Is it normal to go to a bar alone without drinking, just so I can socialise/find some friends

I'm a 19 chick who never drinks, and is wants to go a bar for the first time.

Fuck

No, but you'll want to at least order something, doesn't have to be alcohol.
>>
>>16472240
Yes*
fuck, I misread the question as "is it weird".
>>
>>16472222
Not really, especially if you aren't going to drink.

But people at bars tend to be friendly, if it is the right kind of bar, so maybe you will find some friends.
>>
>>16472222
if you're in a big enough group like >3 people id say it's ok not to order anything, but you can order a coke or any non alcoholic drink like normal people do when they go to bars and dont want to drink
>>
>>16472246
just seen you are alone, yes it's a little weird, most people dont go to bars alone, especially with no intention of drinking alcohol
>>
>>16472222
Other people have already stated their opinions on your current idea, and I think mine would be redundant, but why are you singling out a bar as a place to find new friends? Surely you can friends elsewhere.

Got any hobbies or interests you can join a local group for? Fellow students/coworkers are also easy to befriend.

Socially inept people would find it awkward and wouldn't dream of it, thinking of it as weird. Mostly so with people around your age. However, if you can go, order an orange juice or something, hold yourself naturally and be confident in your ability to strike up a conversation, you'll be fine.

If you're not jiving with the first folk you meet, on to the next one.

bring someone who's uncertain about everything even going to meet strangers. it's more fun that way. You could go alone but people often avoid solo/loners. Buying a drink is optional but be wary of how often your drink is outta sight. People do slip mickies thinking they'll get lucky.

Have fun getting kicked out

Not all countries are 21 and older drinking age.

Immediately irrelevant. Either euro trash or third world.

I don't like people who make broad assumptions.

it would be a bit odd, but since you have quads, you are fine.

I like to go to bars by myself, but then again, I drink.

I usually only go late if there is music. If there is music, there is nothing strange about being alone or about not drinkking alcohol.

If there is no music, I usually go for "happy hour" from like 5:30-7:30. Get a bite to eat, make small talk with others about the news, sports, etc.

As a female I have probably gone to a bar by myself once. I think the type of bars that you find in hotels and stuff that have sort of sit down armchairs, where businessmen go to relax after work I think it's fine to go there and drink alone. When I went it was some fancy hotel bar, I ordered a cocktail and brought a book, sat down and chilled. Soon enough a guy sat down next to me and by the end of the night me and the bartender had exchanged numbers.
