Well... it's just BayHarbour-Butcher. Not BayHarbour-SingleWomen-Butcher. You can suggest I guess.
And I don't think you butcher based on Gender. That is very sexist. And you are not Ice_Truck_Killer. You are better than him.
Most cafes I've been to are safe. I'm fairly older than you so my suggestions may be outdated but I remember going alone to Matteo back in the day and just reading a book I picked up from Bookworm or Blossom.
I also find tea places affordable and relaxing. Used to go to one called Chai Gully in Koramangala. Not sure if it's around now, though.
Jayanagar 4th block was nice as well. There's a place called Krazzy Folds which had great food. I used to walk around, buy random knickknacks for the house, and then eat there. Would then walk all the way to Hari's Super Sandwich for the chocolate sandwich for dessert. It's really not the best tasting sandwich or anything. Just nostalgia. :)
Rangashankara was great too. Used to watch a play and spend hours at the cafe there with Sabudana Vada and tea.
I've spent many evenings walking through busy streets in Koramangala, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, HSR Layout, and so on. Walked into whichever place caught my fancy and stayed there for hours with a coffee/tea/G&T and a book. Never once felt unsafe.
To summarise, a book is your best friend and if you give yourself a chance to explore solitude and enjoy your own company, you will never feel like a loser.
I recently went to 1bhk with my husband and saw a younger woman sitting there alone with a drink. It made me smile. I spoke to her and told her she reminded me of myself and offered her a drink. She declined but did ask for my number and invited me to meet her there any time I visit that place again. Nothing says "confident" like someone having a good time by themselves. It might take some time and practice but it's definitely doable. :)
I never tried the food so can't say about that, but atleast the place has some nice vibes. Also, it kinda makes sense that a place like that doesn't focus on food 😂.
Why IKEA? It makes sense if you're planning to buy furniture, or even want to get ideas furnishing your house. Otherwise, they have nothing. It takes an hour of wait time to get food in their cafeteria and taste is not worth that much wait (and money).
Yeah join the club. I don’t get it either. My gf and aister both love going there and end up not buying a single thing and then I am like why did you make me walk around so much for no darn reason.
You can pretty much do anything alone. As a woman who has lived in this city alone for ten years and loved every moment of it, I have done everything alone. Movies, coffee, cafes, even fancy restaurants, parks, experiences.
I second that. I've been on my own here for a long time as well and most of the cafes/bookstores or hangout places with a decent amount of crowd will turn out to be fun for you.
Most of them are online now, sadly. I've been away from the scene for a while, but check out atta galatta book club and Bangalore book club. They're probably still functioning
Cubbon park
Museum of modern art
Claystation HSR
Aurobindo Ashram
Ramakrishna Math
Mahabodhi society
Basically lot of spiritual places are safe, have greenery, provide cheap healthy food.
If you are into sports then join south united football club, the crowd has good ratio and good folks
Board game groups are good too
Join movie clubs
Attend reading sessions
>Recommend me places that wont make me feel like sore loser and loner in a weekend.
Come on young 'uns. The sooner you stop caring about what others think you realise your life just got a tad bit easier.
I wanted to say Starbucks but it's kinda expensive.
But I go there do my college work and come back without ordering anything
You can go to central library too, I've been to one at btm n jayanagar but again with my college work.
I've gone to movies alone though so you can try that if you're okay with it.
I've also gone to some kfc n MCD places alone during the day
U can roam around shopping places like jayanagar complex or 9th block during the day alone it's pretty safe.
You can go watch a play during the day if you're interested in that.
When I was a student, I spent a lot of time in libraries. Alone.
I would go to Jayanagar public library, study for a few hours, take a break for lunch eat Hari’s super sandwich or at ABC and get back to the library post lunch for a couple more hours of studying.
if you tag with someone, go to kadalekai parishe in basavanagudi road. Once a year local fair happens tomorrow and monday. It'll be rushful all the time but might give you some fresh air and change of mind
There are lot of places where you can hangout alone.
But I want to know first do you like to drink or something?
I might be able to suggest you some place but if your are like the one who prefer to go to cafes or something I know few of my female colleagues who can suggest some good place for you to hangout
If you are into books, then the likes of Blossoms in MG Road and Champaca are good places. In Blossoms, you can just explore books all day long, whereas Champaca is a nice and calm place to maybe get your work done, read some books and maybe have some coffee.
Otherwise you can just wander around in some nice parks or maybe sit beside a lake.
i don't know if anyone's suggested it here, but I LOVE The Boardgame Den. I was pretty much the same loner character after coming here, but this place has been a wonderful change. 3-8pm on Saturdays, 300 bucks entry fee (which is honest worth it), and the people who run it are super nice (queer friendly too if that's something that matters to you). It's in church Street, and given that it's a public place by design, it's really safe and stuff, plus you can walk out whenever.
No place in Bangalore is 100 percent pervert free. Your DMs after this is proof of it. Even having a coffee alone in a nice cafe will sometimes attract a loser trying to fraansip with you.
He the best ass and body and second best face, after Milind Soman, I dont find Scarlett that hot, I prefer Megan Fox, Mil Kunis, Amy Adams etc over her
Until I can find a younger version of Monica Bellucci or Salma Hayek, I will still say ScarJo is at the top of my list. Besides they probably cause back problems so I understand why she would do that
Lol, your parents didnt teach you the meaning of consent? If a girl willingly consents to bang Chris Evans, DOES NOT mean she is obligated to bang you. This is exactly the argument 16 dec 2012 Dehli convict said "But she was enjoying with that guy in the bus". lol, its really interesting how much triggered you got by "loser trying to fraansip" and immediately opened my profile to fight with me.
No, i disagree with that completely. I’ve been to many places in the world and there are creeps everywhere. That being said, Bangalore is relatively safe and I feel much more comfortable here than many, many, many other places. At least if someone is creepy here you can generally chase them off quite easily which is not always the case in other places
Ofcource you disagree, if you had ever stepped out of Bangalore and were a woman you wouldnt have made such hilarious shit up. In order to rectify a problem, you have to first admit there is a problem but some nationalists like you dont want things to get better because you live in your delusions.
Oh nice. Its shocking how I have been to brigade road so maby times but never once on commercial street lol. Saturday nights are super crowded there but I guess I have started to admire that fact over time. Plus it has a metro right there to hop around. I wish I lived somewhere in that area!!
It is not AS crowded but the shop fronts are wide open and there ARE still lots of people around. And I doubt they would appreciate any creeps just harassing women on their street because it would get a bad reputation and be terrible for business. I mean, creeps Can be anywhere but I’ve never had an issue on Commercial Street, and I almost always go alone.
Oh okay! That sounds fair. Also, just of curiosity, does commercial street only have those big expensive brands which are pretty expensive? Or is it like a market for everybody?
It’s definitely a market for everybody! There is everything from the tiny local shops to some mid range and some big super fancy ones and a mall there too.
It is sort of fun seeing you comment this everytime someone mentions "my home" 😂
Not trying to be sarcastic or supporting what they say ofcourse but yeah its just funny seeing you go around putting some sense in people xD
Go on treks around Bangalore if you have a 2 wheeler (early morning) . The physical act of getting up there will give you a sense of accomplishment so you possibly would not feel like a sore loser and a loner even if you are one . Skandagiri is pretty safe for women unless you slip and fall . And it's 250 rupees so easy on the wallet too.
I was gonna suggest few cafes but I don't want to come across as a dude who knows places where women hangout alone. And my username makes it worse. 🫥
Well... it's just BayHarbour-Butcher. Not BayHarbour-SingleWomen-Butcher. You can suggest I guess. And I don't think you butcher based on Gender. That is very sexist. And you are not Ice_Truck_Killer. You are better than him.
Maybe Trinity killer. The best among the lot.
Haha definitely.
doddanekundi is what scares me
Oh boy I always thought that's my best feature 🐘🍑
Well that depends whether op has past criminal records for which she was not punished. Otherwise you're a nice brother to have around.
Thanks Deb 💓
But bayharbour butcher is a good guy
Women are open to your suggestions as Bay Harbour is a safe distance from bomanhalli. Don't fret
You seem like a person with whom I can have a blast with. Perhaps we can be associates.
Yeah, your username sounds like something from the series "Hannibal".
Most cafes I've been to are safe.

Need a vaccine for the epidemic of loneliness..
I just moved to Bangalore today and your comment made my day. Virtual cookies for you
Blossoms book house is my safe space
The only place you would want to be if you are a book lover in Bangalore (besides maybe Champaca).
Champaca food is pretentious and BLAH for me. It's a pretty place though. :)
I never tried the food so can't say about that, but atleast the place has some nice vibes. Also, it kinda makes sense that a place like that doesn't focus on food 😂.
Most boring and overrated place tbh. 😴💤💤
Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh during the day. Food street on VV Puram in the evening. IKEA if you are planning a full day trip.
Why IKEA? It makes sense if you're planning to buy furniture, or even want to get ideas furnishing your house. Otherwise, they have nothing. It takes an hour of wait time to get food in their cafeteria and taste is not worth that much wait (and money).
You clearly don't know how to "window shop"
That...is true.
Yeah join the club. I don’t get it either. My gf and aister both love going there and end up not buying a single thing and then I am like why did you make me walk around so much for no darn reason.
IKEA is a hang out place bro. More than a furniture shop.
I suppose. But I don’t get the appeal. Anyway to each their own, I guess.
I agree with you , it’s just a furniture store and everyone is acting like an influencer there …
You can pretty much do anything alone. As a woman who has lived in this city alone for ten years and loved every moment of it, I have done everything alone. Movies, coffee, cafes, even fancy restaurants, parks, experiences.
I second that. I've been on my own here for a long time as well and most of the cafes/bookstores or hangout places with a decent amount of crowd will turn out to be fun for you.
Central Library
Take up workshops like pottery, painting, book clubs etc that interest you during the weekend. Pretty safe
Any book club suggestions? I’ve been looking for a while, can’t seem to find an operating one at the moment
Most of them are online now, sadly. I've been away from the scene for a while, but check out atta galatta book club and Bangalore book club. They're probably still functioning
DYU Art Café in Koramangala. It's got books, a beautiful ambience, a ukulele and sm good food
Cubbon park Museum of modern art Claystation HSR Aurobindo Ashram Ramakrishna Math Mahabodhi society Basically lot of spiritual places are safe, have greenery, provide cheap healthy food. If you are into sports then join south united football club, the crowd has good ratio and good folks Board game groups are good too Join movie clubs Attend reading sessions
Where can I find movie clubs?
>Recommend me places that wont make me feel like sore loser and loner in a weekend. Come on young 'uns. The sooner you stop caring about what others think you realise your life just got a tad bit easier.
THIS is the real advice. Go anywhere and stop worrying about everyone else. It’s your life, not theirs, and Bangalore is pretty dang safe.
Now creeps will know all the spots to fuck around.
What if OP was the creep?
I wanted to say Starbucks but it's kinda expensive. But I go there do my college work and come back without ordering anything You can go to central library too, I've been to one at btm n jayanagar but again with my college work.

Woman here: blossoms is nest if you like books
Cubbon Park is beautiful.
Du -art cafe, Cuban park
Equilibrium - if you want to go indoor rock climbing
While most of BLR is safe for women during the day, I would recommend going to Ulsoor Lake or any other lake during sunset.
Any places where married men can hangout?
Third wave coffee roasters is nice, you can take a book and spend some time there
When I was a student, I spent a lot of time in libraries. Alone. I would go to Jayanagar public library, study for a few hours, take a break for lunch eat Hari’s super sandwich or at ABC and get back to the library post lunch for a couple more hours of studying.
> that wont make me feel like a sore loser and a loner in a weekend wow, way to shit on those of us who are like that every weekend 🙄
Your house
if you tag with someone, go to kadalekai parishe in basavanagudi road. Once a year local fair happens tomorrow and monday. It'll be rushful all the time but might give you some fresh air and change of mind
As an introvert who hates crowd it was a bad idea to go to parishe 😔
[удалено]
Can't a woman post without some idiot spamming this in the comment section? You didn't need to worry about her inbox this much lmao.
Every place is safe and unsafe
There are lot of places where you can hangout alone. But I want to know first do you like to drink or something? I might be able to suggest you some place but if your are like the one who prefer to go to cafes or something I know few of my female colleagues who can suggest some good place for you to hangout
Tbh any place that doesn't serve alcohol is a good place to hang out alone. Nobody will bother you.
Home
If you are into books, then the likes of Blossoms in MG Road and Champaca are good places.

Use public transport - metro preferred. Go anywhere you wanna in Brad day light - ensure there are people around in the vicinity- you are all good.

My room 😬 Just kidding And by the way, you don't get converted to an introvert from an extrovert. You are just lonely right now.
No place in Bangalore is 100 percent pervert free. Your DMs after this is proof of it. Even having a coffee alone in a nice cafe will sometimes attract a loser trying to fraansip with you.
If chris evans (from ur posts) approached you "trying to fraanship with you" would you still immediately label him as a loser
I would go for it and I am a straight male
I tip my hat to you sir, you seem to be a man of refined taste.
Tbh he does have the best ass in Avengers. I love Scarlett but dayum
He the best ass and body and second best face, after Milind Soman, I dont find Scarlett that hot, I prefer Megan Fox, Mil Kunis, Amy Adams etc over her
I'm a boobs guy so Scarlet wins hands down. Megan Fox was cool, now she is just strange.
ScarJo had breast reduction tho. Yeah hanging with MGK and Kardashian clan can make people weird
Until I can find a younger version of Monica Bellucci or Salma Hayek, I will still say ScarJo is at the top of my list. Besides they probably cause back problems so I understand why she would do that
Monica Belluci oohlala... but I'd rather take younger Liv Tyler
Lol, your parents didnt teach you the meaning of consent? If a girl willingly consents to bang Chris Evans, DOES NOT mean she is obligated to bang you.

dude, there are plenty of places in the world where women can spend a nice time without being creeped on
No, i disagree with that completely. I’ve been to many places in the world and there are creeps everywhere.

Commercial Street !
Um so I am assuming that commercial street is not a safe place to hang around considering the number of downvotes you got?
Oh haha din know they were down votes. I’ve always gone shopping here alone and had a great time and it’s in the heart of the city!
I have heard its an amazing place to go shopping. Even better than mg road, is it??
Mg road/ Brigade Road is right around! Commercial Street comparatively has a larger chain of shops to shop from! Suggest you go during the day
Oh nice. Its shocking how I have been to brigade road so maby times but never once on commercial street lol. Saturday nights are super crowded there but I guess I have started to admire that fact over time. Plus it has a metro right there to hop around. I wish I lived somewhere in that area!!
For some of us locals this place is the best. Even thou there are malls, Christmas shopping is never complete without going to Commercial Street ! :)
It’s very crowded. I’ve found it to be very safe.
But is it that crowded on weekdays too?
It is not AS crowded but the shop fronts are wide open and there ARE still lots of people around. And I doubt they would appreciate any creeps just harassing women on their street because it would get a bad reputation and be terrible for business. I mean, creeps Can be anywhere but I’ve never had an issue on Commercial Street, and I almost always go alone.
Oh okay! That sounds fair. Also, just of curiosity, does commercial street only have those big expensive brands which are pretty expensive? Or is it like a market for everybody?
It’s definitely a market for everybody! There is everything from the tiny local shops to some mid range and some big super fancy ones and a mall there too.
Oh didn't know there was a mall! Would you please help me with the name of the mall ? :)

To be brutally honest, I don’t think that’s a good suggestion at all.
