Going It Alone
August 15, 2006
As of late I’ve wanted to get out and do more things, like check out a play, hit the occasional jazz spot downtown, check out a comedy show and so on and so forth, but that hasn’t always been an achievable goal especially when you don’t want to roll alone.
You see, most of my friends have a kid(s) or are married. So they can’t do the spur of the moment plans or even with a week notice plan. So because I don’t like going out alone I am stuck. I’ve always been told that women should go out alone. I’ve been told that her chances of being taken advantage of are greater than if she was with a crew. On the flip side a woman’s chances of meeting a guy drastically drop if she is with a crew, something about the laws of averages and the approaching guy choosing the wrong woman so the whole crew is off guards then.
Well despite that little fact I am still thinking about venturing out alone. Not to seem like easy prey but maybe to the occasional play or comedy show. At the salon where I go this very topic came up and I found quite a few women went our by themselves. My first adventure will be this new sports bar around the corner from my house. Now I need to pick a day…
Go for it! If there is something you want to do you shouldnt let someone else’s schedule or unwillingless to tag along stop you from doing it.

I feel ya! So many people just don’t do anything alone. But you gotta live your life like’s golden. Have fun and tell me all about it! I just read this quote, “The time you spend with yourself is just as valuable as the time you spend with others.”

I had the same problem about a year or so ago. Most of my friends were either married, in a relationship, or had a kid. They were all down to do stuff, but then at the last minute relationship or parental duties got in the way. I couldn’t get mad at them, but at the same time I realized that I was missing out on things because I wasn’t really interested in going alone. Now, I enjoy my time with myself. Whether its the park, the movies, or weekend trips to Philadelphia, I have fun by myself. Hopefully you will too.
