I like to go alone, i like walking, comparing the products, see all, and buy only what i need. I don t like to go with somebody who repeat all the time...hurry, we don t have time, we must buy and go...this make me angry, I know very well how much time i must stay there, what i must to buy...i like to be alone, walk, look to peoples, why not to go to shopping can be relaxing too.

There is another option, shop with a friend who is just like you.You seem to shop like my mom. Don't look left or right. Pick out what you wanted and pay for it. Me, I like to walk around and window shop on my way to what I came for. If I were with someone who kept saying we must go, I would tell them to go I'll met them at home.

hi icesmile, I do like shopping, I can go shopping with friends, but I enjoy shopping alone so that no one will manipulate my choices. But sometimes I am afraid I might become a shopaholic, so when I started noticing it I try my very best to control my self, now I admit, I regularly go to the mall but not to shop just roam around and enjoy the aircon for it is very hot outside. How about you what else do you do in a mall aside form shopping? Thanks, can you add me as your friend?

I prefer to shop alone... mainly because i want to be done with it quickly... unlike when i am with someone... i tend to worry if they are getting bored with my choices... or that they might want to go somewhere else... but nowaday... i usually shop with my daughter... and goes with me inside the fitting room... she doesn't get bored because she loves looking at herself in th mirror...

For me, I would like to go on shopping with somebody because, I feel bored if I go alone. But, I choose the person who I want to go with. I enjoyed go to shopping if I am not alone

I have never shopped alone as far as I remember.I like to make shopping an event of happiness and fun and an outing.So I prefer to take my wife and daughter to the shopping always.And I don't know I feel selfish and lost if I shop alone.Shopping becomes a pleasure when everyone's need is taken care.

I hate being alone or living alone.So obviously I'll not do my shopping alone.Always I will take my brother or my friends when I go for shopping.It will feel better,because we can share our likeness or dislike of any item/article which we are seeing or looking forward to buy.Shopping with others will make me feel free because I need not carry all the items I have bought.I also agree with you,if the other person with us is not interested in shopping then they will be wanting us to do our shopping quickly and it is a big mess...Best thing to do is we need to take ones company who is also in need of shopping or who wants to shop..

I enjoy shopping it alone, it is ok to be with friends, but I don't want friends to decide on what I am buying. I enjoy going alone for a walk during weekend evening, looking at the beauty of city in night, have soup from one of the sreet shops, do some grocery shopping....

Well, I can accept two ways. I can get different enjoyment from going shopping either accompanying with friends or alone. But I know some people do dislike going shopping with others. My best friend is an example. His girfriend never like him accompanying her. So when she want to shop, she always let him in bookstore to read some books. It's a funny but good idea I think.

I to rather go alone. I usually get more accomplished when I'm by myself. I can concentrate better and be more relaxed. Plus I'm shopping at my own speed and I can do whatever I want while on my shopping trip.

Depends on what I would like to buy. Although lately, I have been buying online, so it only takes my opinion. When I shop to malls, I so,etimes bring a frien with me...the disadvantage is that, I sometimes feel that I owe her the time for being with me, so I I treat her for a snack or meal... also, there are times when her opinion clashes with mine. Like, when I see a certain skirt, I amc ertained that the first time I saw it, I already love it...but when a friend of mine tells me that the color is off, or the style is just boring or somethings, I ended up having second thoughts of buying it...and when I reach home without it, I find myself regreting for listening to my friend! Not that I have something against opinions, they can be helpful at times... they say, 2 heads are better than one, so I guess it is usually helpful to have others ideas. Maybe in my case, I am just sure of what to buy before heading the shops...so when I hear somebody else commenting, most of the time, it's not helpful.

For this answer, i must honest that, i did not want somebody to company me when i go to shopping. Its not because i have no friend to join with me or have ones. Because if i do so, i am thinking of effective or time wasted walking around. I have one friend that agree with me, so i do like to accompay him for buying something only. Useful to desided the purpose first. This is my reason. for your appraise i must thank you

I too like to go shopping alone.I can buy things from the store with peace of mind.If someone is there with me he will say that the product is not good and ask me to buy another product.It also relaxes my mind as i meet new people and speak with them.Once i went shopping alone to a supermarket and bought my favorite eatable items.

I like to shop alone. Usually if others are there I get easily distracted and spend either too much time in the store or too much money. I try to get my mom out of the house once a month to go shopping when she feels strong enough. But as for shopping with friends...I rarely go clothes shopping. So I like to shop alone. That way I can think and stick to my budget the best I can.

Alone, alone , alone. NO pressure, no confusion, no unwanted advice or me wanting to go one way while they want to go another, no time constaints, I could go on and on. Every now and then I don't mind shopping with others but it can be a hassle.

I think it is alot more enjoying to have somebody with me when i get to shop, as long as he/she is not hurrying up as you've said. I think if i have someone with me it makes my shop a lot more exciting, someone to ask if what i want to buy is ok, or someone who can give suggestions on what to buy....

yes!! it is sometimes irritating when we go out shopping with someone and the other person hurries you up and you got distracted and did'nt concentrate on what you are diong but sometimes things were totally different we need advice of someone especially in shopping that how this things looks on me, how I'm gonna look in those glasses etc etc. So, as for I'm concern I like to go shopping with my wife she really gives me a great advice.
