Movies Alone? email this discussion to a friend?

Do you or have you ever been to a movie alone? Especially if you're married or with a significan other? My wife works 6 days a week and seldom likes doing things on Sundays her day off other than yard and house work. So I find myself going to movies ever so often just to rid myself of the boredom etc. But now that dad lives with me it's harder to do this. I haven't been to one alone for a few years at least.

hello grandpa bob Hope to find you in lovely spirits today! I've never gone to the movies alone, but I would. I'm not afraid to go out by myself. I used to go out to eat by myself a lot and thats something a lot of people wont do. I will also go shopping or what not. I guess I'm comfortrable by myself. I dont need someone with me all the time.
Have a nice day!

Thanks. But nope, I am not in a good mood realloy today. Anyhow I still go out to eat alone and even for just a cup of coffee. But with dad getting to where I fear him falling if I am not here it's hard to do anything actually.

I never used to be scared of going out alone, but now I am. I have to have someone with me.. I get so anxious it isn't funny. I've changed so much in 20 years.. I don't hardly know myself anymore. lol

Hi grandpa. I don't remember going to cinema house to watch the movies alone and I don't plan to go to cinema alone. I watched movie with my hubby and kids, sometimes with my female officemates. Its been several months since the last time I went to cinema.
However, I sometimes eat alone in eateries or restaurant especially when I go out from office late. I also want shopping alone, coz its easier for me to choose what I want to buy when I am alone than when I am with company.

I don't go alone now, just because I am so easy to get lost anymore... but when I was younger and could handle the traffic I would go to the cinema alone and have a good time there.. and it was within the mall, so afterward I would go shopping or just window shop.. but not now. I can't hardly turn around twice without getting lost. I think I have a touch of Alzheimer's... just kidding. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. webeishere (9018)   ranked 84 out of 24,741 in life  3 months ago

I think Monday I am going to go see a movie by myself while dads asleep. Have a hot dog. A pop. A large popcorn. Some nachos and cheese. A box of junior mints. Some milk duds. then a years membership at a health club.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

So, Grandpa Bob you are going to make it a $50 movie day huh? lol

OreoCookie, I love it when the theater is in the mall. It is like a 2 for 1 deal.

I have only ever gone to the movies alone once. It was about a year ago. I was out and killing time before I needed to get home to the kids. It was nice and peaceful.


myLot reputation of 98/100. webeishere (9018)   ranked 84 out of 24,741 in life  3 months ago

It'll be a costly excursion for me.
If I eat that much that is.

Years ago I realized I had never been to a movie alone. Well, I thought I should remedy this, so the next time a movie came out that looked good, I went alone. It was in the evening I think. I have no recollection of the movie name, but it was about seven years ago. So I crossed that off my 'to do' list, and I haven't done it again since.: )


myLot reputation of 98/100. webeishere (9018)   ranked 84 out of 24,741 in life  3 months ago

Well I have decided that Monday or Tuesday
I am going to see "What Happens In Vegas".
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I always go to the movies alone... i like it that way since i can concentrate on what i am watching... my husband doesn't like the movies that i like... so i gave up asking him to come with me...

Watching movies alone is like a break for me from a tiring week of working and taking care of my baby... i do it every other week...

Hello Grandpa Bob

I have been to plenty of movies all by my lonesome. I like to go in the middle of the day when no one else is there so that I can really enjoy the film.

The only time I went to a movie alone, was about 31 years ago, my husband was in the hospital, and I just went to the one movie by myself, but I did not like it, it was very boring. I never did it again.

I haven't ever been to the movies by myself, married or single. I don't really like going places like that by myself. I don't know why, I just don't.

This is one of the odd things I do not like to do alone. I can go out to eat by myself, shop by myself, and many other things, but not movies.

I have always felt like movies are something people do together. It's a friends thing, a couples thing, etc. I'm very self concious about it and wonder if people are wondering why I'm alone. I know that's dumb, as I never care in any other situation and actually prefer to be alone to do most anything else.

Thanks for the BR, Grandpa Bob! happy
