[quote=Anonymous]I love dining out alone, I wish I could do it more often. But I try not to sit at the bar. Too often some guy sits down and starts talking. I don’t even think they’re hitting on me, but maybe they assume I don’t want to be alone (I do!) and so they are doing me a favor? Or maybe they’re just lonely. Either way, I feel like I’m expected to smile and nod even though I really don’t want to. And sometimes it does get weird.

Once, a guy who came into the bar with a big,  loud group sent over a drink for me, and I smiled and waved thanks, but inside I was like “can you please let me do my own thing?”  But then his wife sat down next to me and told me he was a a motherf____, and that she hated him more every day, and she knew exactly how she would kill him if she ever needed to. I didn’t mind that conversation. At least it was interesting and I didn’t have to worry that she’d want a hug at the end.

These days if I sit at the bar I put in headphones and pretend I can’t hear people. [/quote]
