When I do go out to eat all by my self. I do not read a book or any ting like that becuse you never know who will walk in the door. Might be who you have been looking for all a long! And you miss it by reading a book. Great profile Val & such classy pictures! I inspect circuitboards for TTM, just started a few weeks ago, not cetified yet.

I used to do a lot of travel for business & my choice was either eat out alone or get room service. At first I did room service, but soon decided I was depriving myself of an enjoyable night out because of some stupid social 'rule' that a woman shouldn't be alone in a restaurant. So, I started bringing a book or some work papers with me. That made me feel more comfortable. After awhile, I was completely comfortable with or without reading material. Sometimes, in fact, I enjoy just sitting,looking around & enjoying the ambiance of a good restaurant. Go & enjoy. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Bring something to read if it'll make you feel better.

i guess it all depends on the type of person u are...i'm used to people staring at me. i mean when u have purple hair and wear bondge pants and fishnets..with a silver hoop in ur lip. and tattoos all over..they tend to stare...so it dont bug me anymore... and i enjoy my time to myself...but my sister, cant stand to eat by her self..she'll do what ever she can to make sure she's not eatting out by herself...

Usually eat fast food in my car.... Don't like to eat alone. In public that is.

Yeah, what's up with that? The weather hasn't been unusully bad has it? I have only been up here 6 years. I went off the road twice recently trying to get to work. I really had no bussiness driving in those conditions, but my company is based in CA & they don't excuse weather related absences. I worked for nothing that week, all went for gas & towing.

I really don't like eating alone either, I don't mind going for fast food alone, but for nice dinner I don't go unless I have company.
