i guess i am...
I guess I am a loner. It's not to say that I don't have friends, and that I shy away from social situations, but the reality is, I tend to go places on my own far more often than I used to. It's not a problem, either.
I don't mind going to see a flick by myself, and I am kind of disgusted when I hear about other people who say 'I just couldn't do something like that.' as if they are more superior to have dragged someone else to see a movie with them than someone like me not bothering. I like going to the movies on my own. There's never any debate over what movie to see or where to sit. I can order extra butter on my popcorn without being subjected to someone else's low-fat diet. I don't have to answer questions about someone else's confusion over plotline or character names. That's why I like going on my own.
As for going out at night, I just don't like to be tied down to spending the whole evening with just one group of friends. Half the time, if I'm out at night, it's because I've just gotten off of work and need some time to unwind before going home. I'm not interested in drinking heartily, more just interested in people-watching, and being surprised at who's-with-whom.
I know I'm not the only one who does these things. I like it when I see someone who is so very obviously on their own, out and about. Independence is something that I am finding very attractive lately. I admire those that wave goodbye to their friends and who go off to seek their own adventure.
