If I get left alone (or go to the pub alone) I always make sure I have either a newspaper or my phone to play with.
Once you've been sitting there for hours tho then usually the staff start to watch you! Perhaps I just drink to much

I never have any problem with going out on my own in fact girls smile and I feel at ease to chat with them, I go solo out five nights weekly dancing at my clubs they all know me some time I take female dancing partners, I think if you feel a chip on your shoulder people will sense it if you care free they will see that and relate to you as well, I love going to cinema and theatres on my own, many times I had trouble with lovers as they feel jealous me being flirting about, so my rule never flirt in front of my lover only if I want them to feel jealous or smash something on my head lol, only I flirt if I go out with companion or friend.

I have no problem finding people to talk to in pubs.

I was waiting for my sister and friends on monday afternoon, and a group of people invited me to sit and talk to them. I thought that was pretty nice.

i have no problem being on my own in a pub/club, but im really bad at going up to ppl and starting convo's with them, if they start chatting to me im fine, but so bad at chatting to strangers!!

i agree with you there..i am definately a person who waits to be approached first, but funny enough, only in pubs/clubs. If was out during the day, i would feel so much more at ease and could approach someone much easier..
Basically, when in the situation where its expected of people to 'pull' each other, then i am very reserved..but that may come from not going out in eves much i suppose..i am unsure as its all new..
blimey..i am doing self therapy on myself now..lol

Think this has come about from not ever going out and doing the dating thing when young, then entering a long term relationship (13yrs)...

blimey..24 ok i will stop whinging..lol

half my life and for what??? its a dam nightmare trying to move on and be brave enough to deal with the outside world

Why do you care what other people think when you walk into a bar? You are either going for a quiet beer. Waiting for a mate or on the prowl. What's the problem.
Ultimately, you are always on your own.
