Speaking of (sort of), I grabbed a top shelf Long Island from the bar in AMC Barrywoods before we went in. $13, lol. It was pretty strong, at least, but I'll never do that again.

I LOVE the theaters that serve alcohol. Its a little overpriced but the concept is great and it keeps the kids out of the picture.

I saw Hunger Games alone. True story. Just me and a Mexican family of 7 in the theater. I had a blast.

I thought it would feel strange the first time I did, but it turned out to be no big deal.

If I'm not on a date I almost always go to the movies alone. I prefer it that way.

Now I think comedies are different..I think a lot of the humor and laughter comes from the atmosphere and sharing the laughs with someone else and others in the theatre.

But if it's not a comedy...I will go alone.

This is true. I've been to movies where I thought it was hilarious, then go home to watch it and barely laugh.

I enjoy watching comedies alone. I'm one of those people that are typically difficult to crack up, and it annoys me when a crowd is laughing and I miss even a small bit of the movie.

Alone. With others. It's a movie, not a couples dance. It doesn't matter.

Did this last night for GOTG. I got my special seat in the top center, and enjoyed it without dealing with incessant chatter.

I feel weird eating alone at anything that's a sit down restaurant. Fast food places no problem, I'll go in and sit. If your at a sit-down restaurant and eating alone, I feel bad for that person. I don't know why though, I had a friend that did it all the time who was normal. It's just weird though.

Going to the movies solo is no big deal. Going to a restaurant, I wont go unless I sit at the bar where I can always make friends. I don't get the whole dinner and a movie thing. Why would you take a date to a movie? You can't talk, after dinner and its clicking. The last place I want to go is to a movie.

Yeah, a good date is an exotic trip where you can talk on the plane for a few hours first. It's a good first date as well. Then you don't have to waste time dating for months because when you live and travel with someone for a short time and tells you a LOT!

I don't know what sort of men you're dating, but there is NO ****ING WAY I'd drop that kind of cash on a first date. There isn't a woman or man on earth worth that much investment to "get to know". Maybe I'm too young - is this something desperate old men actually do?

Incidentally, I've decided to hit up an IMAX 3D showing of GotG later this morning. Seems like it'll be a nice segue into grocery shopping and lunch.

I just got back from a solo trip to the movies. Honestly, it's not a great social activity, to sit side-by-side in the dark and stare straight forward without talking. If I really want to see the movie, I go alone.
