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.
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
