What activities traditionally considered social occasions (like dining and cinema) do you feel comfortable doing alone?

Nothing.

Dining alone, yes. I don’t go to fancy restaurants alone, but will definitely go to a casual one like a diner or Panera or another casual eatery. Movies, yes, I go alone no problem. If I want to see a movie, it’s very easy to just go see it by myself.

I’m adventorous to the point of being wild. My first job required a lot of travel and I ate by myself all the time. I had fun with it. The owner of one place would come out and sit with me after he finished my food if it was quiet. That was fun.

Going to a museum. Some things may interest me more than someone else and I love to take my time and view the things that interest me most.
If the world was a trust worthy place, I would also like hiking up mountains, (where there are also no dangerous animals) and taking in the view.
I like to be alone with my thoughts in nature.
Or go walking alone on a beach.
I eat home alone on most days. So no on the dining, and I like to watch movies with other people so I don’t have to worry about spoiling the plot of the movie to someone who may want to see it.

I am comfortable doing things by myself.

Like @Pandora, I have gone to museums by myself especially f I am traveling. And, I have gone out for fine meals by myself with no compunction. I was i NY a while back for a long weekend by myself, had dinner at Craft on East 19th, and also went to see a Broadway play, all by myself.

But being comfortable does not make it my preference. It’s always more fun with a like minded sweetie.

I do lots of things on my own – eating out, movies, whatever. I also travel on my own sometimes, but I will admit that that’s usually more fun with a companion.

Dinning alone. I have full freedom to choose what I want to eat, and there’s no need to be sociable while eating anyway.

I need to go to the movie with someone because being accompanied is the main point of going to the movie. To tell the truth I don’t enjoy the movies being showed in the cinema as much as the ones I watch at home, so the only other thing to make going to the movie fun is being with someone.

By the way you don’t need to follow any trends @ibstubro. I got lost with the tends too and I don’t care. I prefer watching what I really like.

Love going to the movies alone. I will eat out alone but that is usually not my preference. Sgiht seeing in foreign cities…

@Mimishu1995 Hey you, if were going to dinner you can have anything you want. You get pressured to eat certain things?

@Adirondackwannabe well, some people I eat out with want to order something that we can eat together. If their taste clashes with mine we will have problems. I often respect their choice but it isn’t so enjoyable to eat something I don’t like.

Hey, I’d never make you order something you didn’t want. What kind of freak is that? Hey you can go all out with me.

@Adirondackwannabe I’m waiting for that day when you come here :D

I’m not big on eating alone but I go to the movies alone all the time. Just saw “The Gift” on Sunday. If nobody wants to go with me I just go. I like the movies on hot summer afternoons, a great escape.

Since I house sit a lot, so when I’m not staying at home, I do lots of things by myself. I don’t go to the movies too much, but that is only because it’s expensive, but I enjoy going to movies by myself.

I eat out by myself all the time. I probably wouldn’t go to a fancy restaurant by myself for 2 reasons. It’s too expensive, and the staff tends to look upon single diners unfavorably, as if they’re taking up too much space. Oh yeah, I like to read when I’m dining alone, something that would probably also be frowned upon in more shi-shi establishments.

Like @ibstubro, I like to try out new or exotic foods, and vegetarian stuff that other people would not likely be willing to try. Some times I end up looking like a glutton, because I’ll order 3 or 4 items, to taste them all. Doing that doesn’t look so weird when there’s another person along. It’s not like I’m going to eat all of it. I always bring my cooler and take home the leftovers. People sometimes look at me strange when I take pictures of my food, but I like to write reviews for restaurants and I think it helps to add my own photos. I like to see photos of the actual food when I’m reading other people’s reviews.

I like going to the Zoo by myself. That way I can just meander and take tons of photos.

I like walking at the beach, either with someone, or on my own. The beach is just nice.

I also take leisurely Sunday drives (not always on Sunday) around town, just to take pictures.

I’m one of those people that doesn’t get bored easily, so I can find something to do, even if I’m by myself, whether it’s taking pictures, making some drawings, organizing photographs, reading books or fiddling around on Pinterest. Of course, I enjoy doing things with people too, but I’m totally fine spending lots of time by myself.

I also babysit dogs and cats, so technically that’s alone, in that I’m not with people, but I can spend lots of time in the company of animals and be very happy.

I’m also not one of those people who desperately need alone time. When I’m with my close friends and family members, even if it’s in cramped quarters for long periods of time, or at work with my favorite co-workers, I’m totally happy with that. I just don’t get bored easily, so alone, or with people, I can find something interesting to do.
