Going out on your own...ever done it?

Pub, yeah. Club, no (probably because theres no good clubs in Leicester). Nachtmahr gig, Hell yeah :D

I've not actually heard much of Nachtmahr, but I love L'Âme Immortelle. Its right what was said earlier about the the goth and EBM scene, they're very welcoming as long as you don't act a prat or go leering at people you'll be fine.

Not scare, just put off.

I'm 6ft 6 and I'm a walking tank.
I seem to get a lot of male attention on nights out, for some odd reason the male population of Leicester like 6ft 6 males, built like tanks, and like to try and wind him up / abuse him, ask stupid questions " 'ow tall ar yer mate?" or just act like complete ****s towards me.

It just ruins a night out when you get abuse from drunks, it's even worse when you're on your own.
 
Bah, people these days, "I have to be with someone to go out!"

If you are going to a gig surely you are going to be with people with the same interest, therefore, MAKING FRIENDS!

Jesus.

Lol that makes sense.

My mate is 7' 2" and the constant, "errrr, you're tall innit" makes him one angry giant.

And I don't mean going out on your own and meeting people somewhere, I mean going out at night and not knowing anyone.
Im wondering this because there is a club night and gig I really want to go to, the club night is EBM, electro-industrial, industrial, goth, etc and the gig is Nachtmahr ( similar kind of music as club night). But the only problem is that I don't know anyone that can make it/anyone that likes that sort of music aha :D

Ordinarily I wouldn't but I'm very into EBM/Industrial and I find the scene quite friendly, got chatting to loads of strangers at events. You'll enjoy Nachtmahr as well, very good.

I take myself to the cinema quite regularly, but I dont think I could go "out" on my own.

I quite like going to the cinema on my own too.

You can sit where you like, go when you like. I don't have a preference either way (being with friends or not) but I know a lot of people dislike going by themselves...

Indeedy, it's so annoying.

It can also lead to some amusing / amazing situations that only a conversation that started "your big" could lead to.
 
Sounds like a weird prelude to another Pokémon game.

A challenger appears! *neeeeeor dun dun der der dun dun*
 
When I used to go out I had to go out alone because none of my friends were in to that sort of stuff and to be honest, if I'm going to have an opinion on clubs/pubs I have to experience it first. I didn't really want to go.

Bluntly, it was all a waste of time. Everyone is drunk acting like prats, nobody can hear you speak in some situations for clubs. Pubs are more mellow, sit down and chat and have a pint, but thats the second problem, I dislike most alcohols except whisky really.

It amuses me that when topics like this come up, it's the same people who find me odd for not going out to drink to have fun (I have fun with other stuff) that are socially inept at going out by themselves because they are too insecure about what they look like to other people.

It's a large category which a lot of people just fall into, a group I'm glad I am aware of, not part of and steer clear of. Again, to cover my backside, if anyone retorts you're admitting you're in this group, if not then you have nothing to worry about ;)

Thus, I expect no insulting posts back. (Unless someone is really that stupid to admit it on a public forum)

went to the cinema by myself once after a mate stiched me up. Went to see kill bill vol2. Wouldnt be so bad but the cinema was empty when i sat down then became totally full. A bloke and his gf/wife came towards me and kindly stated i was in their seat....."no problem ill move"...then the gf/wife says "well im not sitting on your lap"......loudly. My wit could not take it so equally loudly or more so i said "yuh i saw that service offered when i bought the tickets, didnt fancy it then, dont fancy it now". i had to leave quickly

id would never do it again
 
Went to the cinema a few times when I was a Uni due to there being films on I wanted to see and none of my friends being available due to other lectures etc ...

Now, don't tend to go out really with or without friends ...
 
Not personally.

Though I could see how you could go to a pub somewhere, as you could always read a paper or something. It's obviously something a lot of old men do in a proper 'old men's pub'. Again it's more than reasonable I'd say in a posh bar, say like a hotel lobby, as that's going to be full of people travelling, espcially people on business.

I think going to club's on your own is a bit weird. I knew a guy at Uni who used to do it, he would say he was off 'lone wolfing it'. He was a very odd guy though. Infact one night I ran into him while we were also out clubbing. We asked if he wanted to join us, but instead said he was going to get a kebab and then head to another club (where he would be on his own). Nutcase.
