Going To The Theater: By Yourself Or With A Friend?

I have never gone to a movie by myself. I have gone to fast food resturants to eat but not a sit down resturant by my self. I think that it is because I go to movies and dinner to be with people so I dont do it by my self. Most of the movies I watch alone are at my home. Maybe it is something I shoud try, I might learn something new about me.

Something I haven't done by my self.... hmmmm I have not concived a child by my selfdoes that count :)))) Both were joint efford :0. Anyway I cant think of anything I have dobe in social contence by my self. I have been to mcdonalds and things like that by my self but not to a "proper" restaurant. And I would hate going to the movies by my self in fact I hate not been able to have my kids with me so we go drive in instead its much more fun with the baby crying and son making comments.

I haven't gone to see a movie alone. Mainly because I am not a movie goer. However, I will go eat alone anywhere. My husband travels in the summer since he's a softball coach. When he's gone I will go alone. Several of the restaurants around our area know me because we do eat out alot. So I can be greeted with a smile and conversation before they even seat me. Makes it more comfortable.

if there is something playing at a movie theater, or at a live theater, and I want to go, I'll go on my own. If my husband and I want to see the same things, we'll go together. I know a lot of people who say they will never go unless they have someone to go with, but that was never me, If I want to go alone, I will.

Not gone to a movie in yearssss. But I do like to go by myself out sometimes as like I did yesterday. Went gambling for 6 hours really enjoyed it and have ate out by myself but that really isnt all that fun.

I never have been to the theater by myself either. I always went with someone even when I was single. I have gone to a restaurant by myself in my 20s when I was working downtown, and I did feel a little strange then. I have shopped by myself, gone in a bookstore by myself, gone to Church by myself, but eating and movies, I would rather go with someone.

I went to a movie once by myself and I didn't like it at all. I need people in a theater to make it fun for me, by people I mean my family or friends. Otherwise I can just stay home and watch something on tv.

Well, you should try going out by yourself. I have gone to movies by myself. I have gone out to eat by myself also. I figured why stay home waiting on someone to do the things I enjoy when I can be out doing it. I tell you once you do it once, it becomes like nothing.

I don't really go to the movies anymore. But when I did, there were times I went by myself. The same with a restaurant - actually I do that still, if I"m somewhere alone and it's time to eat and if there is a nice restaurant close by. I prefer it to going to harveys or macdonald's. I occasionally like doing things alone, be it going to a movie, or a restaurant or anything else. Actually I do like to go shopping for clothes alone even though I miss out on the opinions of a friend of a family member on how what I'm planning on buying looks on me, but mirrors work as well LOL

Dear friend, I too is divorced and I do go for movies by alone mostly as I do plan to go for movie at a sudden. But I do enjoy going with friends. ImMostly spend time my friend by chatting with each or just travelling.

I have never gone to the movies alone, either. Of course, I haven't gone to the movies at all in at least 8 years, so that doesn't mean much. I have gone to eat alone at a casual dining place, like Chili's, but never at a formal restaurant. It seems such a waste, since the point of going out is to make it a social event, in my opinion. The only reason I've ever gone alone was on my lunch break at work.

I never got married yet. So I am okay to go to restaurant by myself. I used to go this Vietnamese restaurant myself, just a big bowl of beef noodle soup. Other than that, I must go see movie with a friend. If there is no one available to go with me, I might just watch DVD at home.

Hi gtargirl, I can do both I can go to malls, restaurant and movies with companion or even without. But if I have to choose I will go with someone it can be my friends, so that when we have our free time to chitchat we can have topics to dicuss. If my friends don't want the film I wanted to view that's the time for me to watch alone but this is a rare occassion for I and my friends are not movie goers we usually enjoy eating in a restaurant and just sit in a corner and just relax and talk talk and talk. You can do simple things with your friends and enjoy life. Thanks.

I would definitely go with a friend. Doing things are much better when done with friends.

I do not like to go out by myself. I enjoy going out or watching movies with a company.

I think I would rather have someone go with me. I hate going to places by myself. I would more than likely take my husband with me as he is my best friend anyway. I would take others also if they lived closer to me.

Oh really!? Then you seriously don't know what you're missing out on!! Certain kinds of movies ought to be watched alone for the viewing pleasure, and I just don't ever get the same fun no matter who's keeping my company or what other variables be changed. There's only one genre of movies that I would hate to watch alone, and that's comedy! Actually there's another, but oh..I'm still single! As far as the restaurants go, the food is all what matters to me, and once it reaches the tongue (esp. when it's palatable) I invariably happen to lose conscious of my company and get entranced in the relish of the dish. On the contrary, when the food's unpalatable, I can't help but not ignore it and find it real hard to shift my focus on some other object or to converse.

I always go to theater along with my family, I don't I could enjoy going out alone. Mostly I do an activities with my family. BR.b

I have never gone to a movie by myself...I just cant see myself ever doing that. I have gone to a restaraunt by myself and did not enjoy eating alone in public...just my experience I guess.

It's so funny that you posted this comment, because I am debating to go see a movie by myself. I read the book "My Sister's Keeper" and I want to go see the movie. I love reading a book and then seeing the movie! But I have no one who wants to go with me. My sister and mother don't want to see it because they think it is too sad. My boyfriend refuses to go see it - wants to save the movie stash for GI Joes. I was thinking that I might save myself a couple of bucks and go by myself during the matinee sometime next week. I was thinking of dressing in some comfy clothes, sneaking in some sort of guily-as-sin-treat like almond M&M's, and just going to enjoy the show. But I don't know if I am brave enough because I never have. And I have never dined alone, if I know I have to eat alone, I usually will go through a fast food drive through instead of a sit down restaurant.
