I love to shop around all by myself. In buying clothes, in eating to restaurants, in watching movies, I like to do it alone because I don't feel comfortable in asking favors. I feel I have different taste from other people around me. I like to watch action movies and while most of my friends and relatives likes drama... So basically I like to have a total satisfaction whenever I can stroll around alone without so much hassles. But if the situation requires me to adjust, I can also be flexible.

Yes, I also prefer to shop alone, because it is more fun, and I can be more effective. Also, if I go with other people, I am usually forced into going into a bunch of stores I don't want to go to, which is really annoying!

I enjoy being able to shop alone. That is one reason i like online shopping. If I shop with someone, I may not buy what I want to buy. I end up pleasing someone else's tastes and follow their time schedules. I get more enjoyment from shopping when I do it amy own pace. I don't mind a shopping companion, but it is not necessary to my shopping world.

Well, it sounds like you and I are completely different. I don't like shopping alone, or eating out alone, or doing anything on my own. I believe that things are much better when you have someone with you to share. Though I do things on my own, I'd much prefer to do it with friends or family.
Travelling is one thing that I like to do on my own, and ironically, I can't do that anymore because of my two kids now.

i would definitely agree to both of you, yes shopping or going out alone makes your escapade a little much faster and non hassle because you get to do everything you want to do with out anyone bugging you around, but its not that fun compared to enjoying your fun with someone, especially with your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend.. like in my case i really dont like eating alone, going out on my own. I would love to be with my husband when i want to go shopping or eating out. If you have a partner in life your partner might feel sad if you dont go with him/her. Cause if my husband go alone,i really feel sad and angry. But if you are single, well you dont have no choice but go alone..

I went to shopping once with a friend and I am buying Burberry for men or Gap blue which are for men. She keeps on saying things that I am not really asking. I specially do not like people giving their unsolicited advises when I am not asking for it! I love men scents on me since men's perfume does NOT smell masculine on me, thus since Iam a girl, I give off a different smell. Unlike when I put on a women's perfume.. I smell just like any other girls! Then she went blabbing " why are you buying men's perfume, you should be buying women's scents etc etc!" ugh! and companions sometimes TALK TOO MUCH!

It is sometimes different for clothes because I could not rely on my own opinion. Many times I have tried on clothes I thought I looked good in but didn't get the approval of my companion. Sometimes it is the other way around. Two heads are better than one, so to speak.
With the rest, I can manage on my own.

I also love shopping alone because whenever I do that with friends, I always ended up buying what they want for me. Also, I find shopping with someone is time consuming.

Shopping alone is not only a pleasure thing but also a stress buster for me. I dislike to go shopping with anybody especially with those whom I have ambivalent in tastes. I dread the fact that people force me to choose something I least liked just because they liked it.

When it comes to shopping, I am really irriated when someone is with me. I love to sop alone. I don't like it when someone is discussing stuff with the shopkeeper. It irritates me. But then being with someone when you are shopping is a good thing. Like yesterday, I got my pocket money stolen when I was in the market. Chances of happening this would be less if I was with someone and I wasn't shopping alone.

It really depends...sometimes when I'm really like out on a mission and I know the things I need and where to get them specifically, I would rather be alone so I won't get delayed by the dilly-dallying of my companions. However on days when I just have all the time in the world and I just so happen to have money, I like shopping with my mom or my galpals...I like getting their opinion on clothes and other items.:)

am not comfortable to shopping alone.its kinda boring for me specially when i need suggestion with something. I like fashion so much specially in picking what dress to wear or make up or sometimes if I want to make it simpler suggestions is always on the go for me but if I were in a hurry or need catching up to do. I prefer to be alone when I need to do something very important.

I would look around alone first to look for the clothes i like and do all the fitting.after which i would ask my girlfriend to have a second eye on the items.

I like shopping alone too! I shop like a guy, I go STRAIGHT where Iam supposed to be heading! I dont go shop to shop just like any other female.My mom and sister are the typical females who takes 3-5 hours shopping for a single ITEM. I take 5 minutes on mine! I hate shopping around looking for a single thing when I already know where I can get those. Its a waste of time for me!

I don't wan't to be alone, because whenever I am alone I feel so sad. So when it comes to shopping, eating in a restaurant, watching movies I want to be with my family. I used to go shopping with my siblings when I was in college, but now I go out with my kids. Sometimes we still do the same thing with my siblings and their kids too.

I also like to shop alone when buying stuff for my self, its good because what you will be buying is really of your choice. It's really a hassle asking others opinion, when in fact its you who will used it. But eating in restaurants alone...oohhh no, i have to bring my husband with me, its so lonely eating alone specially me a slow eater, i have somebody to talk while eating.
