From a guy's point of view, i think it will be best if girls shop alone. lol You know, boyfriends get real impatient and bored while his girlfriend is trying all these clothes and all those shoes, going from shop to shop, not realizing it's already been ages, only to find out at the end of the line, she will say "oh i will just buy this next time". Oh anyway, we dont show it on our face though. We just say, "thats nice, that looks good on you". haha! For one thing, we dont wanna lose a girl just because she shops a lot and we tell it to her face. No offense meant, just the truth. calyxus

I only shop alone when I have to buy my groceries. It's faster that way,cuz I don't get side tracked. But for other shopping tasks, I have different friends for each situation. When buying clothes, I take a friend who is always honest, and have a good sense and good taste so she can give the right oppinion. When going on window shopping, I take another friend who doesn't mind to walk for hours, and is fun to be with when we poke around silly stuff. When going into one of those boutique areas, I take another friend who is so rich she can buy anything, so I can walk confidently to any branded boutique just to see or try those expensive- like- crazy shoes which I can never afford.

I prefer shopping alone.I don't want any interruptions when shopping.it takes me some time to choose which items I'll buy.I don't want somebody getting bored.I don't want somebody complaining that they're tired.I tend to move from one store to another.

For me it depends what I'm shopping for. Like if I'm shopping for groceries, I like taking my husband because he can find some really good groceries at a good price. Like bargain shopping. If I go alone, then I will spend more money on groceries, then I would have if I had gone with him. If I am shopping for other things like clothes and miscellaneous though, I like going alone. Because I can spend all the time in the world finding things that I am looking for. If I were with my husband, he's impatient most of the time and he'll try to rush you. So most of the time I like to leave him at home.

I sometimes prefer shopping alone because then I can go where I want and do what I want without worrying about another person being bored, tired or whatsoever. I get to accomplish a lot more in my day when I'm shopping alone.

I like to shop alone although I admit it's much more fun when a friend or family accompanies me to the mall. Being alone makes me feel free to canvass what I want to buy, compare and then finally buy the item when I have decided. I also like browsing on bookstores and groceries. It seems as if I accomplish more things when I shop alone.

i do shop alone..sometimes..but i'd prefer to have someone with me.. the advantage of being alone is that you get to buy what you really want..but it doesnt always mean that it will look good on you..that is if you're buying clothes.. the reason why i like tagging someone along is that i want opinions..if i should buy or move on to the next store..also..its fun to go out with friends or even a family member.. shopping time is bonding time.. :D

Hi, I would prefer to go shopping with somebody. I had shopped alone. If somebody with us then we can ask the opinion and it may help us to select easily. Shopping is not an easy task and I am very poor on bargaining. Now we should be smart enough to shop wisely and select the good one on cheap price.

I don't mind shopping alone, but I prefer to go shopping with my husband, a friend or my mother. I think it is nice to have company while I am shopping and when I am shopping with somebody we can discuss the things that we see/buy for instanse clothes or shoes. On the other hand there are some positive things about shopping alone. That way no one gets impatient, if I spend too much time in a shop. Sometimes it is hard for me to make up my mind, and then it is nice to walk around on my own, because then I can spend as much time as I want in each shop.
