Just get it to-go and save yourself the embarrassment.

Who pissed in your soup?

Truth hurts, loner.

Insecurity in being alone is utterly pathetic. Grow up and stop being scared.

I don't see anything insecure about it. It's just not enjoyable and it makes you look lonely. Are you really going to claim you by yourself are having a more enjoyable dinner than the couples, friend groups, and families all around you?

A quick breakfast while traveling on the road, sure. Dinner by yourself? Absolutely not.

NP but it never ceases to astound me how DCUM thinks that unless it works for them, *thing* absolutely CANNOT work for anyone else.

The bar can be ok if I feel chatty but I feel no obligation to sit there. I tip well.

Yes, and I pretty much hate it. I used to travel for business in Europe a lot, and it's still pretty hard to be by yourself as a woman. Give me room service any day.

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!

i love this!

This is insecurity speaking. Those of us who enjoy dining alone are not concerned about how we look. My husband teaches a night class once a week and I take myself out to dinner that night, trying a different restaurant each time. I sit at the bar, chat with the bartender and other patrons, and have a great time. Your life sounds so small and fearful.

Agree with this. While traveling, I might grab a bite at the airport bistro or diner. But I've never reserved a table for one at a local restaurant. Eating alone does not appeal to me. Eating out is for celebration and to socialize with people.

You don't see anything insecure about it but then you say it makes you look lonely to others?

Oh, the irony. Yikes.

I should say not! What would people say? "There's a loose woman!"

Either this is totally fabricated or you’re weird and looking to cheat on your husband.

Doesn’t look lonely, it is. You’re literally alone.

Being alone and loneliness are two separate things. You don't know that?

If I knew someone would never eat alone, I would find that such as odd thing, I would not friend them.

You sound like the weirdo following some strange Duggar rule.
