I seem to have quit asking couples over for dinner (or any meal). It's just weird for a woman alone to invite a pair to a social gathering. I need a blow-up man to sit in a chair at the table...
I don't go out to dinner that often by myself unless I'm traveling. When I do, I choose to sit in the bar area as there are other single folks there. Also, there's usually a TV on so you can pretend to be interested in hockey or tennis or, heaven forbid, golf. (I know I'm in trouble here, but I can't help it.) I do travel by myself, but now there are lots of eons friends and some of them might be up for traveling with me! I had always wanted to cruise the inside passage up to Alaska. Finally did that last summer with about 40 others from eons. It was terrific.
I will do most things alone but I will not go out to dinner alone...lunch yes, dinner no....I also do not like to travel alone but I will.
I don't go to reunions or receptions alone. My family is very formal (read stuffy) and a single woman does mess up the table, so I don't get invited to dinners either. If there is to be dancing at an affair I won't go without an escort either.
I can do anything alone, can't think of nothing I wouldn't do.
I have dinner alone but I never go to the movies alone. I just don't go to movies. I used to travel alone to visit an ex-girlfriend but traveling can be so confusing since I take buses since I don't drive.
I go out to dinner alone all the time. I keep a paperback book in the car, and it goes in with me. I can get a few pages in while waiting for my food. And usually read while eating. I go to movies alone, shopping alone, the beach and/or the lake alone. I plan to be braver this summer and travel and sightsee alone. I have signed up for ome local meetup groups. but don't lkie to go to the alone, I dislike going to group activites where I don't know anyone alone. Going on my first skit last year took a lot for me. If I had not been chatting nightly with that group, I probably wouldn't have gone. And almost turned around and went back home several times. Now I have to skitting thing down, I am going to try the meet up thing, alone.
Sf, if you need a travel partner, yell, if it's somewhere I am interested in going, and money is right, and no other plans, I might be up for it.
I hate going anywhere alone, but I'm getting better at it
I went to Arizona alone had a great time! but boy more than once I wished I had someone there to share that Ahhh! with
And how great it would have been to play in the snow with someone and share how excited I was the first time I saw snow!
ever tried to have a snowball fight alone?
"ALONE" what a horrible existence: God take me now if thats my future
I work in Manhattan and after work on a friday night I love going to a movie on my own and getting something light to eat afterwards. I am so accustomed to being on my own and I am very comfortable with it.
But I do have my activities that require the cooperation of others:
*Playing Backgammon for hours
** Dancing all night
*** Trying out a new restaurant and ordering a good bottle of red wine & talking for hours
**** Making a delicious meal at home and sharing it with my friends around the kitchen table
