Title: Where would you go?
Post by: tnshpalmer85 on August 01, 2019, 04:27:19 pm
Where would you go if you wanted to go out, but didn't have anyone to go out with and you don't want to seem weird. I had someone ask me that question the other day.

Usually when I am alone I pick a nice restaurant to go to dinner and then a movie.  (Or home if nothing good at the movies.!)

    No problem...because there are so many places you can go alone.

I used to go to the mall all the time when I was younger. I would have money in my pocket but would hardly spend it. it was just something to do and I always went alone. after a while of going, I would see  the same people and would eventually become friends with some of them

I would probably go to the mall and shop. Shopping is fun for me. I would also eat in the food court.

Just google the name of your city and "things to do" or "nightlife" or "free fun" most cities have a calendar filled with activities of things going on.

Wow I thought this would be easy but really it isn't.  People do tend to judge someone sitting alone in public.  One time when I was in college I just stepped across the street to have lunch.  While I am sitting there this lady kept looking at me.  When she got up to leave she handed me religious pamplets stating that I looked like I was in need or something to that effect.  I was just thinking at the time what is this lady's  problem why does she keep looking at me.  I suppose that did set the tone for not sitting by myself in a restaurant....  Other than that I am never alone.  go for a walk the dog comes with.  So for now I would love to be by myself any where even for a short time.  You know other than the bathroom.

I don't have a problem with it and to each his own.  Many people go out alone to the mall, park, to eat, stores, trips etc.

You are not going to seem weird if you go out alone to a movie, to eat, or whatever.   People are too crazy, insane, and stupid. I would not go "out" any where.  I would stay at home.

I'd go wherever I wanted to go. I don't always have someone to go with me, so I just go. The alternative is staying home alone. Sometimes enjoyable and sometimes not.

 I don't much care if people think I'm weird or not. Why should I?

Why is it weird to do things alone? I do it all the time, because I don't have any friends! LoL

Go out to eat, go to a movie, go to the library, go to a concert, go to a bar, go to the park, go shopping, roll down all the windows and go for a drive, etc. Almost anything you do with someone, you can also do without them.

Except seesaws. You can't do that alone.

I would go see a film or just go to the local library to hang out and read or crochet or go on the computers there to do surveys and the like. Or you could go to Starbucks, order a coffee, and sit at a table drinking the coffee and reading a book if you wanted.

Nothing wrong with doing things alone.  I shop and have a spa day and get a manicure and pedicure to list a few things.

Totally agree with this!  I love my alone time once in while I usually can something to do even if it is just going shopping or for a walk.

Frankly, now that I am retired and not married or in a relationship anymore, I go wherever I want alone.  However, I try to pick times which are not popular for having a lot of people.  For example, I go to matinees at the theatre.  They are also usually less expensive at that time.  If there is a popular restaurant, I go to lunch on a weekday.  The lunch menu usually fits my appetite better and is also less expensive. I go to the public library and look at books and movies and what programs they are going to have.  I go to the local Senior Center as there is a very active one near me and they have quite a few day trips that are interesting.  I just joined a gym again and have intentions of going 2-3 times each week. Occasionally, I ask one of my few friends or they ask me to go somewhere.  Today I saw an outdoor art fair as I was driving by and stopped and spent about 30 minutes going booth to booth.  There are many places to go if you just take the initiative and don't let yourself be intimidated that you are alone.  Every once in a while, you meet an interesting person this way.

Wherever I want.  I don't let the fact that I don't have anyone to go with me stop me from going the places I want to go.

I don't see anything wrong with it.  Why would you feel weird?  I don't understand that concept.  Also, I had someone to take me out but sometimes I didn't want to be bothered.

Yes, mall shopping is fun to do alone for me because I don't ever feel unsafe by myself there.  :thumbsup:

I like to clothes shop by myself because I can take as much time as I want.  For just hanging out, I love the library.  I love everything about the library, and would love browsing through the books, audio books, and movies.

I very seldom ever go out by myself but I have never felt weird when I did.

I would go to a museum & just take it all in at my leisure. There are a lot of people alone at museums or galleries. Some artists sit in front of a painting & sketch it.

I don't really enjoy going out alone and I hate malls and shopping so I guess the library would be my choice

I guess anywhere I want to go. Thankfully I am the type of person who doesn't need a person with me to do anything.

I'm never concerned about people thinking I'm weird.  They're entitled to think whatever they want without it having an impact on me.

I go wherever I want to go.  It's nice that I don't have to be concerned about what other people think.

In my younger days there was  just no time to go out between  going to school and  working  2 jobs.  I didn't have  much time and when I did I had to study. But I will say one thing I did not  owe any  money  when I  finished school.  Guess you  could say I was a loner until I  finished. But worth it. I got a job in management right  away.  Got used to my own  company.  And  did not miss the partying or anything. But I  was also  able to travel a lot.

If I wanted to go out by myself during the day, I would probably go to a park with a walking trail and just walk, sit on a bench and read when I got tired, etc. If I wanted to go out by myself in the evening, I would probably go a mall and window shop, et cetera.  :peace:

 Probably somewhere in the daylight.  There are a lot of  places to go these days, but I would need to choose one that didn't cost a lot.  A park maybe - the mall?  It would be too tempting to spend money  :P

I sometimes really enjoy going out or doing something alone.  The quiet time is good for calming and relaxing me.

I go see bands play all the time by myself. Over the years I have met a lot of people so I just talk to who ever I bump into.

I would just go and shop. I love to shop and shopping alone does not bother me anyways.

I love shopping alone, I love spending time alone too. Gives me time to think.

B4 my daughter came along, i was always an at home type of person, even the guy i had, he never took me anywhere, so i just was at home. I would get me some food to go and eat at home, i never went to the movies by myself or none at all. So being along and nowhere to go, suited me just fine.
