Need advice for going out alone

I am on a self imposed break from dating. It is hard but I have gotten a lot out of being alone for the past couple of months. The clarity I've gained out weighs the occasional lonliness.


I have decided to attend a play later this week and there's a Meet & Greet afterwards. I don't feel like taking any girlfriends, mom or kids with me. I actually want to go alone. But I'm not sure how to work the room without someone to fill in the space next to me. Any suggestions from those who have done this? Thanks

It's really hard, I know, but just go up to people you see are by themselves. I'm sure that there are bound to be other people there alone. It's hard to get the courage to approach people when you're alone, but I always remind myself this: If I make a huge embarrassment of myself, will anyone remember? Or what is the likelihood of me running across those people again?

Meet & greet? Why would a date be expected? Is it some kind of a couples / family function?
