about how he never went to college (ok, thanks for the info but not what I asked). It would have been nice to have someone to complain to about the other team cheating though ;)

    I can imagine that was hard to listen to while you were coming up with reasons why your offense took the day off, but hey, if that tired old excuse makes you feel better, at least you have that for the rest of the season :wink:

    Kit, I honestly think I just have issues and a hot guy coming up would make me wonder if he's scamming me to buy HIM a beer, haha...Just let me drink my Oktoberfest in PEACE!

    He can try and scam me all he wants, that doesn't mean I'm going to give in or stop enjoying the view ;)

    (To be clear before people start *****ing about double standards, If I approached HIM I would offer to buy a drink. I'm also not gonna get a stick up my butt when he realizes I'm not falling for it and moves on.)

    I assume at this point I've been drinking and that pretty much solves almost all my anxiety.

    I've never gone to a bar by myself but I'm starting to wonder if I should try it out. I was at a restaurant/bar yesterday during game time and there were several hot men by themselves drinking beer. Hmmmmmm....

    You rock Diana! :drinker:

    I got 2 free drinks out of it.. But I wasn't interested. I also saw an old buddy (my 1st love's younger brother) so we played catch up.

    There was this HOT guy there that came in late. How I wish I had the guts to tell him "come home with me.. No names exchanged". Lol Would make life easier... Or so it seems.

    Well that just shows you are one of the cool kids :wink:

    I can do other things by myself, but have yet to do the bar thing by myself

    My town is so small, if someone saw me at a bar alone it would be around town in 5 minutes that I am a raging alcoholic who got stood up.
