Would you ever go to the cinema/ theatre on your own?

True MissAdventure I will definitely give it a go. ( plus the cinema is dark )
I’m just so used to going places in a couple or a group.

I think the cinema is probably a good starting point for doing things alone.
The one here has people wandering around the lobby, making enquiries, looking at posters for films, queueing for food etc, so you wouldn't even know if someone is part of a group or on their own.

Definitely cafe, do it all the time, with crossword.
Would also do theatre and cinema if the occasion arose,

Yes I’ve done both. I love going to the theatre and especially a weekday matinee. My DH isn’t a big fan so I bit the bullet and went alone. Nobody batted an eyelid and now I prefer it as I can sit where I want. If I go with a friend my seat always seems to behind that tall person restricting my view.

Oh gosh sorry, I’m not actually on here much so miss lots.
I should get over my ridiculous fear & just go to places on my own as there’s so much I’d like to do but husband isn’t interested or friends busy.

I prefer to go with a pal but if it was a toss up between missing something I wanted to see or go on my own, I'd go on my own. Ditto for being hungry when I'm out and about.

There was another thread about this recently, and a lot of people do go alone, including myself. Since being widowed I have noticed many people are alone, it is not unusual.

Pre covid I often used to go to the cinema on my own. The only thing I’d miss was having someone to discuss the film with afterwards but, with the internet there are always people to chat to about films. Felt less comfortable going to the theatre alone but I only ever did that to go to the ballet. We’ve got a lockdown dog now that hasn’t been left on her own since she was a puppy so when I do start doing normal things again I think I’ll be going to the cinema on my own again.

Yes I have just been in a cafe on my own it was lovely. I was in a pub on my own on Wednesday as was everyone else in the pub (it was afternoon and relatively quiet). I dont understand how people fill time between things if you dont do that. I had been at work and was killing time at the pub till I had to pick up my son.

Yes, I’ve gone to the cinema alone many times over the past 7 years. I have a cineworld annual pass which I originally bought to incentivise myself to go when DS went to Uni, OH worked abroad so I was at home on my own.
I sometime go to the local pub on my own for tea, & will happily sit in a cafe on my own, but I do take my kindle!
It’s surprising how many people go to places on their own - you’d honestly be surprised!
