I went to grab a drink on the way home as I felt like it and was on my own.

Do many people do this or is it just me?!?!

This could also include things like going to the cinema, eating in restaurants, going to clubs, going on holiday, etc etc etc

Cheers

Never been to the pub on my own!

I've got to the pub before the people I've been meeting, but never stayed and drank on my own!

I do like to go shopping on my own! Nothing more annoying when someone keeps picking stuff up and saying "what about this" or "oh, that's nice".

I used to prefer going out for drives on my own aswell!

I've done a weeks driving holiday on my own in the french alps, twice. It's brilliant and i fully intend to do it again as soon as poss.

The breaks coincided with wifey working away from home for the duration, which made it much easier for me as it meant i didn't have to go through all that justifying why i wanted to go etc.

But driving on those utterly deserted wonderful roads in the massif and alps is about as close to nirvana as i reckon i'm likely to get whilst still on earth.

I would prefer to share those moments with someone special. I love going on adventures with such people. Each to their own, I guess is the phrase. smile

I can drink alone, eat alone, sleep alone, ermm do other things alone biglaugh

I love walking alone, or with dog, in an area with few others. I have travelled alone in a manner, I knew no-one I was travelling with initially.

Actually I like my own company, many don't and need others there but it doesn't bother me ... *loner mode on*

All the time. Not the cinema but pub, clubs, days out etc

You always see people you know or meet new people. And sometimes you just want to enjoy a pint on your jack and watch the world go by.

No biggy.

Always shop alone.

Very occasionally go in the pub on my own to get an ice cold Corona but there are always people I know in there anyway.

Went to the cinema on my own once, it was horrible, lacked the fun and social element, never did it again.

When we went to Prague last year (group of mates) I was flying home to a different airport so I stayed an extra night and just spent some time seeing the sights and made my own way back.

I'd rather be sociable, but sometimes it's relaxing to be by yourself.

Yep...used to go to the pub on my own sometimes.

It was nice to sit down after work with a beer and the paper. I found it a good way to unwind.

If a film at the cinema is one i REALLY want to see, then i actually prefer going on my own, at some odd time so its usually not packed. Means i dont have my friends talking in my ear, or getting up through it etc. Call me grumpy but i actually want to watch the film biggrin

I dont like driving alone unless im properly giving it some, otheriwse its just boring.

Dont goto pubs much any more, if i do its always with friends when we stop off after a drive. I dont really enjoy going out clubbing/drinking any more, just cant be arsed with feeling sick the next day, id rather spend the money on petrol biggrin

Yes im odd frown

I love going to pubs on my own, its much harder to pull with wifey being there. Also most of my mates dont drink so going with them is pointless.
Speaking of which I shall be attending Nottingham beer festival tomoro if anyone is interested! lol.

Been to the pub a couple of times on my own to sit with a pint and read the paper.

Wouldn't go to the cinema or a club. It's only because you can sort of treat the pub as an extended living room smile
