Do you go out by yourself?
Started by biscotty , Nov 11 2012 10:28 AM

Bit of a spin-off.. just curious how many people go out by themselves, and what do you do?
I love doing things like going to the movies or eating out by myself. I've never been out drinking by myself, and I don't think I would know how.. So if you do, what do you do? Strike up conversation with strangers or just sit by yourself?
I'm curious because I am single & my DD's dad has recently started having her the occasional Saturday night. I have plenty of friends but they are still young & childfree & into the clubbing scene.. whereas I would rather stick rusty forks in my eyes than step foot in a nightclub. I'd rather go for a quiet drink somewhere.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:33 AM
Not deliberately. But over the course of time, I've travelled a lot for work and, short of eating room service every night, I've gone out for dinner or a drink by myself. There is a simple pleasure in enjoying a drink without needing to talk.
If I have a choice, though, I'd much rather go with a friend.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:46 AM
I generally have the luxury not to need to. I can imagine living in a new place, not yet having made friends to call, and going to see music or theatre or art alone if I couldn't arrange babysitting and take my partner (or if I didn't have one). If you want to make friends you have to start somewhere.
I go to movies alone every now and then.
When I travel for work I eat, have a drink and generally go out and about alone.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:53 AM
Movies - YES! Love love love going to the flicks by myself.
Dinner, not really.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:58 AM
Movies, yes.
Shopping, I LOVE shopping by myself. I'd rather shop by myself than with anyone.
Drinking and dinner? No, I'd feel like a loner.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:58 AM
I have been to the odd gig alone, if none of my friends are interested - it always lead to new friends and big nights, maybe because it's a bit liberating?

I love going to movies and shows by myself. I also like having breakfast or lunch alone, but not dinner for some reason.
I would never go to a pub or club unless I had arranged to meet someone there. Come to think of it, I have not been out on the town for years.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:05 AM
Things I love doing by myself:
Movies, actually prefer it than with other people. That is what I would do on a random by myself Saturday night.
Coffee, most definitely and do it all the time. I like having a paper though.
Lunch, I dont mind especially with a book or a paper.
Art gallery or museum
Maybe a winebar or civilised bar for a glass of wine but probably only in the afternoon or early evening. I cant imagine being comfortable on a Saturday night.
I love to read so if I do eat on my own I will usually take a book or a newspaper. Ipad would be perfect.

I love shopping by myself too, Essential Bludger.
I think to go out drinking and dancing by yourself is to invite "unwelcome (or maybe not!) interest"
But then I am a super old fuddy duddy like that so flame away

I go shopping by myself (or mostly with DS), that's about it, I don't go to the movies anyway and I don't go out at night.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:13 AM
I went to Woolies by myself on Friday night, does that count? I fecking enjoyed it though - no small child whining about how she was tired, and no spending half and hour trying to locate DH after he wanders off muttering something about milk and toilet paper .
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:22 AM
No I don't go out by myself.
I guess I'm still quite shy and self conscious, so I wouldn't end up talking to strangers if I did, and would feel really awkward.
If I had opportunity I'd probably go for coffee or something by myself now and then, but it would only be to get away from my kids, otherwise I'd just do it at home, I'm more relaxed at home.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:28 AM
Not often but I have, like others while traveling or moving to a new place. You don't meet people if you stay home all day.
Like the spin off OP though if I had a chance to go out alone or not at all, I'd be going out alone for a breather if nothing else!
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:32 AM
Movies, lunch, coffee, shopping. Would do a play/show solo, but prefer not to. Nice to have someone to talk to about those, and at interval.
Occasionally dinner (esp if travelling for work), and maybe would have a drink by myself around 5pm.
Wouldn't want to sit in a bar/pub at night drinking by myself. I've sat down and ordered a drink in a pub while waiting for a friend, and it just led to harassment.
I travelled extensively by myself throughout eastern Europe and some of Asia in my early 20s. I did museums, galleries, lay on the beach in Greece, took train trips, restaurants and the whole works by myself.
I had no shortage of company from fellow travellers, but after a day or two, I was generally pleased to break free to do things at my own pace again. Especially museums and galleries - your pace is rarely in step with another, so you're slowed down or hurried along by them and I can't bear it. A book or newspaper is nice, but not necessary.
Since then I travel with DH, and once in a while I wish it was just me again. You're more open to meeting new people, or trying new things, and there's less compromise when you travel solo. It's harder work, but worth it.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:33 AM
I do most things like shopping, coffee, lunch...by myself, no issues at all. Movies, easily. you're sitting in the dark, not supposed to be talking so brilliant as a solo outing.
Dinner, many times travelling for work.
Wine bar at lunch, afternoon, yes.
To a pub on a saturday night? No. For that kind of outing I prefer company. I wouldn't feel comfortable thinking about my daughters (one is of legal drinking age), doing that without a friend to look out for them either.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:34 AM
Infrequently, but I have been known to settle down in a Toscanis or similar with a book and large bowl of pasta for lunch.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:37 AM
I have eaten out too many nights on my own with work. I learned to do that taking a book, before the kindle. So going out at night by myself to a restaurant or pub for enjoyment is something I just can't imagine wanting to do, it is something I do for work, not for pleasure.
I love my own time, I love to sit on the beach and listen to the waves, I love to sit and read, or cross stitch, I love taking the dog to the park, or even sitting in a cafe having a coffee by myself. It is not that I don't like doing things by myself.
I have met lots of new people over my life, but not by going out to a pub by myself, I meet them through work, through DS, through sports, that sort of thing.
If I go out at night for social stuff it is either with DH, or friends, or both.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:43 AM
Almost exclusively!
But that is due to the fact that I am single, live alone, and have just moved interstate, so my social life is 1200kms away - if I didn't go out alone, I'd never go out. That said, I used to it quite a lot when I lived in Brisbane as well...I'm quite comfortable talking with randoms (which is made easier as there is usually sport of some description on to watch) but have also perfected my "leave me alone" face when I'd just rather sit alone.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:44 AM
No, but its not coz I don't really want to, it just never happens due to DFs shifts. When he is home I'd rather spend the time with him than alone like I do most of the time. I'm over my company, I need others around me

Well that just gave me chills, so..no
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:48 AM
Nope, I never do anything on my own - apart from shopping occasionally.
When I travelled overseas by myself years ago I did all kinds of things on my own and quite enjoyed it. These days we have busy lives and I'd rather do stuff with the people I love than by myself. Though I would love a weekend at home by myself - I am never here on my own EVER!
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:49 AM
All the time, if I didn't I'd probably never go anywhere.
I mentioned in the other thread that I used to go to a salsa club by myself when I lived in the US. It was great as it really was about the dancing. Most people were regulars and just wanted a few drinks and a dance. Once you got known as someone who could dance, then you didn't get to sit down all night. Some of the dancing was a bit raunchy (it is salsa!), but never went further than that. Damn, I really miss that place.
I have no problems going to a restaurant by myself, or sitting in a bar having a drink, or anything else. Sometimes I stay alone, sometimes I get invited to join other groups, which can be good fun in itself. Particularly when I travel, I find there's a certain fascination among people towards "foreigners" and they are generally welcoming. Best night out was in a bar in Blackpool that I wandered in to and they were having an Aussie trivia night. When they found out that I was a "real Australian", I didn't pay for a drink all night. I also love that when I travel alone I can pick up good theatre tickets on the day because you only need one seat.
I'll admit that I don't understand people who can't seem to go anywhere on their own.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:49 AM
No not really. But DH is my best friend and We do almost everything together.
I still get time to myself at home to chill out when I need it.
I had so many years of being single and doing things alone I am over it.

That's a good point. That's one of the reasons I've never done it. Also because, when I do get the rare night off, I prefer to spend it reading or sleeping.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:11 PM
I go away for weekends on my own. I show dogs and my husband hates dog shows, so I book a single motel room and take two dogs with me and I absolutely love it.
Sometimes I meet up with other dog show friends and we stay at the same motel or share a cabin, other times I spend the whole weekend alone. Sometimes I prefer alone......that way I call the shots on dinner, whether I watch TV or read, when I go for a walk, whether I go for a drive and take some photos, or whether I just hang around the motel or caravan park with the dogs and do nothing.
Either way, it's fun and good for the soul.

Press & Social Media Intern, Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)
When you grow up a Long Island kid, it's pretty much understood that you will take swim lessons and you will find a teenage career in aquatics. From the time I was fourteen, my summer revolved around the local pool. The time I spent instructing and guarding helped me build my résumé (and my confidence), introduced me to so many new people in my hometown, and gave me a comfortable amount of money for my first year away at college.
Beginning my first office-based internship with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seemed to signal an end to jobs that primarily involved wearing bathing suits and chatting with pool visitors, but the chlorinated water never really washes out of your blood.
To an agency that operates 40-plus manmade aquatics facilities and oversees miles of shoreline, a press intern applicant who could write and tweet about as well as explain pools to DCR's hockey playing press secretary… well, my guard life may have sealed me this internship!
DCR needs to staff 86 of its waterfront properties for the Summer 2013 season, in order to provide the Commonwealth with the safety and peace of mind all residents deserve in the hottest months of the year. More than 700 professionals will staff coastal beaches, inland beaches, and swimming pools, allowing for a change of scenery, new friends, and a summer under the sun. Want to spend your summer building your personal strength, practical knowledge, and, yes, your bank account?
DCR is conducting lifeguarding tests and hiring lifeguards now through June. If you're interested in building your resume—along with your tan—and think you've got what it takes, don't hesitate: check out DCR's Lifeguarding program website or contact the Office of Aquatic Resources at 251 Causeway Street, Boston, MA 02114 or (617) 626-1224.
Lifeguard applicants must be at least 16 years old at the time of employment and possess current certification in several areas. For details on these requirements visit the website at: http://www.mass.gov/dcr/stewardship/l-guard/index.htm.
For those interested in pool management, lead lifeguard positions, and related aquatics seasonal work, please contact DCR's Boston Aquatic's office at the number above.
Come on in, take a swim, try it out, and you too might find yourself working for DCR this summer!

Two Bassmaster pundits hint at factors that may influence Day 2 of the GEICO Bassmaster Classic.
I didn't catch the big fish I wanted today on Lake Guntersville but I have to tell you that it was wonderful nonetheless.
Want to attend the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by Diet Mountain Dew and GoPro? Here's everything you need to know about coming to see the big show.
As you read this, I'm on Lake Guntersville trying to stuff my livewell with big bass with hopes of making a run at my fifth Bassmaster Classic title.
What lure type will win the 2014 GEICO Classic? It's anybody's guess, but here's what the competitor's think.
If you could win a lot of money by correctly predicting the winning weight of the Classic , what would your bet be?
Survey says: Elites agree the lipless crankbait will be a popular choice at the 44th Classic.
The fuses could be lit Friday for the biggest show in Classic history.
You can keep up online with the Classic in a way that will make you feel like you've got a front-row seat.
This week is sorta like a movie. Except it's real. Right here on the lake where I first started dreaming of a career as a tournament bass angler - Lake Guntersville.

Phoenix Suns
The Pulse: Suns should bring Channing Frye back only if it's at the right price
Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
On Tuesday, we asked you if the Phoenix Suns should bring back forward Channing Frye, who opted out of his contract on Monday.
More than 500 votes were submitted, and the results show that fans want Frye back -- but only at the right price point.
Exactly half of the 509 voters selected the option "sure, but for the right price," while 27 percent voted for "only if he comes back at a bargain." A mere 4 percent said Frye is too valuable for the Suns to lose, while 20 percent said it's time to move on altogether.
Frye scored 11.1 points per game to go along with 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists during last season, his first since missing an entire season with heart issues. Frye has played four seasons with the Suns -- half of his eight-year career.

How to Make Lighter Pancakes
Two Parts:Preparing the batter for lightnessCooking the pancakes
It is possible to produce lighter pancakes using the following process. Note that the solution to this process differs slightly, depending on whether you're making the thin, flat pancakes, such as Irish pancakes or crepe-style pancakes or the fluffier, fatter pancakes more commonly known in North America. Both approaches are addressed in this article.
Part 1 of 2: Preparing the batter for lightness
1Make the pancake batter. Follow the instructions for making the batter according to your favorite recipe. There are lots of choices for pancake recipes available here.Ad
2Decide on which "making lighter" solution will work for your pancake batter. This will depend on the type of pancake you're making:
- For the fluffy, fatter pancake style: Make a quick introduction of air to the pancakes by whisking really well.
- For the batter of thinner, crepe-like pancakes, try this: If you have more time, set the batter aside for a half hour to an hour prior to cooking. This extra time allows the starch in the flour to soften or break down considerably, leaving a much lighter batter.
Part 2 of 2: Cooking the pancakes
1Get a little piece of butter, it can be salted or unsalted. After you put the butter in the pan, add the pancake batter in suitable amounts.
2When flipping, don't push down on the pancakes. While it may feel right to push down after you flip to help it cook, it won't help the lightness or faster cooking. It'll just deflate the pancakes and reduce their airiness.
3Finish cooking your pancake according to the time normally required. Remove from the heat and serve immediately with the usual range of toppings.Ad
We could really use your help!
rate articles?
beer batter?
- The flour type can have an impact on whether or not the pancakes will become lighter. If it's something you really want form your pancakes, you may need to experiment with different batters.
- Pancakes can be kept warm stacked on a plate in a moderate oven if they aren't ready to be served immediately.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Try making the batter the night before and letting it chill in the refrigerator. This can help it to work more efficiently when cooking.
Things You'll Need

This is Qnap desktop that I use several times a day to transfer files on my home network. Since Chrome zooms in so much, I'm forced to go into portrait mode so I can see more info on screen when I'm in the Qnap File Manager. The Stock browser seems to work much better. It's just a minor annoyance, but I wanted to see if anyone would know of a Chrome tweak to force it to zoom out a little.

A few minutes with...Edward Adams
Meet the virtual Wizard of Oz behind the federal Web site that displays nearly every exhibit from the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui. Edward Adams, the public information officer for the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., posted copies of 1,202 pieces of evidence. Seven exhibits remain under seal. The site's launch on July 31 marked the first time a federal court has made so many exhibits from a criminal case available online.
It helped that Adams had a background in online publishing.
Before joining the court in June 2002, he was an online editor for American Lawyer Media in New York City. Federal Computer Week recently spoke to him about the mammoth feat.
What prompted you to embark on this endeavor?
Adams: We got a large number of requests from members of the media for access to the exhibits. We felt that the most efficient way to provide that access was simply to put the exhibits online.
How many people did it take to post all the exhibits online?
Adams: The staff it took to digitize and upload the materials was one person: me. It took three months to get it done.
What challenges did you face in digitizing the material?
Adams: There were a total of 1,202 exhibits, including thousands of pieces of paper. First, I had to take the paper documents and scan them. Some of them were too large or too small to scan…or they weren't legible when scanned. For those documents, I had to create a Web page that displayed an image of each page of that exhibit in sequence. Finally, I had to convert the video exhibits into a format that could be viewed on a computer and compress those files so they could be more easily downloaded.
What issues did you confront in placing such sensitive material on a public Web site?
Adams: There were no legal issues. These are public documents. These are the same documents that you could see if you came to the courthouse. All that we are doing that is new is we are providing the public and the media access to them online.
Some of the evidence in this case involves images or sounds that some people might find offensive. They are in large part images, video and audio recordings that were taken from the 2001 terrorist attacks and the immediate aftermath. Those items are designated with the warning "Viewer discretion is advised" or "Listener discretion is advised."
Why haven't other federal courts provided online access to exhibits from criminal cases?
Adams: You would have to ask them. I would expect that they would say it takes a large amount of human resources to get this done. And they would be right. But in a case that attracted international attention and that was seen by some as a test of whether a member of al Qaeda could receive a fair and public trial in the federal courts, I believe providing this kind of worldwide access to the exhibits sends an appropriate message.

"I had dinner with him about a month ago. We spent the evening together and we talked about it. I know he's proceeding and I have no doubt that Avatar 2 is going to be great and every bit as jaw-dropping and exciting as Avatar was. As to my own relationship to it, I can't really say anything about that, at all, other than I'm just proud to be on the team. Whether I appear in Avatar 2 or Avatar 3, I always feel I'm a part of the Avatar team. I know that's a non-answer, but that's it."
Stephen Lang is also starring in the highly-anticipated Fox series Terra Nova, which will premiere this fall. Here's what he had to say about the daunting challenge this show presents, which starts shooting in May.
"Well, let's see. We finished the first two and we're heading back to Australia to shoot the next 11. We're really at the start of a grand adventure. The first two went very, very well. We've established a benchmark, we've established a way of working, a rapport, with the characters to the environment. Now we've just got to get down to the hard work of making these stories as exciting and as dramatic and as thrilling as we possibly can. I think it's no small feat to try to do an hour-long series that's as effects-ladened as this is, which takes place in an alien world, and keep it real. That's what we're doing and it's real exciting. I like it because it's a big roll of the dice, you know. There's a lot to be gained. It could be a very, very important series, but, on the same token, when you aim big, the drop is all that more steep. I wouldn't have it any other way. We are heading back in May. Just take a real deep breath and submerge for about six months or so."
