I've never eaten alone, never gone to the movies alone, never traveled alone!

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.

I used to have to sit at the bar to feel comfortable eating alone, now I just grab a booth and my book.

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.

@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!

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 & he ended up being a creepy stalker that took months to get rid of. I do like to shop alone & I don't mind going to museums/beaches/touristy things alone

@Baby Boy Mom: me too!

@banana: I love shopping alone too!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't mind eating alone as long as I have a book. I get bored if I'm just sitting there doing nothing.

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.

I've dined and watched movies alone, but have never traveled alone.

I've done all those things alone and never felt weird about it. 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.
