Is it creepy going to the movies alone??

Good morning NBD readers. Since I'm bored at work right now, I'm trying to figure out if I should get drunk tonight or go to a movie. I LOVE movies. I especially love when a good movie comes out that I've been patiently waiting for. Tonight, The Fighter is out and it looks pretty damn good, and getting great reviews.

This led me to think about the actual act of going out to see a movie. Have you ever gone out to see a movie alone? I've never accomplished the act of having enough self-confidence to go to a movie by myself. It just seems weird to me. Going to a movie and going out to a restaurant just seem like acts that you need a companion, preferably of the other sex.

I don't know about you, but if I see old men going to movies and restaurants alone, I automatically think they're creepers.

There are also double standards for going to a movie. I was talking about this subject at the last movie I saw when I saw two males (they weren't dating or gay) sitting together at a movie. For some reason it seems perfectly normal for two girls to go see a movie together, but when you see two guys, it just doesn't look right. I guess the stereotypical "dinner and a movie" date premise made it seem like dinner and movies are reserved for couples.

Because of this, I have failed to see several films because my friendgirls didn't agree with my taste in movies. Whenever I'm put in the situation where I have to choose to go see a movie alone or pick another activity to do, it usually results with me going out to the bars or staying home and getting baked watching DVDs. I'd like to start a movement. No longer should movies and dinner be reserved for couples. Be as creepy as you want, and dare to go do these events alone.

With that said, any cute girls out there want to go see The Fighter tonight?
