What's the big deal? Really now!

A friend and I went and saw IronMan 2 today, had a good time, except for his continual whining about it being nice to have someone to go see the movie with. Oh, and his daughters don't count. He seems to think people are looking at him, when he's by himself.

Geez, I wish I'd just gone ahead and seen it on my own. It really kills what could just be a fun time.

I grocery shop, run errands, do things, on my own. I haven't shriveled up and died yet.

I do everything by myself and have for years. Kids will come occaisionally but prefer to stay home much of the time. When would I really like company? When I'm drinking coffee in bed in the morning.

I go to the matinee once a week. I love it BECAUSE I am alone. Hardly anyone is in the theatre on a Thursday afternoon and no one is bogging me down with their drama and other crap.

Enjoy your alone time!

always alone, no problem

Been doing things alone for the past three years. Dont mind it that much. Sure at times I get a little lonely. And when I do I just talk to my imaginary friend. But, problem is. He complains too much. EEEEERRRRR

it IS nice to go see the movies with someone else.

i can sit here and write, over and over, how much fun it is doing stuff alone (which it is) but it's also great to have a special someone to do things with as well.

it's been a long time since i got to cuddle with a guy in a dark theatre and have his arm behind my back stroking my shoulder.

I will admit it is nice to have someone to go places with and do things.........But..........just because I'm alone does not stop me from going and doing things alone either. I go out to eat, movies ect alone heck I can always find others to talk to. And believe me before I went with someone that sit and complained all the time I would rather be alone..........

A person's attitude can change. I remember when I was first divorced. There was like all this new freedom. Nobody to answer to. It was like when I first left home. Then reality set in. Wow; This new freedom comes with a catch. Like who am I going to share all this new freedom with? Before the marriage it was okay to be alone. It was like I got spoiled. Found out the catch was a Catch-22. Then it was like maybe I should date. Hmm, what a weird idea; I never dated before the marriage. Geez, dating is only scary idea. Then I was ready to try dating. Then it was like okay I am ready; What's her problem? I call it now, "I am already ready already." But after a while it was like what's the big fuss? Do I really need someone to hold my hand to do everything? Yup. I think it comes in cycles.

I threw myself a surprise birthday party, set myself up with a blind date, (she really was blind. How else would I get her to date me? )and last Christmas, I cheated and tore open the corner of the wrapping paper to see what gift I had gotten myself.
