I need to socialize all day with guests and staff, part of the job description,

but I am more than happy to spend a few hours on my own reading a book, watching the circus pass by, and have a beer; creepy or not.

Wow, that bit sounds really creepy. I think it makes sitting on riverside by yourself '' normal''.

In a purely non-physical way. Though the front office manager is kind of cute.....

Well, I know people that would never go to a restaurant alone. I have been 'single' (unmarried/divorced) for 19 years. I also have no problem going to a restaurant alone. In fact, I often prefer it, if I take some work or something to read.

I have been to all inclusives, and have often been invited to join others, and usually declined. Truth is, I don't really care to answer all their curious questions, and have no interest in their lame ass lives either.

I would go to the bars alone, because I could always meet up with people I knew, often other guys who would go alone. That way, I can also leave whenever I want, without having to excuse myself.

But some people would go to a movie alone, I would never do that; but I am not that big on the theater experience anyhow. I can be equally happy watching it at home on my laptop.

I prefer to sit outside than inside so I can watch the world go by especially on 172. I don't really like to eat at a restaurant alone and would more often than not buy something to take out. As for the movies, I rarely go, but I don't mind going alone. Also, I don't wear singlets and I find flip flops really uncomfortable.

I often bring up "Riverside Dirtbags" and nobody who knows PP has ever had any question what I mean by that.
