thanks for the reply.... I'm curious- jazz clubs? my favorite one is strictly silent so you can listen to the music properly... I can't imagine meeting someone there and having a conversation (though the performances are awesome!) My community-college art classes and live model sessions also have been somewhat quiet/contemplative and very focused, again where any conversation would be intruding on someone's concentration- certainly if someone tried to talk to me they'd get a spaced-out distracted reply.
My old favorite place to go alone and bored was a lesbian club- for random conversations and dancing and drinking; I never felt unwelcome, and women were always quick to intuitively understand I was just hanging out, and there were other alone-women there also just chilling... But it's a bit far away now that I'm moving. And of course I often go out with my boyfriend, again just for the sake of new surroundings and new people to talk to (recently we went up to Baltimore and had a hilarious time joking around with this old guy and some other girls in an Irish bar). Then I guess I also had this expectation from bachelor male friends, particularly this Irish guy I know, who have a regular bar they often go to alone, not necessarily looking to pick up women, but just for the social interaction of it. I don't know if it's a guy-thing and odd for women to do, or are they just being weird as well?
