That said if u like them go


Believe it or not, I once picked up a hot chick by going to the movies by myself. She saw me by myself so she sat right next to me because she felt weird about being there by herself, we ended up talking, and it actually ended up becoming a date. So you never know, just because you arrive alone, don't mean you will leave alone.

You probably just hit the jackpot

I don't see the big deal of going to the movies by yourself. I got to the movies by myself most of the time cause of my crazy work schedule. And most of the time i go to the movies by myself are in the morning. No problem with that.

It's not weird to go to a concert by yourself but it can be risky cause your all alone. A group of douchebags may cause trouble with you and ruin your experience or/and your face. It's better to go to a concert with a group of people. It's more enjoyable and you'll feel safe.

I've never been to a concert alone but one time after a long days of work, I went to a movie by myself. Don't ask me why, but I just did it. Pulled over to the side of the street, got out, and went on a one man journey.

I mean I love my wife with everything I have and love my daughter the same way, they're my family; but lol for some reason I just wanted to relax and not have to do anything around the home. Just became a first time father at 26, this must've been like 2 1/2 years ago, my daughter was a couple of months old and out of nowhere I was looking for a movie to catch, ordering myself some food and snacks, and just found myself relaxing for a while. I think my mind needed a small break. One day I just became a dad and happened so quick. This was the first time in a while, that I just observed everything and thought about life.

lol i remember calling my girl and telling her before the movie started that, I got bored on the way home from work and here I am inside of Baywalk thearters catching a movie. Turned out to be a pretty awkward conversation. She was like, who goes to the movies by themselves? Then she was like, who the fk are you with? lmao I got mad worried (for no reason) and I was like chill woman, lol, was like you know me you can come to movies right now and see me, myself and I. She laughed, called me weird, and hung up. She still asks me, who goes to the movies by themselves, who does that? My reply; Me, Myself and I :lol:

But yea, nah man it's not weird. Sometimes a man just needs a little break to ease our minds. I mean if you're single, for a concert, I'd try and find a date. Why not? Think about it, what girl/woman that's into fun and a good time... Wouldn't wanna go check out a concert with a good dude? Have a good time and what not. But even if not, go check out the concert solo, have a good night, create life memories that you can share with others.

Yes, its about as weird as needing someone or a group with you to do everything.

I've gone to concerts/music festivals by myself before. Even when I go with friends we usually get separated anyway and just meet up after the show

I don't think anyone really pays much attention to other people at a concert, everyone is just trying to enjoy the show. Unless it's a really, really small venue where you're sitting at a table by yourself...don't do that.

I'd go if I were you, but then again I go out by myself on sort of "solo adventures" all the time. At concerts and big events and such, I usually tend to leave my group of friends anyway and chat up random people, make new friends and branch out a little. A lot of times my friends are mad annoying and just follow my every footstep and ask me a million questions anyway when I"m just trying to have a good time.

ADTR's a sick band btw; you'll definitely meet a bunch of chill people there. You already got a conversation starter with the music

Nice man thanks!

And ya ADTR is awesome, it's rare to find a band that you like 95% of all their songs which is the case for me with ADTR.

In a group or alone. I make everything a social event. I used to wait on my friends and coordinating with them especially if you have an eclectic collection like I do which caused more angst than enjoyment. I now do whatever I want to do first without waiting on people. I mention things and my best friend is good at counter offering like I'm at the beach now, can you wait 2 hours and we'll roll out together but for the most part I'm like I'm doing this, announce it on FB or texting and have people meet up with me later.

I'm the dude that knows all the owners and hot employees and gets free food and drinks which in turn hypes me up to anyone around and helps meet new people, ( when I say people I mean women :D).

But then again I've always really been omega like that.
