I don't have any friends where I live. DH isn't that bothered and has disappeared off to his friend's for the evening, but I really want to see Jurassic World. AIBW (am I being weird) to go on my own tonight with a bag of sweets?

Why would it be unreasonable? I occasionally go on my own. Dh often goes on his own.

??? I go to the cinema on my own all the time. It's one of life's great pleasures, in my opinion.

Yanbu - ive never seen why going to the cinema Is considered a 'team sport' for want of a better phrase.
When I see my friends, I want to talk to them. Can't do that at then flicks.
Off you go, have a great time and enjoy the fact that you won't have to share your sweets! What sweets are you having? Cinema pick'n'mix are the only reason I ever go (hate films and only go under duress with the dc!).

It's weird this question comes up so often! Can't believe the amount of people who feel awkward about going to the cinema solo.

I used to do it pre kids, now sadly not much opportunity.

You get to choose the film you want with no compromises (and the sweeties you want!)

Go have fun!

Go for it. I love going to the pictures on my own. And no one tries to steal my popcorn. DH is always like, "No, I don't want any, I'll just have some of yours" and I am like "no fucking way it's MINE" Grin

After I left uni I was unemployed for 8 months and occasionally used to go to the cinema on my own. Once I went to see the first Hunger Games at 9.30am and was the only person in the screening. It was great Grin Being the rebel I am I sat in the posh seats when I'd only paid for the cheap seats.

I went and saw it on my own, in 3d with a huge ice cream.

If I want to see a film and DH or friends don't then I'll go on my own. Everyone is happy :-)

Totes fine. It's not like you can talk to a friend during the film anyway!
