To go to the cinema alone

[JustAboutGettingBy]

Is that sad? I have a day off this week and havent had a day (minus work) without my DS since he was born 16 months ago. I am debating going to see a movie and have a nice lunch somewhere but I will be alone. No idea whats even on mind!

I dont have many friends at all (almost zero in fact) and anyone I do know will be working.

Is that sad?

Do it!

I'm female. None of the people I usually go to football with are going today, so I'm going to the match on my own.

I love going to the cinema on my own and have done it for years - I remember seeing South Park - The Movie in a massive multiplex screen entirely on my own once.

I hadn’t been for quite a while, but I went the other week to see The Favourite. Was really looking forward to it but I didn’t like it that much. Unfortunately I fell asleep halfway through and woke up when the credits started!!

My local cinema is £5 a ticket. I'm in there all the time. Alone.

Do it. I go to the cinema alone when I get the chance and if there's a film on that I want to see. I often find it difficult to be free at the same time as friends as my son's dad works a different shift pattern every week. I love my solo trips to the cinema

I saw Mary Queen of Scots a few days ago, on my own. I really enjoyed it.

Brilliant. I'm swinging more to bohemiam rhapsody now....its tough. Who knows when I will go again...

I don't think Bohemian Rhapsody is still on in many places or Star Is Born, major cities perhaps

I love it - I’m going on my own tomorrow to see Can You Ever Forgive Me, the trailer for it looked great when I saw The Favouritelast week.

Do it, you won’t regret it

The only ‘sad’ thing is people who think being able to enjoy your own company is ‘sad’.

YABU it's disgusting

Bohemiam rhapsody is on at my local cinema in the morning so I will go for that. I can drop my son at the childminders get the train into town for a coffee (and cake) before hand, lunch after with wine (hence the train) a bit of shopping and home by the usual time

I love going on my own. Family bag of minstrels that you don't have to share, and you're living the dream!

Enjoy OP! Such a good movie

I've seen that twice, you'll enjoy it. The first time I went to the cinema on my own I felt like a social failure (which I am tbf) but I soon realised that it has its advantages. It's actually much nicer, especially if it's a film that you know others wouldn't be keen on.

And the nicest thing was the cinema cat (a ginger tabby) chose MY lap to curl up on, so I watched the movie stroking this lovely, furry, purring hot water bottle. Was divine! In fact I remember that better than which film it was... it was a once popular independent cinema, now long gone after the multiplex cinemas took the trade away. Shame!

Enjoy, it's a good film!

I often go on my own, I have a members card and there are films I watch that I know no one else (who I would usually go with) would be keen on. So I don't think twice about heading off on my own.

I love it. Blissful peace! The only time I felt a little odd was on a friday night when it was full of couples and groups and I was late so not much choice of seats.

Oh god I’m so jealous
I love going alone
I haven’t left the house without baby and toddler attached to me for three years and four months (dd1 age!). Except for labour with Dd2 lol
It’s absolutley fantastic
Enjoy

Hell yes, do it! I had a weeek in the Canary Islands alone 😱🥳🥳🥳

I go to the cinema on my own a lot and it's great. It is very quiet during the day, so I don't have to put up with anyone eating smelly hotdogs etc. I have a way of booking a seat which ensures no one can sit next to me 😊

I go to the cinema very regularly and have to say I've noticed an increase in people going alone go for it and enjoy your film

I LOVE going on my own!
I take sandwiches 

Wish I had time to do this!
