Most of that stuff I dont do at all.

The nice meal I will do alone. I can enjoy it more if I dont have to make idle chit-chat.

I voted no on the "nice restaurant" because I generally am satisfied with the cheaper stuff. It's different with company, though.

Movie theater? Yes, have already.

Fast food and eat there? Yes, but not often. Maybe once every other year. I only go to fast food places maybe once every 3 months anyway.

Decent meal type restaurant? No, I have no desire to go to such places unless otherwise coerced.

Nice restaurant? See previous.

Drink alone? At home, yes, but never anything with alcohol. Don't like the taste, nor do I desire to experience the intoxication effects.

Get drunk? No, see previous.

Live performance? I went to one, with my sister. (Weird Al Yankovic concert, we're both fans.) It was amusing, but expensive and godawful loud, and there was a crowd there. Minimal desire to go to another one.

Vacation alone? Maybe. I've never really had the money to afford it, and I just prefer to stay at home. Going on vacation seems like too much work and expense to try to have fun. It seems a bit counter-productive.

Enter that into your poll and smoke it.

The only one of these I have a problem with is eating in a nice restaurant, although going on a vacation alone doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

I need to address these two points, because you're either being facetious (which it doesn't seem like from the rest of your post), or you posted without considering your reply (which is rude).

As for your first point: you drink alone... but never anything with alcohol... What do you think the OP meant by drink alone? Do you think he just meant any beverage? Every single human being on Earth drinks alone by that standard. It would suck if you couldn't; "Shit, I'm thirsty, but there's no one around... I can't drink this water by myself!" People would be dying of thirst left and right because they were waiting for someone to show up so they could drink. It would be insanity.

You went to a live show alone with your sister? That's amazing! Does she only exist in your head? Because if she's a real person, most people would say that by virtue of her accompanying you, you weren't alone.

movies, concert, vacation, yes.

eating in a restaurant? not if I have a choice... if I'm on vacation or away on business, I'll usually ask the wait staff if they can just give me something to-go so I can take it back to the hotel.
