Is it weird to go to the movies alone?

Question

I want to see 50 shades of Gray today after reading the book, however, my BF doesn't want to go with me because he thinks that movie will be "gay and a waste of money", and all of my friends have work tonight, as I have a day job, so I wouldn't understand. I'm not going to see that movie with ANYBODY in my family. I don't have sisters to go with, so that's out of the question. I have a brother and he is not the least bit interested in seeing it. So what should I do?

I have 2 questions for you:

1. If you saw someone go to see any movie by themselves, would you think that's weird?

2. If you saw someone go to see Fifty Shades by themselves, would you think that's weird?

I have an unlimited cinema pass for the year, so I see a lot of movies but sometimes I go alone often because I maybe decide to go on short notice. A mate of mine has the pass and does the same thing.

I've gone to plenty of movies by myself for different reasons. sometimes if other people don't want to see the movie I want to see, if I can't find someone to go with before the movie is going to exit theaters or sometimes if I'm just rolling solo for a little maybe i'll go to a movie.

I kind of like it. you can go see what you want when you want.

It has always escaped me why the world sees going to the cinema as a group activity, and refuse to go alone. I go by myself all the time, and dare I say it is my favored way. It is not in the least bit strange-- no one will be watching you out of the corner of their eyes, wondering where your friends are. They are there to see their own movie.

I actually went and saw it today lol
With a group of girlfriends of mine. There is nothing wrong with going by yourself though. I only went with the girls because we all wanted to hangout with each other (it's been a while since we all hung out as a group). By all means if your bf doesn't want to go, go by yourself... No biggy

I've gone by myself. I was nervous but I really wanted to see the movie and no one would go with so I went alone. There wasn't anyone else in there with me lol. For you it might be different because the movie is still new. But I say go. You're probably not gonna be the only one in there alone.

I do all kinds of stuff by myself - eat, travel, shop, movies, masturbate, shop, - its all good. No worries!! Enjoy yourself!!!

Nah, it's not weird. I've done it before. Everyone else will be watching the movie, not paying attention to the fact that you're there alone. Go see the movie if you want to, it's not a big deal.

Done it once before. And probably gonna go watch this movie by myself too lol cuz all my friend already went to the premiere..

FlyingTurtle · Answer

To answer the question, it's not weird, just maybe a bit lonely. As a side note, I'd encourage you not to give money to a movie that romanticizes abuse.

performerwannabe · Answer

Of course you should go! I want to see it too but I'm affraid I'm not allowed because I'm not 18 yet... Have fun and enjoy the movie. :D

Izzex3 · Answer

I personally wouldn't, but plenty of people do. (: I have a close friend that does it all the time.

miserybusiness · Answer

Not at all. I've done it. Just go in and sit. It'll be dark and you'll be watching a movie, no need to talk to anybody. On another note... ew 50 shades.

thomasjjeffy · Answer

Well I'd go I'm your case. It will be your bf's shame in my opinion. Why don't you make a compromise? Next time he chooses what to see / do.

I don't think it's weird but for me personally it kind of boring going places and doing things by myself. But if you really want to go you should

No, it's not weird to catch a movie by your self  i did it couple times

art84 · Answer

If I didn't have anyone to go with, I would go by myself. Nothing wrong with that as not everyone likes to see the same movie.

Klaatu51 · Answer

i don't see it as weird... after all when you see a movie, you're focusing on it.

AshleyMD · Answer

I always felt weird doing it, but I don't think anyone else is weird for doing it.

Strider90 · Answer

It is sometimes. But I still go every time alone. And... I agree 100% with your boyfriend. I wouldn't go to this one either.

Yes, it is somewhat weird but it's not a bad weird.

ButterSauce · Answer

It's not weird, but i can't do it. I hate going out alone.

ccthecurious · Answer

Not weird at all! You actually might enjoy the movie even more, because its you and you only with the movie... so go for it!

Jack-Shepard · Answer

Quite the contrary, i prefer going to the movies by myself, i call it "Me" time.
