eating alone in the resturant

I would think rather that you are satisfied with your own company; a very healthy state of being it seems to me.

 

I think fast food like McDonalds and Burger King it's normal to eat alone.
But restaurant i avoid to eat alone. You need a lot of convidence to eat alone in restaurant.

 

Years ago I was driving around town, just to clear my head. I was suddenly hungry for spaghetti. I pulled into the first Italian restaurant I came across and went inside and ordered. I was in a mood, just inside my own head. I didn't notice anyone else. Had a table by a window and just enjoyed the view and my meal. That was it. Oh, and the waitress was really nice to me and I left her a big tip.

 

Never truly understood this, I've went a fair amount of times to restaurants on my own, never understood why wanting to go to a restaurant and enjoy the food required having company as a pre-requisite for doing it.

If I have company, that's nice, but is an extra, and a good extra, but not having someone to go with is not stopping me if I really fancy going.

 

I always eat, watch movies alone, don't really care what others think. If I happen to have a +1 then it really doesn't make any difference. Plus i don't care.

 

Maybe instead of going to a restaurant alone you can make a meal at home. You save money that way

 

People do it. Times of day and types of restaurants may make a difference to comfort level. It's kind of awkward eating at a French restaurant alone on moon-lit evening, or at Japanese steak house with group seating - although, I've seen singles there, too. Most places are quite comfortable for breakfast and lunch - and other busy, low-key, chain-establishment restaurants for dinner. No one cares. Actually, becoming comfortable with yourself is a great way to be ready to enter into a later relationship. It's an interesting experience and can even be an experiment. Bon appetite!

 

Excellent.

 

No you aren't a loner. A lot of weak minded people don't have the balls to do some things alone so you eating and doing things alone makes you confidence. And it is impossible to be lonely if you enjoy your own company

 

I loooove eating alone in a good restaurant, it's my hobby.

 

Last night my wife and I went out for dinner and there was one guy eating alone. I had to kind of admire him. He picked the best ramen place in the city and seemed fine with the busy atmosphere and the fact that he was the only one by himself.

 

I'll be honest, I don't understand this mentality. I used to do this quite a bit because I travelled a lot. I never look at someone eating alone and think: "This man is unloved." Because if he has a crazy work schedule that day, or he's just floating through town, he could be the most popular man in the world and either doesn't have the time or the resources to go out for lunch in that instance.

If you look around any restaurant, plenty of people eat alone. Not that big of a deal.

 

My dude, sometimes I stare at restaurant people because I haven't been allowed to socialize in so long because of the current state of the world. I just stare, I think people these days do it for the same reason. Sometimes I'm like "Shit, I forgot what a cute girl looks like. " .

 

Totally fine! I suggest u to put sunglasses and focus on ur food

 

I've had my fair share of movies in the cinema all by myself. And I enjoyed them a lot. Who cares what everybody else thinks? If anybody thinks anything, anyway...

 

If Tony Soprano can do it, all of us can.

 

I pretty much always eat alone when I'm in a restaurant. I just listen to a podcast or something while eating. Often it's one of the best times of my day. (Although this is mostly pre-covid. I've mostly given up on restaurants for now.)
