How to go to the movies alone
It made me
independent
 "I did not miss out on a great movie so I felt good."
How I did it: Well, I picked the movie, bought the ticket and popcorn and sat down and watched the movie. Since I went to an early show there were not a lot of people there and I did notice quite a few "singles". Lessons & tips: Don't be self conscience, lots of people go to the show alone and who cares!! Resources: Movie guide??? |

How I did it: I went to see Love actually in the theater when it came out. I planned to see it alone as no one else that I knew wanted to see it. I enjoyed the movie and no one made any comments about me being alone and I didn't get any looks or anything!I mean this was a romantic comedy too! I think that we worry too much about what other people think about us. I would do it again. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Okay, so I went to see (500) Days of Summer by myself today... It wasn't awkward to buy my ticket or anything... the awkward part was the fact that even though I went to an 11:50 am showing on a Thursday, it was pretty packed. With couples, to boot! But I didn't care once I got settled in my seat and the movie started.Oh, and it was kinda awkward when something funny happened 'cause I'd laugh all alone while … Read how I did it…
It made me
okay
How I did it: I just went to the movie theater, paid for my ticket, and watched the movie. There really isn't much to this because when you go to the movies you don't really socialize with the people you're there with during the movie. It's just a scary thing for me to do because I don't like doing anything alone. But this is probably one of the easiest things to do alone. It's easy to find a seat too.The downside is that I like seeing movies with peop… Read how I did it…

courageous
How I did it: i made up reasons to not go at first. but then, halfway through the day i said to my self, screw it. so after work, i drove to the mall and bought my ticket. there was no backing out from there... so i had no choice but to be brave. and brave i was. at the end of the day, i enjoyed my movie!

I went to see Jennifer’s Body. I’ll admit it. No one else I knew wanted to see it and I had a day off with nothing to do, so I went. It actually turned out to be pretty good (I thought) and it was nice not to have to argue or defend my choice of movie with someone else.

I went to see Love Actually when it came out. I don’t think my family and friends wanted to see it and I didn’t have a boyfriend at the time.
I think most people just feel awkward doing it but it was great.
I felt proud of myself and very brave.
No one said anything so I think we judge it more than others do.

I have kinda watched a movie alone in a theater before but that was just a funny story where this guy i went with didnt see eye to eye with me and left me halfway through. honestly i kicked up my feet and enjoyed the rest of the movie to the max eating the popcorn and drinking the soda he payed for. (plus my ticket hehehe, thats what he gets for trying to kiss me when i told him to back off. lol) but anyway that to me did not accomplish this goal, which by the way has always been a secret goal cuz i find it kinda embarressing. i mean really who is afraid of the big bad theater! lol. but back to my story, lol, i did it tonight and saw a great 3D “kids” movie called UP. i love 3-D movies! and it was an unfortunate circumstance that it happens to be my 6 month aniversary with the boy i thought i would marry and he has completely ignored me all day, which is hard to do cuz i LIVE with him!! and i know he forgot it was even our aniversary! bastard. but so i was determined to have a good day and celebrate myself without him (im prettty darn stubborn and pretty darn independent). so i went to the humane league and picked out the dog i wish i could have and i went to the movies. all by myself. and all because it made me happy. : ) I love being an independent woman and this was just one more goal accomplished.

There’s still not been anything on that I want to see, or at least, the ones I did want to see I have had people to go with.
Ah well, one day I’m sure.

because i don’t want to have to depend on someone else being free on friday night if there’s something i really want to see. i almost missed out on an amazing movie that i’d been dying to see the day it opened because i depended too much on other people who don’t care. if i only make plans with myself, i don’t have to worry about someone flaking out on me. besides.. i think it’ll make me feel more independant… i hope…
Soon, very soon.

I have decided I will probably be doing this for the new Night at the Museum movie. I don’t know anyone else who wants to see it and I really don’t want to miss it, so I’m just going to go on my own.
