Of course it is. Elaine Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 12:40:06 PM


OK, so I know less than nothing about gay bar etiquette, but I know an awful lot about ordinary pub etiquette :D It is perfectly fine and acceptable for you to go out by yourself and have a drink. If you would feel more comfortable, bring a magazine or a book you can dip into, and go at an after-work time, rather than 11.30 on Friday night. Just go with happy hour to start with, and see how you feel about it.
