I do it all the time. Movies, dinner,, whatever. I did this even when I was in a relationship.

I don`t but that is more because I live out in the middle of nowhere and anything to do in the evening is close to an hours drive one way.
If I am away from home on a trip I have no problem going out to dinner alone or other things.

I'll go out alone. I'm going to the Miranda Lambert concert in January by myself because anytime I ask friends, sister, etc, I always get excuses. Why should I miss out on fun things when everyone else wants to sit home on their bums!?

Some things I've never minded doing alone, like errands, shopping, long drives just because I like long drives. Other things, not so much.

I have been trying to be better though and decided to tackle eating out alone as my first project. Yes, I did put that much thought into it, but it's hard for me to break out of my comfort zones. I am 'in town' a lot, which is too far from home to run back for a meal and I used to get drive through and eat in the car all the time and that's pretty pathetic. I was delighted the other day when I walked into Wendy's (got the healthier stuff, of course), and sat down and ate, for the first time, without feeling all weird. So, now I'm trying to figure out what my next project should be.

One thing I really wish I could do alone is go out for a drink or maybe to see a live band play somewhere! I like to do these things when my kids are with their father, but the majority of my friends are married and really kind of boring (which I didn't notice until I was no longer married and boring :laugh: )...they like to be home early and stuff. I don't think I'll EVER be able to do that, though, so if no one is available, I don't go, and feel :frown: about it.

It took me a try or two to get comfortable with it, but I'm completely OK with it now.

Some establishments clearly are not though. I went to Chang's Mongolian Grill two Fridays ago (I go there once a month or so and the staff know who I am). The hostess seats me in a far hidden corner, in a 4 person booth where pretty much no one could see me.

So I said "hey can I get one of those two people tables like I always get? I'm a people watcher. And I'm alone and don't need this huge table."

I've gone out to the movies, out to dinner, out to bars, even to concerts alone! I don't want to miss out because no one else wants to go!

I'm weird about this....I'll go to the movies alone with no problem. However, I won't go out to eat or to a bar alone. Just way too self conscious!! If I'm meeting someone out I'll even wait in my car till they get there, I won't go in alone. I'm just shy I guess.

I used to never do anything alone I would always believe everyone was looking at me, and talking about me. Then I realized like so what if they are. If I am always afraid of what someone might say then I will miss out on many things in my life. Now I can do things by myself and love it.

I've noticed the same thing about most of my friends.. they think I'm crazy that I want to go out and do things, but I believe it is just because they have that companion to talk to and don't realize what a huge difference it makes. I'm leery of going out alone too, I think a lot of it has to do with my lack of confidence. Once I can get some of that back... look out!

I've gone shopping alone, but never really tried to go eat or movies alone!! Im definitely gonna try it sometime, I rarely get some alone time..

Well I have ate alone plenty of times (like out to breakfast/lunch) But sometimes it gets to the point where ido wish someone was sitting across from me... I won't dine out alone though...I won't go to the movies alone...

Ok being alone can suck sometimes..

I'm perfectly comfortable doing errands..going to public places like libraries, museums, street festivals and fast food restaurants like others have said. Movie theatres, plays, church dinners all good. Now put me in a pub or a sit down and wait for your food kind of restaurant is truly excruciating. It's all I can do not to bring a book or play with my phone...anything but to look around and enjoy my immediate environment alone. Seems to be a common thread from the ladies anyways. I always feel rather exposed or vulnerable though would love to meet new people to chat with while avoiding the 'meat market' scenario. Kind of like 'limelight' syndrome...LOL!

Wonder if you single men feel the same or comfy sitting on that bar stool watching the game and chatting around being out alone???

There're certain things I won't do alone, like movies n' dinners or going to sporting events, things like that 'cause it's just not as fun when you're all alone.

i try to avoid it 'cause when i DO go out, i have this paranoid feeling that people are watching my every move, staring at what i'm wearing or judging everything i do. haha. i even feel that way in the gym. i get soo self conscious.

I like to go to the movies alone because no one is bugging me about what happened or trying to cop a feel. But I don't like eating alone in a resturaunte unless they have a bar you could sit at. But that rounds it up.
