If you REALLY want awkward, try eating the food you just got via take-out in your car. Alone. Now THAT'S awkward.

I dine alone, go to movies alone. Raised an only child, so that doesn't bother me at all.

Interesting. I have an only child. Just me and child.

If you want to jack with the other people in the restraunt, go to a buffett.

Get your first plate of food and have one side of a conversation, then get your second plate, sit on the other side of the table and have the other side of the conversation.

The looks you get are great......

No, if I want restaurant food I will order it to go.

It's better than "just getting used to it" after a while too. It's only that bad when you're just getting your single legs back. Even when I go into a restaurant alone, in one case, almost immediately an 11 yearold plops down in the chair opposite me and whips out a deck of uno cards, while his big sister ever so carefully gets me a cup of coffee after I've picked a few choice delights from the buffet. She never spills a drop on the coaster unless her little brother elbows her. Then I get to watch that 11 year old being abused by her big sister. I think by their religious beliefs, the kid's being taught karma. I'm getting commercial free entertainment.

Lunches, no big deal. Usually on a timer anyway.

For take out dinners no worries... actually eating at a sit down style restaurant for dinner solo? no.

If anything, I get more uncomfortable when eating dinner with people. It's probably because I've eaten alone for SO long that I kinda get weird when eating with friends, dates, family, etc.

I dont dine alone. I dont like people staring at me!!!

Sure, why wouldn't I. I don't necessarily care to be there by myself, but oh well.

Yes, I am comfortable eating in a restaurant by myself. No biggie.

yes i do

No, I like every one is watching me, but when I go with someone I dont feel that way

I hate it but have done it a lot this year since I traveled almost every week for work.

Having long hair and bluetooth does add to the entertainment factor. If someone starts staring at me, I excercise one of 2 options.

a) Unhide the bluetooth and point to it.
b) Do something off the wall, and scare them more.


Option b is generally the preferred choice.

Never have...don't have any future plans to do it either...I grew up in a big family...dining alone makes me feel pathetic...JMO

i just sit at the bar and eat...be seeing you

I don’t do it very often but no, I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable dining alone. Not at all.

Most of the time, the things we need to do are uncomfortable to do, at first. It's truly near impossible to find and be a new friend to someone from the confines of my own castle. Get outside your comfort zone. Get into someone else's.
