I bring a book when I'm out eating alone so that I have something to do, and also so that others dining alone don't strike up conversations. It's kind of fun to get some time to yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-169060 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:49:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 169060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to shop alone but I want company any other time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-169029 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:38:11 +0000 BoogieBea 169029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dined and watched movies alone, but have never traveled alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-169018 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:34:40 +0000 Alivoo01 169018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to travel a lot for work so traveling alone wasn't a big deal, I've eaten at restaurants by myself, but I usually bring a book since it can be awkward. I prefer company while eating out though. In general, I don't mind doing things alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168825 Fri, 25 May 2012 07:15:52 +0000 heffalump 168825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love seeing a movie alone! I used to go all the time. I would go in the middle of the day when it's not crowded though, sometimes I had theaters all to myself.</p> <p>I don't mind eating alone as long as I have a book. I get bored if I'm just sitting there doing nothing.</p> <p>Traveling.... it just depends. I have an awful sense of direction, so I'm too scared I'll get lost. I spent a week in NYC with my sister a couple of years ago, and she worked so I was on my own. Every night we would figure out what I wanted to do the next day and she'd give me step by step instructions on how to get everywhere. I couldn't change my mind because I can't read a map and figure out any changes. But I did have fun, it was nice being able to do only what I wanted and not having to do what someone else wanted to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168806 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:57:27 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 168806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely wouldn't go out to eat or to a movie by myself. I would just feel awkward!<br /> I do like to go out to coffee alone though and bring along a good book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168756 Fri, 25 May 2012 04:35:32 +0000 SugarplumsMom 168756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was single, I liked doing things alone. Especially shopping alone! I would always feel slightly uncomfortable dining alone though, so I usually have something to read on the table - but at the same time, I love how peaceful it was.</p> <p>But since DH, I prefer to be with him. I can't imagine traveling alone anymore. I still enjoy dining alone though, but at lunch places, nothing formal or fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168746 Fri, 25 May 2012 03:32:49 +0000 Rosie Girl 168746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like doing things alone! I really like having people with me. I ate out for lunch once by myself and felt really awkward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168684 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:39:37 +0000 eeh 168684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of doing things alone (movies, eating out, etc). If I do have to eat out alone I'm usually playing on my phone so I feel less awkward. I do like shopping alone sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168678 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:32:32 +0000 Boogs 168678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done any of those things alone, but I do enjoy being alone...just at home, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168581 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:25:39 +0000 chopsuey 168581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I love shopping alone too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168571 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:22:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 168571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Ha me neither. </p> <p>Going to the movies alone is on my 101 in 1001 list. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168558 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:15:36 +0000 autumnlove 168558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168555 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:13:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 168555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done all those things alone, but I prefer company! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168548 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:11:15 +0000 mrs. bird 168548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been to a movie alone or gone to a restaurant alone. I haven't traveled much alone, I think I only stayed in a hotel alone once. I stopped going to bars alone after I was followed home by a guy one night &amp; he ended up being a creepy stalker that took months to get rid of. I do like to shop alone &amp; I don't mind going to museums/beaches/touristy things alone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168541 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:06:10 +0000 banana 168541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally don't mind eating alone. I"ve never watched a movie alone. I don't think it would be that fun for me. I LOVE shopping alone though. I actually prefer it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168536 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:05:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 168536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: probably somewhere not too far. i love driving alone so it could even be driving distance. i haven't seen much of the east coast since I'm from the west coast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168535 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:04:52 +0000 skibobrown 168535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate doing things alone -- even things like errands and other things that I should be able to do alone. I have to travel alone for work quite often, and I always try to make new friends really quickly at whatever work event I'm at so that I don't have to eat any awkward meals alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168532 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:03:35 +0000 Andrea 168532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: where would you want to travel to? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168527 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:02:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 168527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes totally. in fact i would LOVE to travel alone. i doubt i will ever get a chance to do that though. maybe when the kids are way, way older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168474 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:41:32 +0000 Sweet T 168474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've eaten alone and traveled alone. It was no big deal. Actually, I did drive 16 hours alone once and that sucked. I was screaming to the music I had playing. I've never been to a movie alone. I wouldn't mind it, but I can usually find someone to go and it's not an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168464 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:40:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 168464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I can shop alone but everything else I prefer company when out and about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168459 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:38:53 +0000 mediagirl 168459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. With all the traveling for work I do, I have to be! I felt awesome when I went to a movie by myself the first time. Of course it was a Nicholas sparks movie so I sniffled through it. :-) </p> <p>I used to have to sit at the bar to feel comfortable eating alone, now I just grab a booth and my book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-comfortable-doing-things-alone#post-168447 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:35:07 +0000 Rubies 168447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've eaten alone and I don't mind that.

I don't mind! Probably not so much the traveling anymore, though. </p>
