Travel Alone
It is many times better to experience a vacation, meal or movie with another person, be them a friend or lover. Experiences are meant to be shared.
But being an only child and spent years after my divorce alone, I have no problem doing any activity alone. I was recently in a BBQ joint and the old man that owned the place & grill master saw me eating alone. He asked if I had been there often and I replied no and asked why he asked. His response was I seemed comfortable eating alone there, so I must have come often. Told him it was my 3rd time there.
Can't count the times I went to a movie alone or the 1000's of lunches or suppers alone. Happens when you're terminally shy. My girlfriend, with 6 brothers & sisters, I can't imagine her do anything alone. Recently, she had to rescue a brother, who had become homeless, and was going to drive 1500 miles (1 way) to bring him here. Knowing she'd never make it alone, I volunteered to go with her. I'd ride the 30-hour Amtrak ride home, so he'd have room in the car for his belongings. Only thing that bugged me, was the best part of the train ride was in darkness.
Just go. If it's a singles vacation package. It's people in the same situation. Most aren't looking for love or sex. Some won't talk to anyone, but the majority will be reasonably friendly.
