at at restaurant by yourself? I never have, I would feel very uncomfortable. I know people do and it's fine..but for me..never. I would rather eat in my car by myself
I have. It's weird too because when I was younger I wouldn't do anything by myself. When we went out to eat sometimes my mom would tell me I had to go up to the counter and order my food myself and I wouldn't do it - 'okay, then I'm not hungry.'
But now, eating out by myself is no big deal at all. I bring a book or magazine. It's really nice actually.
When I travel for work I always sit in the restaurant and eat alone. I bring a book. For me sitting in a hotel and ordering room service alone is depressing, I'd rather people watch!
What Lindsay said. I would never go to a restaurant alone without a book. Even here at work, if I take myself to the local Choke-n-Puke for lunch, I've got my currently-being-read book with me.....
Sometimes I will go to the little restaurant in town and have a bowl of soup by myself (they have good soup). I do bring a book to read though, I can't just sit. I have to be doing something.
Yes, I have done it and will do it again, no books or anything, I LOVE me time. It's usually when I'm going grocerie shopping or when I'm supposed to eat at home without SU. I perfer to eat in at a resturant, takeout is never the same, JMO
I have never done so, but I would. Hell, I'd probably enjoy eating a meal by myself where I didn't have to cut up someone else's food. LOL. I'd take a book or magazine though.
I travel alot for work and I can only take so much room service. I dine alone and sometimes I wonder if the staff thinks I have no friends. "Look I have friends, really I do! I have pictures! No. The picture didn't come with wallet,honest *****!"
Same here - when i used to travel alot for work I always ate alone with a book for company but since I was normally in a big city there were others eating alone also!
I do sometimes for lunch but normally I get it to go and take it back to the office and eat at my desk. The only time I stay there is if I just really need some decompression time from work. No books though just eat and relax. I wouldn't eat at a more sit down place by myself though.

i'm with most other people. i go and take a book or papers to grade while i'm there so i'm not gawking at everyone. people do it all the time and i never think anything of it.
Like others, I certainly eat by myself at a restaurant but bring a book. There are a few places that put single people at the less desirable tables, by the kitchen door or right out in the middle of the room.
