Having been to a few gigs on my own, I never regretted it. I only ever regretted not going, as some of these opportunities may not come around again.

You should def go by yourself. I went to a WNBA game by myself last minute and had so much fund (made me wish I went for a playoff game by myself earlier in the summer). Also going to a Broadway show by myself in a few weeks. I’m not missing any more events I’d enjoy because I have no one to go with.

I go to lots of cultural and artsy events by myself. I enjoy them, others don't, and I'm not missing out simply because I don't have a date. Plus, there are frequently better seating options!

Didn’t expect anybody in this industry to listen to black metal. Nice.
