Do you go to the cinema on your own?

[saturdayhelpme]

Currently sitting in the cinema watching 'The Hustle', I love going on a weekday on my own! A few times I've actually had the cinema to myself

Does anyone else go on their own? My boyfriend thinks it's really odd.

For the record, I also eat at restaurants on my own too.

Yes.

It's normal to go on your own. It's not a team sport!

Some people have weird ideas about this, inc your BF!

Yes! Love a middle of the day quiet cinema too.

Yes I have been in my own when I’ve been working away from home as it’s something to do in the evening! I don’t eat in restaurants on my own, not that there’s anything wrong with it, I just don’t tend to.

I'm glad there are fellow lone cinema visitors out there! Everyone I speak to about it always says 'oh you should have invited me' 'why go alone?' Etc.

I find it really relaxing

Same as NotMyPuppy - eating in restaurants on my own I don't do (I just bolt my food and don't enjoy it) but cinema all the time, prefer it to going with anyone else to be honest. When at home I have a multiplex 2 mins away as well so far too easy.

Yes, it's my favourite way to watch films.

I love going to the cinema on my day off during the afternoon.

I actually prefer going alone! If I go with DH he spends the whole time asking "who's that?", "what's he doing?", "is that her sister?" as if I fucking wrote and directed it. I know as much as you do, DH!

I took a day of holiday and went to see a film by myself. It was bliss!!

I do - no-one else wants to watch what I want to see, and I can completely suit myself with the time of day too!

Yes. I don't think twice about it nowadays.

I like the idea of it, I just don’t think I could do it. Wouldn’t like other people’s judgements but that’s probably my own issue!

I too prefer going alone. Why do you need anyone else to watch a film with? People get some funny ideas. ? I am happy in my own company and would do most things alone. Just aswell really as DH is quite happy sat at home doing sweet fa.

I do. Took myself to see The Hustle on Sunday as DH and DD were busy doing something else.

Get food brought to my seat (Everyman chain). Bliss

I’d happily go to the cinema in my own! I go to the theatre and ballet alone all the time. It’s a welcome break from family life. Nothing better than a good play, a glass of wine in the interval and a good book on the way home. I feel very square writing that

I went to the theatre alone for the first time at the weekend. I travelled from Glasgow to London by myself and saw the Harry Potter play because nobody would see it with me!

@amusedbush Nobody?? That’s mad it’s brilliant. A long train journey alone sounds bliss.

I happily go on my own. Went last night to see the National Theatre 'All My Sons' live event.

Quite happy to go with others too if there's something we want to see, but there's something freeing about not worrying whether someone else is enjoying something you fancied and suggested.

(I saw a fair few lone cinema go-ers last night too.)

I prefer going alone

I often went to the cinema alone when I was a single parent, i enjoyed the peace and quiet and the luxury of not watching more peppa pig

Yes I do and love it! I've experienced people thinking I'm strange but I don't care. its just me and my favourite snacks!

You're sitting in the dark and can't really chat. It makes less sense to go with someone than alone if you look at it that way.

Yes!
And yes to restaurants too, and the theatre and concerts. I'm not missing out just because no one else wants to go.
