Going out Solo

I go to cinema quite often on my own if others can't make the same time showing, doesn't bother me as we don't talk when the films on either way.

When I worked out on the road and to stop over I'd eat in the restaurant on my own instead of getting room service, plenty of others who did the same too.

I don't see the stigma anymore. I think there was. But less so now. Never been to the cinema on my own as gf likes the same films. But I'd have no issue going. As, like you say, it's not like you talk anyway.
 
I do this often and I'm married lol.

I go on holiday on my own as my wife doesn't like to travel. I'm going to live in France for a month solo in May and can't wait.

Also go to a lot of gig solo as friends aren't into the same music.

I used to pop for a pint quite often on my own.

There is a big local spoons with a huge front window. I used to love sitting there with a pint people watching, was relaxing. Sometimes ate as well, steak and a pint for £8. Can’t argue really.
 
I frequently go to the cinema alone and enjoy it. I have eaten in restaurants alone and like others I equally enjoyed it. Yes, some look at you as if you have two heads but the staff are always pleasant and have a chat more.

Nothing wrong with going out alone.

Yes I don’t mind it.

In the past, I have done mini tours around the parts of England and stay in Premier Inns/Holiday Inn Expresses based on the prices. Had evening meals at either the attached restaurant or nearby.

I holiday alone - most of the time on tours and done a mix of eating a meal alone or with fellow tour members.
 
I think it's because many activities outside are considered to be social, so turning up solo comes with the expectation of someone being with you at some point.

I can imagine it more and more these days. Whilst some enjoy their own company, myself included, it can be a sign of how difficult it is these days to find real friends.

I've never gone out alone with the expectation of not meeting anyone.
 
Love spending time on my own.
I get some people cannot handle that, but I find solo down time, be that eating, drinking, digging etc at allotment is when I process stuff best.

I am now of the age, although have always had this thought to some extent, that I basically don't care what other people think.
Couldn't give a toss what some people may choose to think of if I went in to eat alone somewhere.

A book/kindle is always a great thing to have in your pocket.
Have spent many hours in hospitals etc where a drink and a book can while away hours waiting for people.

Sometimes people watching is more enjoyable than having to be social I find :)
 
Most week nights....due to me working away from home and staying in hotels Mon - Fri.
I found it strange at first but now I actually prefer it, its a double edged sword though because going out with my wife and daughter now is pretty frustrating :cry:

Hear that!

Went skiing with some friends a couple of weeks ago and I spent the whole trip either frustrated or embarrassed.
 
when i work away there is no option, it ever McDonalds or takeaway in the hotel, or man up and go eat like a big boy.
I do see a few at the local boozer, and i mean young lads that i see pop in for 1 or 2 then leave.

i was offered a job at Darlington, i would have had to move and the thought of been out there knowing nobody put me off.
missed out on a missive opportunity.
