Out alone

[AngelDelight]

Hi, have been thinking about going out dressed for a while, possibly to a gay bar, but dont have anyone to go with, was wondering what your experiences are of going alone. I almost went on new years eve, but chickened out at the last minute, more to tell on that later.

Going alone has its drawbacks. I can tell you about the times I waited for another gal to go in so I could walk in with her.

But, take the edge off by going someplace in guy mode. Walk in, see what it is like. Know where the bar is, ladies or men's room, seating etc. That will give you a little more confidence walking in.

I travel and end up going it alone a lot, and always try to find a companion for support, but that's not always the case. I have written about it on my blog over at my myspace account if you want to read it. Bottom line, do it. It gets easier every time!

I go out alone all the time!! And that's the way I perfer it.... But not to bars!! Shoppng or Casinos are my favorite places....

I go alone more often than not because my gg is not a big fan of shopping. She hates crowds. Me on the other hand? Well, ......

I have been out alone and with a group of girls. Being with a group is more fun, but going alone has a few advantages. you never have to wait for wnyone else.
IF you go out alone, just take the same precautions you would expect your wife to take going to the same venue. If shoping, just be certain to hold your purse securely, if going to a bar, you might want to ask the doorman for an escort to your car if the parking area isn't well lit. Keep your keys out and ready to open the car as soon as you get there, lock the doors immediately. You know, just what you would want your wife to do!!!
Otherwise.... Have a lot of fun!!

I'd go out with others if I knew any other local crossdressers. My only opportunities, however, would be Saturdays in the daytime. So when I've gone out, it has been by myself. Once while my wife was on vacation with her sisters, I went out to a local support group meeting and hit a restaurant afterwards. That was after dark, but that's the only time I've managed it in the evenings. I really don't have a whole lot of liberty in the matter.

I went alone to a gay bar, and had a very positive experience and a great time. The bartenders (lesbian partners) were most kind to me and made me feel welcome. I had conversations with patrons, shared some pics of me on my media player, had my picture taken to document the evening. No problems, very exciting. It was the last night of my vacation. The next year, I went back 3 times.

Being as Beth doesn't have any local friends, I always have to go it alone. I haven't hit the bar scene yet, but there is not a shoe, dress or makeup store within 100 miles that I haven't been to!

I love going out alone, but have only gone to a local gay bar. It was a nervous affair at first, as I had never gone alone anywhere, but after a few drinks my nerves unwound and I had a wonderful time. I actually met a lot of new people, mostly women actually, who were curious about us crossdressers. Gay guys too, who surprisingly, didn't know a thing about straight guys who actually like dressing as women haha Point being, the more you talk, the more you become comfortable. You will have a great time, and will be wanting more and more!

I usually go to a gay bar thet has shows on weekends, but I have gone shopping, to casinos, to restaurants, and other places by myself. I have always had a good time.

I mostly go out with my wife so I don't know how much my opinion is valid, but I do occasionally go out on my own. Going to a gay bar that you know other t-girls frequent regularly is a safe bet. I know of a couple of bars like this in my area and I can say I've never felt like there was ever a problem being on my own. The other thing of course, is to find a TG support group that has socials for it's members and guests. Our group here in Sacramento (http://www.rivercitygems.org/) has socials on the second Saturday of the month and you don't have to be a member to attend. Just RSVP and show up with your $5 door fee and join in the fun! Lots of girls arrive on their own at our gatherings. :)
