I dine alone alot.It never bothers me.

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.
