Yes I would and do, frequently.

No one else will even notice you and ifthey do, so what !!

I go frequently on my own...have a Cineworld unlimited card and like to get my money's worth! I tend to time arrival so that the film is about to start which, where I am, is about 20-25 mins after scheduled time.

No I wouldn go on my own. But then I wouldn’t go to a restaurant on my own either

WhyBirdStop · 19/09/2019 07:40

I wouldn't because I don't really like the cinema so only go with DH once or twice a year because he likes to. Pre DS he used to go at least twice a month sometimes with friends but often alone, lots of people do. I think he enjoyed it more without me asking a million questions.

Yeah why not? It's better than missing out or going with someone not interested or noisy

Yep, I’ve done this a few times. When I separated from exH I spent lots of time alone when the DC were with him. I bought a cineworld card and used it most weekends.

Went on my own after storming off on DH after argument. Great place to hide. That's when I discovered I loved being on my own. No one took any notice of me.

Of course! In fact I am going to see Downtown Abbey tonight by myself. I genuinely don't see why it would be weird.

Girasole02 · 19/09/2019 10:39

I do this all the time. My guilty pleasure. Take lots of nice snacks that I won't have to share too.

Phycadelicsilhouette · 19/09/2019 10:41

Yes, I love going to the cinema alone!

Offred2 · 19/09/2019 21:20

I happily go to the cinema on my own in the daytime, but for some reason I can’t really explain I don’t like the idea of going on my own in the evening. Completely illogical!
