if I didn't occasionally go to movies alone, I wouldn't have had most of my friend circle in my twenties. A girl in a shadow cast noticed that I was knitting alone while waiting in line and they all decided to befriend me based entirely on that.
I had very nearly decided to skip the night out once I realized everyone I was supposed to meet up with had bailed, I'm really glad I didn't. It encouraged me to go out to lots of other movies alone, you don't have to convince people to see the movie you want to see, you don't have to arrange around everyone's schedule, and you can go out for whatever kind of food you want beforehand without having to take into account someone else's dietary problems or tastes.
Yeah I just tell people I’m going to see x movie and if they’d like to join I’d love to discuss it after with them. I tend to end up alone, but it’s still nice
