Prince Hakeem,

No. I've been to a few flicks by myself. You cannot always wait for the other person to be with you, because you never know if they may not go.

I been by myself a few times, it's cool catching a late night flick munching on popcorn with ur feet up on the chair in front.  Almost as if u were in ur own living room.  I got annoyed the last time I went cinema with someone cos they decided they were gonna hold a conversation while the film was on and made me miss what was said.  So yeah sometimes it pays to go by urself.

Not only will have I gone to several movies by myself, I have gone out to eat by myself.  Especially when I am travelling on business.

For real. If it's a major blockbuster I usually go with people, but if it's some choopid film like Borat then I'll go early afternoons or on cheap Tuesday lol.

Nuff people gwaan like its something to feel shame about thats why most peeps don't openly admit when they've been on their jays.

I like going out on my own. Nothing beats being with a girl in the cinema but sometimes its nice to see who you can pick up without a girl already on your arm.

Eating in a resteraunt is a tough one to do though.

Hey no i dont think its embarrasing ... I do it when no one wants to see a film that i do .

 Its a lot cheaper and gets me away from the kids  it costs a fortune to take them they want everything bought from there . I cant palm them off with goodies bought from the newsagents round the corner  lol .confused3

Since when?  When none of my pathetic friends want to see a film that I think is worth watching, I just ditch their asses, get some nachos and go and enjoy myself.  Also on some Sundays at noon, I go by myself to watch some indie flicks.

Do it all the time, what's so difficult? Going out to dinner alone is something I'd have to get my head round though [wish I could - but seems too - well - admire those that can] Cinema alone is NOTHING!!

Used to do it go on ma own a few times when i was younger. Its easier to do when there's a few sparsely spread people, but when the screen room is full then a lil self consciousness kicks in. Although probably false it feels as if everyone is looking at you when you walk up the aisle. If anyone seen the episode of 'eve' when everyone looks at here for walking into the restaurant by herself, its a similar feeling in a full cinema.

Going out to eat by yourself really isn't that difficult.  If you are really that self  conscience about it just take something to read.  Ya' gotta stop worrying what people think or say about you.  Sometimes it's just good to have some time alone.
