If some of you have kept track of my posts, you may have realized I've been thru so much in this whole dating thing; namely online dating. ... I was so happy to be able to go without the slightest irritation that I went to the movies alone because I cant get anyone. No, its because sometimes, there's no one else around and why sit around feeling sorry for myself? WHY!?
See, now that's just awesome!
Look at it this way, you're starting to take control of your life. You're starting to realize that you don't need anyone to hold your hand, and that you're a strong individual by yourself. This is a big thing to learn in life, but once you've learned that, you'll be a much better person.
This is just a small step, but now that you know you can do it and it's not as bad as you thought, then you'll be able to go on to the next thing, and the next.
Personally, I find that very attractive, and I think that a lot of guys will agree with me. What's not to love about a cute, independent, confident woman?

So last night I had nothing much to do, found a cheap movie theater with some good movies, and went with no hesitation. Then, since it was early I went back in and seen another movie alone; no hesitation.
Just last week I was telling my brother I'd NEVER go to a movie theater alone. But at the same time, the thought of having to find someone to go with, then have that person 'cancel' last minute is just not appealing to me anymore.
Moral of the story, Im not waiting for people anymore. If I want to do something (namely sociable activities) I'll just go. Now, I still haven't mastered going to dinner alone...don't have any plans for that either LOL. But its liberating to not be burdened by someone elses FLAKINESS and FAKENESS.

That's a good thing. Good for you. Me, I've always found it a mini escape to go to the movies alone. There's something very self-empowering for me to be sitting in the theatre for two hours--or four if I really want to get away--without anyone knowing where I am. I love it. Dinner alone, I wouldn't do. I'd feel pitiful-looking. LOL

Watching a movie (should be) a solitary activity, excepting maybe the cuddling part (which I find a bit annoying when watching most movies, but that's another matter). Movies are good for dates in that you can discuss em afterwards, but I think for a first date just going out to dinner or doing something with more interaction can be better, and you break the ice quicker.
Sure, I'd go alone, if I really wanted to see a film. When you travel alot you get used to going to everywhere alone anyway. No biggie. I still go out with friends, but doesn't mean I can't do stuff by myself, does it?

Lol, yes, especially those fancy restaurants. If it's like, a cheap diner or McDonald's or something it's no big deal, of course. I don't like it when you walk in alone and they ask 'how many?' and you have to say 'uno.'

Good for you! That took guts and brazil (big) nuts- along with a good attitude. Way to go, man!
I go to the movie by myself if I want to see it. My wife also goes alone if don't want to watch it.
We do love watching movie together and get baby sitter so we can watch.
