		<description>Thanks Ms. Aritza! I do try and keep myself occupied when I decide to eat at a restaurant, no magazines but I&#039;ll listen to a podcast or something.</description>

		<description>Haha, now that you read my latest post.. you probably know how I feel about independence. I think it&#039;s GREAT ! I&#039;ve gone to movies and restaurants alone.. no biggie. I don&#039;t like to eat alone though, unless I&#039;m on the phone or texting someone.. lol, but movies are fine.

You&#039;re not in big trouble. The way I see it, you&#039;ll truly be your own person (with your own activities, needs / wants) and a future gf will find it incredibly attractive. If and when you do get back into a relationship, you&#039;re sure not to &quot;lose&quot; yourself, you will know exactly who you are (as a person, rather than defining yourself as someone&#039;s bf).

		<description>For a long time when I first started living in NYC, I usually went to random events alone (because I had no friends... ^-^;;) That&#039;s different now, which is nice, but I can understand the whole bachelor side even though I&#039;m not single.

But I don&#039;t think this is a thing to worry about unless you think you&#039;re closing yourself off to people in general and not just in a relationship sense.

		<description>I like movies by myself, too. I think I&#039;d be too self-conscious to eat alone, but even that really depends on the place.

In other words, these things are personality traits, not symptoms of loneliness and heartache. You&#039;ll be okay, dude.

		<description>I can&#039;t decide if those who comment on this post should be reassuring you that you are not the only one who does social things by yourself, or if people should be giving you advice on how to get a girl (or guy, i won&#039;t judge. lol!). However, the trend seems to be the former, and since my advice to you for getting a GF probably wouldn&#039;t be welcomed, I&#039;ll go along to comment that no, Patrick, you are not the only one who is single and not liking it.

I have recently discovered the notion that if I want to go to a movie and there is nobody to go with, then it is somewhat acceptable to go alone. I may actually like doing this now. I mean, aside from making snide remarks during the previews, it&#039;s not like you actually talk to the person you&#039;re with when you go to the movies. It is however, a tad weird if you are like me, and choose to see a children&#039;s movie alone. But whatever, The Princess and the Frog was great!

Also, I think my lowest point may have been going to a bar to watch the Caps game alone. I sat at the bar, tried to order the least attention-grabbing dish, and failed. And then I thought I was making cute eye contact with a hot guy across the bar, only to get upset when all these lady friends of his showed up after the game. Yeah, it was really depressing and pathetic. Oh well, I&#039;d like to think there are more pathetic things to do when you&#039;re single and looking, and I/you/we just haven&#039;t gotten to that point yet.
