I love going to the movies alone. I never felt self-conscious about it until a friend said she liked going alone but was too embarrassed to do so on a Saturday night. I’d never realized that going to the movies alone was shameful.

I don’t understand the “too open” comment. Open is so much better than mysterious. Life is complicated enough.

I relish the alone time in my life these days. Going to workout late at night, being in the LR by myself after everyone goes to sleep, going to the grocery store alone, shopping alone, and just the car rides where I’m alone I enjoy every nano second. When I was single upteen million years ago, I also enjoyed my alone time. I remember living w/ my dad a few months after I graduated from college a few months before I graduated and him being gone on the weekend and having the entire house to myself. Those weekends I would stay in and not go anywhere. I say keep enjoying your alone time b/c sometime in the uture you’ll find yourself w/ a husband and children and then your alone is almost non-existent.

I like doing stuff a lone too… movies, theatre, even travel… best vacation was 3 days alone in Key West.
I like heading to Chinatown for the day… you can be surrounded by people but still completely isolated.
My friends say the same thing about “no mystery”. My feeling is, you want mystery read a novel… I am who I am.

No mystery = no interest. The mystery is what makes people want to come back and learn more, I think. The mystery helps romance.

I have to say, it was the best date I had in a while.

Boy, do I know that feeling…

I’m an only child, so I learned early on how to amuse myself alone. I think it’s a good life skill, if not something I want to do every day!

I know! my friends call me a weirdo for wanting some nights alone…they seem to want to see each other 24/7.

btw…they say the same thing about me…i’m too open. But isn’t it better? I prefer to use my energy for useful things, learning new things, etc rather than just to play games with people’s heads…

I’m much the same way - very independent. People often don’t get it; some find it threatening. But I’m with you: I’m often my own best date.

You know what you like to see, you don’t have to share the soda/popcorn/candy, you can do whatever you want before/after the movie. I agree, sometimes the best date is going alone. I also agree about the mystery being crap.
