I know we have discussed whether you would go to a bar alone on this forum, but what about a club?
I have been thinking of doing some travelling alone and I was talking with someone yesterday about a trip they just got back from. I asked them what there was to do at night and they said "go to the many clubs". I imagined being there by myself and asked myself if I could go to a club alone as a female.
I think I could go to dinner or a bar alone, but I don't know about a club. Although I would like to go, I'd have to work really harder to convince myself to do that. lol
What about you? Can you go to a club alone? (you know no one)
I go anywhere I want anytime I want and do not hesitate.Why would I not do something I would enjoy just because I am by myself and society might look down on me?
(yeah, I care about society's opinion a lot.........)
I use to all the time back in the day. It was easy to engage in conversations, people (guys) would ask you to dance and people would invite you to sit at their table. IDK thing may have changed. I haven't been to a club in awhile.
RF Engineering. Have to travel quite a bit, usually about 4 weeks out of the year for training. Last year it was San Francisco and Atlanta. This year it was Dallas and Chicago.
I did it before, a while ago, when my kids were visiting for a weekend, I went to a bar alone. I can't say this happens to everyone, but, this is what happened to me. I sat there for maybe two hours, there were 4 or 5 guys seated around the bar, and me. I think I was the only woman sitting there. There were couples at the tables around the outskirts of the bar.
After finishing my beer, yes, I drink beer, out a glass, thank you. After finishing my beer I was just thinking of leaving, it seemed like the guys who were there were just staring at me, leering. I felt more alone than ever, I hardly even enjoyed being there at all.
Just as I was getting ready to leave a man came up and started talking to me and bought me another. He was kinda good looking and dressed like a businessman, he explained that he was visiting town on business, and a lot of other things about himself - such as, that he was not married, that he was kind of bored...etc. A lot of things that hinted that he wanted me to come back to his hotel room with him - well, after my second drink it was more than a hint.
But, I declined because, isn't this what the 'stories' you hear about 'are'...you know, the woman who never makes it home?
When I got home I looked him up by his name, and sure enough, there he was on Facebook married of course.
I decided NOT to do that again. Going to the bar alone is not for me.
I can't say it would be that for you, you might have all the guys at the bar talking with you because you are more outgoing, and it might be a blast.
But, it seemed like, in my experience, it was everything I don't want. I think I'm just not that kind of girl.
