Well its another Saturday night! and i guess another night in!!! Why is it, that a man can get away with walking into a pub or club on his own? But a women who walks into these venues are instantly labelled as Cheap, Desperate, and looking for a quick ****???? This is so unfair! Most of my friends are married or have partners and i have very few single friends to go out with, so what are my options here??? Stay in alone AGAIN!!! or risk being labelled??? Crying or Very sad

dont stay in onm your own, go out any have a drink or even catch up on a movie. seriously why worry what other peoples perseptions will be.
I often go out on my own as all my friends are also single mothers.
speaking of which im off to bingo tonight on my own. ha ha i am 24 really i promise. Yeah i know a woman going to bigno on her own is not the same as going to a pub but hell give it a go you have nothing to loose, apart from missing the rubbish that is on telly tonight.

I quite often go out on my own.

I often find other girls coming up to me asking why, and do I want to join her and her friends & so on.

But sometimes I like going out alone, Just to think.

Sometimes u have a better chance of pulling or meeting new ppl if u are out alone. Some 'mates' u go out with tend to repell the opposite sex lol

I have been out alone on several occaisions. I have been approached by several men who, surprisingly never came across as being sleazy, but very gentlemanly and charming. . .

Why expend a lot of effort and money chasing a "socially acceptable" objective, when you can focus on the things that really make you happy?

Ask yourself what is your true objective on Saturday night, and forget about what other people are doing in pubs and clubs. Then when you know what your true objective is, ask yourself what is the best way of achieving that objective. If you can see no way of achieving the objective, distract yourself with something else you also enjoy.

Being dependent on social interaction makes people unattractive. Equally being socially withdrawn is unattractive. The balance lies is not feeling excluded when you cannot join in the fun that everyone else appears to be having. Make your own fun!

I sometimes find myself in this position so one night I logged on to chat and asked did anyone wanna meet in town for a drink and within 2 hours I was in town and met my drinkin buddy.
We have met up a few times since and chat on msn but I didn't fancy him so we are just friends and I know I can call on him anytime I'm in need of a night out Smile

I've been to the pub a few times on my own and actually found it ok.

The first couple of times I went to a fairly quiet'ish pub and took a book and enjoyed a few glasses of wine.

I wouldnt think twice about doing it now. Very Happy

I'd feel a bit awkward in a pub by myself, unless there was some entertainment on. Stood there with a pint on my lonesome would be a little boring and if you did it every week people will start to label you “strange”.

You could of course go steam rolling into another group of pub folk looking for friends, but again they’d likely reject you because peeps tend to keep to there own in pubs.

Clubs are a different matter, as loads of people just wander off solo like bloodhounds following a scent!

So if I had to do it alone, I’d drink at home then go clubbing!
