I went to the movies by myself, actually I was suppose to meet someone and I went into the wrong room, but I was alone-does this count? I eventually met up with him after the movie. I can shop alone, but that is about all. I do not eat alone and will not go to a bar alone (unless I am going to meet someone but technically that would not be alone b/c at the bar I would eventually be with someone else-yada, yada, yada).

About the only thing I'm not comfortable doing alone is going to a bar or club.

I go to the movies alone frequently--can think of few better ways to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than seeing 1, 2, sometimes 3 movies in a row. :) But, most of you won't be suprised by that coming from me, your resident cinephile. :D

I've eaten alone, don't mind it at all in a lunchtime type setting, but am a bit uncomfortable when its dinner, so I'll usually get the food to go and go home.

I shop alone, most of the time prefer it that way.

I've gone to weddings and parties alone--I figure what's the big deal, I was invited and will know a lot of people there, rather go alone so I can leave when I want and not be beholden to someone else's schedule. Only once did this prove to be a problem, ironically the very first time I decided to go to a party alone, and y'all have heard enough of my drinking stories already... ;) lol

I live alone and my family lives out of state and at this stage of the game most of my friends locally are married with babies, so I've gotten used to doing things on my own.

LOL, I've often wondered how much more difficult it will be when I do finally have a boyfriend to integrate someone into my life when I am so used to being on my own, taking care of myself on my own, fending for myself. :) But for regular companionship, love and affection-- I'll happily suffer the "space" issues! LOL

I have never ate at a restaurant alone, not even a fast food place.

I have never been to the movies alone.

At first i didnt even like to go shopping alone. Heck, i couldnt even go to Walgreens alone, and i love that place. I like going shopping with my mom so she can give me her opinion on things, but she gets very impatient with me sometimes because i am very indecisive and take FOREVER picking anything out. I am not really too fond of going to the mall alone because of all those stories you hear about women going alone. Sometimes I'll drag my little brother with me :eek: but if its somewhere close by like Old Navy or Bath and Body Works, then im okay with it and it is even better since like many of you have said, no one is pressuring you to leave already.

Have any of you gone to starbucks alone? If i ever go there alone, ill get my drink and leave. Ive thought about going alone and just sitting outside like many many other people do, but i cant.

I am basically very dependent on other people!:eek:

I like to go to the movies alone, but at night it can be scary. Being one of the last few poeple in the theater alone is freaky. Then, going to the car by yourself. At that point i'm basically running!http://www.plauder-smilies.de/uhoh.gif

I'm a loner, I guess. Although I like to have peeps around sometimes. Depends on my mood. I really value my privacy though.

I go shopping alone, but only beacuse when I'm alone I can take 5 times longer than usual and no one is waiting around for me. But I do like to go with my friends and get those brutal honest opinions that salespeople just can't give you.
I haven't gone to the movies alone, but there are so many out right now that my friends can't make it to, I might just have to go. I won't eat at a sit down resaurant alone, but I'll do it in like a cafe or starbucks, or fast food.. but I'll usually have a book to read or home work, or somehting to do.. I can't just sit there.
I actually thrive on having people around, and if at all possible I prefer it. I'm not dependant on other people bing around, I just really like it.

I will do most things alone (expect bars/clubs) but I need to have people around, even if I don't know them. I like being in a public space filled with people cause being alone alone makes me think something scarys going to happen. I will traipse around the city, go out to dinner, or whatever alone but if I had to be alone some place isolated/outdoorsy like a park, or the woods, or whatever natural place it might be I would be freaked out.

gosh i have to say that i've gone to the movies alone a few times when i was in kentucky for an internship and i had NO one to hang out with. i haven't gone out to eat at a restaurant alone but you know just last week i was thinking that i should. but i mean what would i do? bring a newspaper? i like having someone to talk to or make faces at or be silly with. but i do go to yoga alone, i do shop alone, i have gone on walks alone. sometimes alone is very good and lets you think.

This subject hits home with me since I have moved up to a large city and don't know a lot of people.

I too have one of those lunch hours, actually dinner, by myself and I will eat out once or twice a week, but its always fast, healthy-type food.

I go to the gym, go running on the lake or in my neighborhood alone. But I like this, I feel independant.

I have always thought that I would never go to a bar alone, but I did one night after an aweful blind date. I took a taxi from my apt to an irish bar by me and sat at the bar with my corona making convo with a cute bartender who also just got off work and was by himself. So it turned out okay, but I don't think I would do it again.

I like to be around people too much, and when I am at home in St. Louis I am always out with friends and family whether it be on the town or running in Forest Park or watching rented movies.

I've learned that those people are whats really important now that they are not so close. But at the same time, I'm developing my own since of self.

i love doing some things by myself. this includes eating out, going to the movies, sporting events, etc. when eating alone, if i don't bring reading material, i'll just ask for a seat by the window. this allows me to "people watch".

I am an only child and love time alone. I can go out to eat or go to movies alone, no problem. Riding my motorcycles for hours on end is a great way to relax and get away from it all.

hmm
 

I'm always really busy. For that reason I grab food without even thinking of looking for people to eat with. The truth is I like to finish my meals in under ten minutes and get back to my day. Even when I'm back home, my parents get upset because I grab food and go, but I really can't afford the time. When I get upset or if I have a lot of things on my mind, I also walk alone usually near Lake Michigan and think things out. I also need to study alone. I went to a library in UCLA one time when I visited a friend, and I had no idea how people studied while others were talking. But I can never go to a movie or a party alone. Even when it's to meet friends, I hate knowing I am going somewhere and possibly having to sit alone until my friends come. That's not for me.

I absolutely hate being alone! I know, that's awful but I do. I can shop alone (only if I know what I want and don't care about other peoples opinions) but that is about it. I've never eaten alone in a restaurant, gone to a movie alone, gone to a bar alone. Hell, I still live with my roomie because I hate living alone. I purposely make plans with people to avoid being alone. And that's not just now that I'm going through some rough stuff.

I'm an only child and spent WAY too much time alone and feeling "left" as a kid. Therefore, I think I'm trying to overcompensate now. I wish I was more independent (which is funny because that is the first word most people use to describe me) when it comes to this stuff...
