Q #77
Do you feel ill at ease going alone to either dinner or a movie? What about going on a vacation by yourself?

In all the years of my life that I used to dine alone and go on vacation alone before I met PATR, I never felt uneasy but I did wish that I had someone to share the experiences with. I now have more than that with PATR and my life is richer for it.
If it's a great movie - no sweat. I eat alone all the time anyway - no problem. A vacation hmmmm - rather be w someone.
I don't mind dining out nor seeing movies alone .... and I have gone on vacations by myself ... mostly whne I was doing some soul searching ...
However ... I prefer to share these things with someone ....
Thank goodness Tom came along!!
I was single for many years - so I dined alone and went to movies alone all the time. I did go to Jamaica once by myself, and it woluds have been much better with someone - now I have Cindy to share all these things with, and it is MUCH BETTER.
I do not like eating alone outside of my house these days. So much in fact that I started a Saturday morning breakfast club. I do not like going to the movies by myself at all.
I will however go on vacation by myself, or with somebody. However to date I've yet to go on vacation with a woman that has the zest that I possess for the open road, camping, hiking, etc.
Wow! I realized I've never done any of these...with exception to dining alone in my house! I think I could handle a movie alone if I had to but I think dining alone and vacationing alone would make me very uncomfortable. I have gone on vacations where everyone else did something while I enjoyed some solitary time but then we all got together again. I guess I enjoy being with people and my family too much to be alone. I'm alone all day as it is and look forward to being with others and doing stuff (even if it's just hanging out and talking). I enjoy the company of others.
Oh, I don't mind doing things alone. But I much prefer to share them. I have tried vacationing alone a few times and had fun. San Francisco, Monterrey and Nappa CA were wonderful places to see by my self and I phoned home daily to share those experiences with my mother, so I was never really alone.
