Imago said: Is this is a normal feeling when dining alone? I don't get that when I watch movies by myself. Any of you dine alone regularly? Do you ever feel weird? Has growing older changed this attitude any? I sometimes go out just to dine alone as I am usually always with others for every meal I enjoy the alone time and in now way do I feel starange while dinning alone I'm already a freak though so maybe that's why | |

I actually hate going to the movies with anyone. I pay too much
money to sit and listen to anyone talk through a movie. I've gone to the movies with friends and had to go back alone and watch it. So, I prefer to go alone. Last time I went out to dinner with a friend, I was embarrassed. We went to a beautiful Japanese restaurant. The kind where they cook your food at the table. We sat with two couples. It was ok until she drank too much Saki. She started cursing and talking too loudly. I wanted the chef to throw one of his knives at her. I have never had a problem going out to eat, or anywhere else alone. I could care less what anyone thinks. [Edited 6/23/07 21:11pm] "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

It's like it's that special sort of 'me' time where I don't have to worry about guests, or who ate enough, or if they liked what I cooked. I can just sit back and enjoy a meal just.for.me. - and not have to listen to anybody talk! I look at it as a luxury, actually . ...and who the flip cares what the waiter/waitress thinks? It's not like they pay your bills or your salary that allows you to eat in their restaurant (and in turn pay THEIR salaries) in the first place Otten, I don't say this enough - you fucking ROCK thanx, sis! | |

I always went out alone. But I always knew someone at whereever I went so it wasn't really like going out alone. I go to shows alone, games, parties, whatever. It doesn't bother me. Boyfriend lives in ATL so he's never really around for the majority of the things I go to.
I was on-air for 6 years in my old city and I got to know SOOO many people in my city. On the flip of needing to be alone, people just don't understand your need to be private...we weren't balling or living like MTV cribs, but people knew who you were and TALKED about you. So when I got funny acting about my privacy people thought I was being a beee-atch. But...since moving to my new city, Charlotte, I've become more reclusive. But that's got nothing to do with being afraid to be alone going out. I'm having personal success and ambition issues. But I'm getting better. My success depends on networks and I need to get out. But I'm having an incredibly hard time shaking this "fuck it" mood. I think I am going to just say "fuck it" and move to ATL and start family starting early. But then again ATL will be the same that I am dealing with in this conservative clique ass pretentious fucking city.... Shit...what were we talking about? My bad....carry on! | |

One of the things I truly hate is to cook for myself. I love to cook, but somehow I can't put efforts in it with it's solely for me. So I made a pasta-sauce with tuna and some other leftovers and it didn't taste good at all. | |

U a reporter or something? I dig that when people aren't afraid to just do what they do alone. When I think about the amount of time I spend alone it's kinda scary But that's just my life right now, probably one of the reasons I'm so fiercely private - I'd hate for somebody to just roll up like they know me, AND I'm shy | |

I worked on air for a radio station. I did everything, but mostly news in the morning. I did a whole lotta other things...now I'm soo thankful that my station pimped my ass. I was a "fake" news person. A Hip Hop head at heart. But I needed a secure job with benefits outta college. NOw I'm just me and back in grad school. I never learned my lesson that people will see you everywhere...seriously. I'd be at the grocery store with no make up after I left the gym looking CRAZY and there'd be some asswipe that would call me out and then tell everyone around them who I was. I could have choked those assholes! My roomate thought I was being a bitch because this dip shit she was seeing told all his friends I was his female friend's roomate. I didn't know him and didn't know his friends. There's always a crazy one in the bunch...I mean, folks kinda think that you are public property or something. I can't tell you how many times dudes would get TOOO close when meeting me. Gross. ...But the perks were GRRRRREAT! Rolling solo is fine and I reccomend it. | |
