For sure no drinking and driving!

I go out by myself all the time. I would be bored to death I did not. That's my best advice to friends that are looking to meet someone. A lot of places at trivia, a small band, karaoke, all sorts of activities

Oh, absolutely. I like to go into a bar with some tv's or pool tables. I'll watch a game or play a few games of pool(by myself and usually someone comes over and wants to play.) In fact, if you pick the right bar, you'll notice a lot of people head in there alone just to wind down after work. Just do it. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

Why not, sit at the bar and strike up a conversation with someone!

I've gone to bars by myself because I was too lazy to mix up a Cape Cod.

The few times I've gone, I had no interest in meeting people, I just wanted to get plastered. I put my earbuds in and zoned out. Yes, I was smart about it and had a DD available.

I haven't had a drink in about a year!

Bars are probably the best place to go if you want a quick mindless hook-up that you aren't paying for by the hour.

If you want a relationship then there are many options better than going to bars.

Going alone, no problem. But what is it you are looking for?

Depends on the kind of people you want to meet.

Not all bars are the same, some are hookup places. Some are community hang outs. Some are scenes. my boss has a fave bar where she goes for food and conversation. pretty low key place, she isn't looking for a hookup. each time i have been i have had great conversations.

I have an acquaintance that met her husband and half of her closest friends at a specific bar.

All normal average people with enough common interests to build a friendship.
