Going to pubs on your own
Posted: November 30th, 2014, 3:04 pm
hI all, was just wondering what your experiences are of doing this?
I went out alone last night mainly because a) Not having anyone to go out with, because my friends all just want to stay-in, keep to themselves, some settled-down, or just being flaky and unreliable, and b) I was NOT in the mood for staying-in and was fed-up of being shut in the house in the evenings, or being cooped-up in front of the tv round friends places. The stark choice of be cooped-in, or go out alone.
The experience wasn't too bad, did get talking to the odd person who was on their own themselves. I've been to pubs on my own before and got talking to random people when I went to Amsterdam earlier in the year, so I thought why not give it a go locally?
I must say, compared to going out alone in Amsterdam, there were fewer people that seemed approachable and open to being approached plus, there was almost no-one else alone except the odd old man. Most were in large groups among themselves that looked pretty exclusive and unapproachable.
Nothing much happened apart from the exchange of a few words between one person. Most the night I just sat at the bar looking at the footy pretending to be waiting for friends.
In Amsterdam, I got talking to these two random people, got on well, and they invited me to join them the following night. I did, along with a group of people including Spanish and British girls who they knew. That would NEVER happen in Weymouth.
So yeah, locally it's fair to say that; going out alone=staying alone. When people say that 'lonelienss is a choice' they're forgetting, to what DEGREE is that so?
What are your experiences of going to bars and pubs on your own? Have any of you guys been in the situation where you've gone out alone because you've got no-one to go out with yet really are not in the mood for staying-in? What are your experiences with going out alone? What about some of you guys in the Phillipines?
Have any of you guys hadgood experiences doing this, any of you guys had bad experiences? Share
