So I was half-sitting, half-lying on the grass in a NYC park waiting for the free movie to start… I was sitting on my sofa throw, reading “101 Lies Men Tell Women” (good read, not of the men-bashing variety), and watching people. And I saw come couples eating, drinking wine, talking; groups of friends chatting, laughing, and some people who were there by themselves. I mean I thought that they were by themselves. And I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that I was by myself, just enjoying my afternoon… But then, little by little, these people would start talking on their cell phones, get up and start waving their arms wildly and then I would see a guy or a girl come and sit down next to them. Yikes… I was there for close to 5 hours and by the time the movie started, I could only spot one(!) guy who was sitting alone. I mean really, give me a break! Everyone is with somebody!!! And while in the beginning I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that I was alone there, I started feeling like a weirdo by the time I left. Aren’t there any single people out there who go out to do things by themselves?

I definitely do stuff like that
I’ve gone to movies by myself, museums, restaurants. It’s interesting to experience things that you do all the time in a totally different way. I’m always surprised at how much I learn about myself (and others) when I do stuff like this by myself.
Kudos to you for have the confidence to do this, too! Keep it up
