To go alone? Looser?

[Louise3445]

Basically strictly come dancing is at my local arena tonight.
I really want to go (and tickets left )
Nobody wants to go,not even if I buy the tickets.
I’m a 32 year old woman and here I am scared to go in case people think I’m a looser...would you just go?
Or skip?

It was a bit nasty and snippy to descend onto a thread purely to correct a poster's grammar/spelling. You didn't even offer any advice Mission.

Oh dear mission 😂😂😂

I go to things on my own sometimes. It's fine. Better than missing out waiting for other people to decide if they're free or want to see it. Go tonight then if you want to, you could go again tomorrow.

If i can get signal I will be mid show reporting ha ha

Hahaha serves me right I genuinely wasn't trying to be mean though.

Totally acceptable, in fact normal. Have a great time!

Gah. You're being snippy pointing out that someone has corrected another posters spelling error tbf Sparkling

Go go go! Life is so much better when you know you can always depend on yourself

Ok so I’ve booked block 102.

Yay, congratulations OP. Will you report back to us? I'd love to know how it went.

Oh, and I hope you get to eyeball Kevin from Grimsby if that's what floats your boat. Me, now, I'd rather lock eyes with the endlessly wonderful Oti.

Good for you OP! Getting to the stage where I was happy to do stuff like this on my own was such a rite of passage for me. Now I can do whatever I like, even if other people don't want to. And so can you!

Not really Great.

Anyway it's booked. You have to cast your vote mid way through Louise3445. Unless you are at the bar getting wine and chips.

I spend my life worrying what others think.

Glad youre going. You'll be a lot happier if you think less about this ^.

Go , you can shout and scream or do what ever you like and no one will be telling on your guilty pleasure.

If I lived nearby, I would definitely go with you :) but I would have no issues going on my own! I hope you have a great night!

Have a great time .

I didn't think MissionItsImpossible was being mean.

II can't be arsed with correcting spelling and grammar, but 'loser' typed as 'looser' does hurt the eyes a bit.

Me neither baby. Some people like to point out those correcting grammar/spelling mistakes as if it gives them some moral higher ground.

I am always surprised at the worry this causes.

Be honest have you ever gone out to the cinema/theatre and seen someone alone and thought “looser”? I know I haven’t.

So glad you've booked- I go to loads on my own (we have no local family, can't really afford babysitters and DH has totally different taste in music to me). I love going on my own now - and I've never had anyone pay even the slightest bit of attention to my alone-ness. Hope you have a brilliant time!

If you are really worried about looking like a loser, stand up at appropriate points and wave to imaginary friends across the auditorium. 😉
Really brave people come to dance classes by themselves and are paired up with others, very impressed by that. DH and I just started going together and that was scary enough.
Have a fantastic time, I'd definitely come with you but Cheshire here.

Looser or loser?

I'd go.

Its better to go on your own than drag along a friend who isn't really into whatever you are going to. I went to the cinema on my own a lot when my kids were under 3. Once they were asleep, I was gone (dh was in!)

Other people notice us and care about us far, far less than we think. Sadly I only I realised this at the age of about 35. It's tremendously liberating. I do quite a lot on my own, including a 10 day holiday round Spain recently. I loved it. I hope you have a fabulous time.
