I was looking for advice for pride I am interested in going and having fun but truth is I don't know if going alone is such a good idea. Has anyone in here ever gone to pride alone?
 
If the choice is to go alone or not go at all, I say go alone. That being said, if you are out, bring a friend, gay, bi or straight. Don't miss it though. It important to be among one's own on that kind of scale. Happy pride.
 
I can see your point. Going alone can either be great or plain aweful. I've attended events alone that I have enjoyed thoroughly, but other times I get so depressed that I'm there alone that I end up feeling crap and not enjoying myself. Going alone to the pride might be good for making new friends (if you're the kind of guy that can make friends on the street like that). Of course having a friend with you would be more fun...There's always so much to comment on;)
 
Go to pride. Hell, i'm going to pride alone. This is my first year. Last year i didnt go because of a guy. To an extent, you should take a friend with you, gay/notgay, to truly enjoy it together. Then again, if you are a very outgoing and more spontaneous kind of guy, go stag. I'm riskin to go stag, though one of my besties is going to be in the city that day too, so i guess if stag ain't workin out. Id just call her up.

stay fab
 
GO! By all means go! I went to my first pride all by my self. Chances are there are booths and such, and people are generally fairly friendly (whether or not they are high or drunk) so you can count on somebody talking to you potentially.

If not, you could always go online like gay.com or something and chat with ppl in your area to make friends and go with them if you dont have any gay or straight friends who want to go :-)
 
I'm volunteering at Pride this year and I haven't been to pride in almost a decade. I am also going alone and I am glad I am going because it is better than staying in the house.

I think I like the idea of going alone because after I volunteer at the booth I will check things out and then I decide when I go home or not.
 
Don't miss the experience because you don't have anyone go with. The first time I went I was alone and had a great time. People tend to be extra friendly during Pride. One cool part of Pride for those who are new to the gay scene is that various gay groups set up booths. Depending on the size of city, you will find specialized groups for things like singing, cars, outdoors, minority groups, etc. If you are worried about safety, I have been to several Prides and have always felt safe. As long as you are receptive, it's a great place to meet people. Be sure to attend the parade. Most importantly, go have fun.
 
Pride is a pain in the ass but it's certainly one thing where you can go alone to. Easier to go alone to Pride than a typical gay bar night. So many people around, and so much to do.
 
Thank you everyone for your advice guys. I did end up going with a friend and it was not as fun as expected. Still it was an experience . I found that this years was not as fun as in previous years and everyone was closed in their clique but I still enjoy myself.
