Going alone vs. going with other people

[OhSoVeryLadylike]

I like going places alone. Especially out to eat and movies for some reason. I just like doing things alone. I like to check out really nice and different restaurants, I take a good book as for a decent out of the way table in the last cut zone and enjoy. I will spread my mealtime out...have apps, salad, entree, drinks, dessert. And I tip well so I never get bad service...lol



I like doing outdoor activities like amusement parks, zoos with friends. But I still like going to a park to read alone, or sit by the pool alone. I thoroughly enjoy my own company.

I have no problem doing any of those things alone.

I usually shop alone or with my husband (he gives great advice). I go to religious services alone occasionally, if I want to go and my husband is sick or out of town, but we usually go together or not at all. When I've gone to shows, games, or concerts, I've always gone with a group, but I'd have no problem going alone.

As for eating alone - a few years ago, I had a job where I was on weekly travel. If I'd had any problem eating alone, I'd have been very hungry. Sometimes I went out with my coworkers, sometimes I got take-out and brought it back to my desk or my hotel room, and sometimes I just grabbed a book and went to a restaurant by myself. I generally don't go to bars alone, though, unless I'm going to a bar in a hotel for a quiet drink.
