2 years ago I flew from Calgary to Miami for WMC not knowing a single person there.
I had plans to meet this girl 'Tatgirl' down there. so I went alone, but I ended up partying w/ Nat the whole time.

I have went to some events alone in the past because most of my friends I've known and hung out with since like public school aren't into EDM.

However, if you go to these things often enough, chances are you'll run into someone you know or better yet, other TAs. In fact, I relinquished my lurking-ways and joined TA after I found out a very good friend from high school and public school introduced me to everyone at Decadence!

It's not uncool if you go by yourself in any way. I find that you'll end up meeting more people since you're forced to do so.

i've never gone alone, mostly b/c when i started going it was always w/ the guy i was dating and by the time we broke up, I had a whole crew to go w/, it seems like there wodul be friends at any event i would want to attendm esp now w/ knowing so many ppl on TA

i never go alone to a big event, there is always bunch of us, but afterparties are different thing.

last couple of times i went to comfort zone by myself cause everybody else was either too tired or theywanted to go to somebody's place to "chill".

going alone is sometimes better than going in the group.

I actually like going alone because you have no repsonsiblity and no being babysitter. If it is a big event - sometimes having a big group can be fun - especially if it is mentioned that everyone must look after themselves once you have arrived.

I always go out with people, but always end up alone !! At LOL I was lost for 4 hours, and I couldn't find anyone I knew, it was sad.

I need to start getting use to going out alone, because in Ottawa I have no close friends that are into EDM, so basically I have to make my friends come out with me.

Hahahaha, could we get the original (non-Tara) mix of that post please?

Hell, I think this topic's gettin' old - I see it pop up all the time on this forum. The short answer which is generally true for over 90% of us is that we usually travel to and from the club alone, but don't find that at all uncool because we have a large enough circle of club-going friends, from TA or elsewhere, to be able to find a person or group to chill/party with inside or even meet in line.

Going by yourself or with friends both have their pros and cons. You tend to have a more cohesive group if you plan the whole night together, but that can be a problem if you're not in the same mood as the rest of the group. Sometimes I'd rather dance while they'd rather chill out, or vice versa, and in that case I'm better off if I went alone, because it's much easier to float around from one group to another.

Yea very true... plus the one or two people i go with i have to baby sit. Either they want to leave early, go sleep in the car, or one of them gets drunk after one or two beers and becomes an idiot...guess ill be hitting Armin alone...see ya guys there..lol.

I've gone alone, with a chick, with friends, with friends and a chick. The outcome is always the same. In the end of the night, you're with friends (old or new) and a chick

Most of the time I go to clubs alone but run into people I know like %100 of the time but as for huge parties like WEMF or BAL EN BLANC in Montreal I will go with someone or with a group...

Used to go with frinds all the time, but then its so difficult to get there on time...so a couple of times I tried to just meet them there and it turned out perfect! Now, I go there and I just tell them to meet me there, sometimes they dont even show up but by the time in there I meet so many TAs there that it doesnt matter. Plus, you stay as long as you want.
