Yeah I guess the only thing I go out alone is working out.
Call me a woman, but I absolutely can't stand shopping alone. I need someone to talk to and decide with me on buying stuff.
Lately I even need to find my workmates to leave work with me. We take bus and can just chat away on our way home.

Who's going to stop and point at you that you're alone? No one cares, sometimes I like being alone, gives myself space.

Every time I go outside I always see people, they're everywhere like a bad infestation of cockroaches, so I'm never alone.

What about eating alone in a restaurant but in front of the laptop?

Ugh, I hate eating alone at restaurants. I get food regularly from my local pizza place, but it's always take-out. The guys there know me too. But since there are only a few tables, if I go get lunch there during the week, I have to sit with some guys who don't speak my language and it's very awkward (usually greeks and italians).

Shopping by myself is fine; I can take time to look for what I want and go where I want.

Only when I'm busy at work. Otherwise I'd feel like a pathetic loser eating out alone..so I eat and get drunk alone at home.

I CANT shop with someone else, to much tension when I sit an linger over purchase for 15minutes.

But I did eat alone once, at O'hare.

shopping at grocery store = no preference (can shop by myself or with someone else)

shopping for clothing = i'm not sure why but guys i was in relationships with or even dating wanted to go shopping with me. *shrug*. prefer going solo, that way i can pick out what i think looks cute/good, and i won't feel pressured (i.e. time constraints or wondering if the other person is bored, hungry, wants to leave, etc)

fast food = no preference, but yay for drive-thru :D; have eaten by myself inside restaurant b4

sit-down restaurant = i've only eaten all by my lonesome maybe once or twice...so i guess my true preference would be to go with someone else

movies = no preference; growing up, i always went with a best friend (sneaking in food is awesome, LOL) or in a group (my friends used to come over my parents' house for major holidays, then my brother & his friends, me & my peeps would head out to the movies after eating); although i've only gone by myself only a handful of times so far...i could see myself going to more movies alone
