Also, there is no-one to check in with. If I go out, and ain't feeling it, and want to head home early/go someplace different/etc - I can. No negotiaging with your girl who just swears she's about to hookup, no whinging about who can afford what, no figuring out the car issue - just, dip.
The first time I went out alone was shortly after a break up. I got dressed up one Friday night and went to the movies. I kind of felt weird in line by myself seeing everyone grouped or coupled up. I said I would never do that again so if I do go I def hit it up in the daytime. I see a lot of people by themselves during the day anyway. I'm too shy and self-conscious (unfortunately) to do much more than that alone. It's great to hear about you ladies great experiences with going out alone and meeting others, this gives me a little more hope to venture out alone if I have to.
Hey, I conducted my "experiment" and actuallly wound up going out alone to this nyc lounge last night and had a BLAST.
I am so glad i went, i got there and within 5 minutes i had these 2 guys approach me to make small talk. After they left, some other dudes approached. During small talk, i mentioned that i had come solo bc my friends did'nt want to come out, they actually thought that was so cool. Didn't buy a drink the entire night, got some phone numbers, and had my cab ride home paid for
I had a really nice time, will be doing this again.
Yes, I've gone out alone. One particular time I went to a jazz club and met a GAWJUS chocolate man. That was like 2 years ago and I'm still kicking myself in the arse for not getting those digits. We had a great lil ole convo and he said he liked my hair.
I want to be able to go out more places alone, but at times I get really insecure and feel people are just staring at me like some loser. I don't make eye contact unless someone make it at me, and I don't go up and start conversations. I want to learn out to be more socialable alone, but I'm really shy when it comes to that and proably miss out on a lot on life due to this.
I was thinking about this this morning ... I would like to start going out to different restaurants but would feel kinda awkward sitting there by myself. I'm not a big movie goer but I've gone to movies in the past solo.
Yes, but for some reason it's always more fun when I do it while traveling. I can't tell if it's because people in other countries are different or if I am different when I go to other countries or a little of both.
