Ever have dinner at a restaurant by yourself?

I once dressed in formal evening gown to attend an opera at the Met in New York. I splurged on a box seat all by myself. I had just had a broken engagement and this made me feel absolutely wonderful and I knew that I would be fine land on my feet!

You can eat there without drinking.

And you get better service because the bartender is right in front of you. Usually.

I don't want to though. I want to sit at a table.

All the time. A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

As long as I have the money to pay for my meal what's to stop me? I do remember once going to a Turkish restaurant and the maitre'd tried to seat me in the back by the bathrooms. I refused and told him I liked another table by the window. There was no "reserved'" sign in the table and I sat down. He was practically apoplectic.

I do a lot of work travel so yes.

I prefer to get take-out and get all my clothes off and eat in bed back at the hotel, but if I am hungry enough or in a mood where I don't mind interacting, I'll go to the bar/restaurant to people-watch. I always have my work laptop out so I don't tend to get approached, only eyeballed.

Many times. You are not ground breaking.

If I'm eating by myself with a book, I don't need much attention. Plus, I'm not shy - I'll ask a busboy if they could get me another napkin or more water, or ask my waiter to bring my check, etc.

Yes, whenever I travel. I always sit at the bar.

Love to eat at restaurants by myself. I always sit at the bar but I’m a drinker so it works. Sometimes I read or else I’ll just people watch.

Good for you PP!!! I celebrated the end of my divorce trial by having lunch solo where I ordered a huge rare steak which was so satisfying to cut up with that huge knife. lol
The waiter threw in complimentary champagne and desert that said congratulations. Great lunch!!!

Sure. Often. I always have. I find it enjoyable.

DP. I don’t take a book I enjoy the environment or my meal. I also don’t eat at the bar, unless I want to.

What are you processing on here as if you are in a therapy session?

Yes, always bring a book.
