I've never tried going to a theater alone, but I dont really have anyone to go with, and with summer just starting I thought it'd be chill to see a movie on a weekday afternoon when most people are busy. plus i dont see ever getting the chance to see star trek, which I want to see

Just feel like ill stand out more to people (in a bad way) more than normal if I go alone...

anyone ever go alone and regret it?

 

[TorLin]

i sometimes go alone, and i don't regret it.

 

[kikachuck]

I don't do it personally, but I have friends who go to the movie alone all the time.

 

[whiterabbit]

I will do, but usually only in the middle of a weekday, and months after a film's release, so the audience will consist of just a few pensioners and me.

 

[Dreamcatcher]

I used to and it was never a big deal. Actually rather enjoyed it.

 

[nubly]

hardly anyone will notice youre alone. this topic pops up now and then and i can see why it would. but its dark in the theater and most people are not paying attention to other people there. go watch star trek and enjoy it

I've never gone to a movie alone. If I did, I'd probably do the opposite of this and pick a day when the theater's going to be packed so as not to stand out.

This is something I should do, but I put it off or find excuses not to go due to the perceived awkwardness I have about it.

 

[veron]

I've never been to the movies alone. I'm paranoid about someone I know seeing me But then again, I live in a relatively small city, so yeah...

 

[copper]

Haven't been to a movie theater since I was 20. I don't like going to crowded, enclosed places. I never enjoy myself.

 

[slyfox]

I have only gone alone once. I apparently picked a slow time, because there was only one person other than me watching the movie.

I don't have anyone to go to movies with. I used to go with my friend, but our friendship has not been as good lately. I haven't heard from him in about a month. No movie interests me at the moment. I usually wait for movies to come out on video. If the movie is something that really interests me, I might try going to a theater alone. People are there for the movie, so they usually don't pay that much attention to you.

My biggest fear with going alone

 

[Typical Guy]

I go to the movies alone. The only part I don't like is when I'm buying the ticket and when I'm walking up to the theater. A lot of times there are kids and people waiting for their date and they see me walking in by myself.

Otherwise, I don't think anybody really notices. And I see other people by themselves.

 

[Wirt]

Think im going to do it tomorrow. Depends how I feel...i usually get confident about going somewhere until the minutes before leaving,lol. The place I go to has a machine where you can just buy the ticket without going to a person. Still have to have the guy rip your ticket but I dont think there's any way around that

 

[Akane]

I just find it pointless. The point of going to a theater to me is to go with people and have fun hanging out. If I just want to see something I'll watch it for free online a few days after it comes out rather than spend $8 to sit in a less comfortable chair than I have at home where I can't pause it to get whatever food or drink I want for much cheaper.

 

[Wirt]

i'll only get free movies for ones I'm not sure i'll enjoy that I'd never pay for. star trek ill pay for. plus the quality takes a hit unless you watch it on a small monitor

Im definitly all for movies skipping the theater and going right to blu ray but then theaters would go out of business though. I'd much prefer to see star trek in blu ray than going out

 

[shyvr6]

I sometimes go during the lunch hour when the theatre is pretty empty to begin with. I haven't regretted it yet.

 

[Mr. Frostie]

I've done it many times. You're in a darkened room watching a movie. Nobody is going to be paying attention to you.

 

[Iced Soul]

I personally don't think it's any fun going alone. If I have no one to go with, which I usually don't, I'll just wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it at home.

 

[Neptunus]

I've gone to a few alone, but always a matinee. Last week I went to a matinee showing of Star Trek with my brother, and I noticed quiet a few solitaries.

 

[jessep28]

I'll go to movies by myself every once in a while. It's nice since I can choose the movie, time, place, seating location, etc. I don't see how its social to be with your friends in a dark room not talking to each other and staring at a screen, but maybe I'm just strange.

Plus I like to go see a different caliber of movie than my good friends typically want to see. They will pay money to watch garbage like Saw XXII or TimeCop IV while completely ignoring Slumdog Millionaire or Frost/Nixon, two incredible movies I saw by myself.

 

[Tristram]

I usually go alone, because I have only one friend who I can go the movies with and he's living in another town at the moment. There aren't that many movies that we can agree about watching anyway, so I go alone about 90% of the time. I don't think it's that big of a deal. I guess some people might think I'm weird for sitting there by myself, but I don't mind.
