Dining out alone

[canadiankid]

I eat alone when I work for my parents. I will be 2-3 hour drive away from home around dinner time and after a 12 hour day I am not eating mcdonalds. I go to a nice restaurant and ask for a table for 1. You will be the only "party of 1" in the whole joint though.

I enjoy eating alone, its nice and quiet and you dont have to hear the other person bitch about the calories and all that crap...

No big deal, I just need something to keep my mind occupied. Used to be a newspaper or magazine, but with a smartphone those aren't even necessary.

Depending on what I'm driving, just sitting by a window so I can stare out and admire my car can be enough to keep me entertained.

...everyone gives me stares when i tell them i go see movies by myself. People look at you like you like a leper.

Movies alone is awesome, I usually do that for indie films. It would be too weird for me on a Friday or Saturday night when the place is packed, but on "off" times it's nice. Good way to kill time too; lot of times I'll drop the wife off for her manicure/pedicure/hair pampering, go catch a movie.

Any of you "alone eaters" ever hooked up with, or even gotten a waitress' number?

Their pay depends on how nice they are, so I always feel like they are being nice to me for a big tip, rather than MY big tip.

Been successful on some solo girls in the restaurant, but never a waitress.

HAHAHA SO glad I'm not the only one who does that :D

I love looking at my car in the parking lot. It just looks so much better than all of the other cars. Its like watching your kid play at the playground. They have fun with all the other kids...but you know they got nothin on your kid.

I do this all the time. It is pretty common for someone who travels a lot for work. In fact, I'm having dinner alone in a restaurant at this moment.

Yeah that's when you drop exactly 15%.

When I am interstate for work I go all out, table service, bottle of wine is a bit wired but fuck what others think.

I've actually walked in to restaraunts and had witresses give me their number halfway through dinner and offer to go out afterwards. Its all in how you carry yourself. You don't even need to flirt just be you and shit may come your way.

Sushi alone is the shit. I've never been to a black tie restaurant alone though.

I have issues going to a local bar alone, but restaurant not so much if it turns out that way. Hotel bars are always ok, almost everybody is there alone.

people who can't feel comfortable eating/being alone are the wierdos...

I find it hard to pick up girls when I'm solo. My shyness causes me to become an awkward turtle LOL. I need dat wingman doeeeeeeee

yesssss thisss waffleswaffleswaffles.

I can't eat alone. I don't think it cause I'm insecure. Just need people to shield me while I pig out. Especially when I'm chocolate wasted on wings. Eating wings is probably the most degrading thing after you've been through 20 of em & looked like u just came out of the trenches. Although I do find it easier to hit on girls when I'm alone. Having the friends around just fucks it all up. Homie hookups never agian

I could never do anything alone in highschool, but since I started college it all came easier. For example a old bald guy eating alone is weird, but me a sexy e30 owner on his lunch break is classy. Plus I just think to myself I'm the baddest nigga on the planet and imagine what it would be like fucking the waitress in the bathroom to occupy my time.
