    There's a bar I go to after work a couple times during the week by myself.
    After a while, you start to get to know the other 'regulars' and join in on conversations with them!
    Sometimes the bartenders will start chatting it up too.
    It might be awkward at first but you get used to it!
    AND they learn your order quick so you get a beer brought to you as soon as you come in!

    This is incredibly true! I don't even have to say anything, as soon as I come in, I have a drink ready for me :D

    Walked into a bar alone, but only if I'm meeting someone in there.

    It prob sounds silly, but going for a coffee on my own is a bit of a treat, sitiing readin and maybe having a piece of cake.

    Pee Wee Herman used to say that too.

    :lol:

    i have gone to movies alone
    dinner alone (just have something to read)
    bars alone

    if you want to do something, not having someone to do it with should not matter

    just ask that priest with the potato up his ass
    or the dude with the shampoo bottle
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    not recently, but done that for a long while, and it doesn't mean I found someone... sometimes I go to spend time before doing something else, sometimes I go because I have no choice, sometimes I feel like going... I enjoy my being alone, but not always... and of course the mind always rambles... I see your point, I completely understand...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    Ever go to the bar alone, and sit at at the bar with all the old men that have no one to go home to?

    I'm Sitting here, and yes, feel very pathetic.

    Anyone else ever go it alone at the bar?


    Being female... I'm too scared. :)

    But somehow I can picture you sitting there with pen in hand. ;)

    One can meet some very interesting people when going solo at the bar. Like someone else said, I think it depends on the location, and the day and time. Some of the best times I have had have been going solo somewhere.

    I love doing this from time to time.... Its interesting who you meet sometimes!
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    Before my buddy and I saw Aaron Lewis, we pregamed at a bar called Rembrandt's and the bartender was cute. She was a dyke but a cute one and had 18 tats.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    I've gone to a bar by myself. Its actually quite relaxing. Have my beer or glass of wine and play Words With Friends. I love going to movies alone too. Why go with someone if you can't talk with them? Unless you go to dinner/drinks before or after.

    I figured out why I have/had a problem with flying solo at the bar.

    My dad owned a bar most of my life, and i just remember the same people Sitting at his bar every night. They had no place else to go. I remember feeling sorry for them even when I was young. Thy Sat there and drank their lives away. I guess I just associate it with that, and i guess it just makes me sad because, everyone should have some place to go, and someone to go to.
    Peace, Love.

    I was a bartender back in the day, so I can't totally relate to this... I felt sad for some of them too.

    Hmmm I wonder if they feel bad for me when I do it :?
