how about extending the concept and ask, would you go to see a band by yourself? would you go to a nightclub by yourself?

I've done both

Eating alone is nice sometimes, most women talk to much when at a restaurant. I find it annoying...

I have, I like my own company:winkwink:

been there, done that.

I have gone to a concert by myself.... at a big stadium too, LA Staples Center...
Would never go to a night club by mysef...

only if food is hot :)

I agree completely :thumbsup

yeah i think i would. i love to people watch and if i was alone, no one would be there to tell me not to stare. lol

same here. I do it all the time. i dont eat shit food. I either cook myself or go out. Before I was in a relationship I used to do this all the time. People watching is the greatest! You see some funny shit

If you care what other people think you are already weird.

apart from eating alone in restaurants, the no smoking law made it virtually impossible for me to enjoy eating out. Relaxing after the main course with a beer and a smoke - it's all gone. Hate it.

Brave enough?? Who put the thought into your head that you should be too cowardly to do it?

Whats wrong with this? I do this all the time. I love to spend time with myself, so I often go on long drives and eat in restaurants alone. Some of my friends, and friends of my younger bro find it weird, but I don't care. Time spent with your own self is the best time.

You're talking about bausch, GFY's own self loathing basket case. I've never seen the guy post anything other than how depressed he is. In fact that's the only thing I know about him.

Im pretty sure its a chick...never known a guy to be that neurotic.

Ive eaten at very nice places by myself, even gone to movies by myself...if you spend your days worrying about how it looks to a bunch of people you will never see again then you got other issues to worry about.

Yes I do it all the time ... I like to just chill and relax..

I've done it before, and yes i would do it again...

I love you.

Which personality disorder forums do you frequent?

ABSOLUTELY! I'm leaving Thursday for Cuba alone for a week! It's better to be alone than in bad company :winkwink: Besides I make friends very easily!

I go places all the time by myself, and a lot of times prefer it.

Nothing ruins my trips to furniture or electronics buying like some nagging woman in my ear.

Dinner is the same. I eat where I want, when I want. That is the freedom of life. I do not give a fuck what others think about me. As someone else mentioned above...

Someone I have never met.
Will probably never see again.
Do not give a flying fuck about..

Who cares what they think?



If you worry about what others think of you, then you are in the wrong industry to begin with.
:2 cents: :2 cents:

i've never gone to a movie by myself... but i've certainly eaten at very nice places alone. though it's true that i'm usually traveling when this happens. and if i'm alone, it's also true that i'm either reading the paper, or on wifi. i get bored easily :)

I've spent most of my life(last 20 yrs. totally) travelling, living in hotels doing systems consulting work.

I like nice food(chateaubriand, etc), nice wines, and eat in high-end places all the time. I also like people watching, and I flirt like mad.

I even convinced one 5* place to change their menus, because a lot of their nicer stuff was for "2". They were attached to a business hotel with about 3000 rooms, mostly with single travelers.

Why not,i eat so many times alone,its kinda normal now,lol

i second this

i can't sit anywhere without having something to read or so

I used to do it all the time but I always have a book or a magazine with me. Not because of "needing" the distraction its just something that I really enjoy doing. I read while eating whenever I am by myself whether out or at home.

lunchtime - no problem, many office people do it

running into a burning building to save someone takes bravery. Eating alone just takes not focusing on yourself.

I wonder where all you single diners are because I have NEVER seen someone eat alone in a 4 or 5 diamond restaurant in the dining area. Most single diners will sit at the bar. Why? Beacuse it's fuckin' awkward to dine alone and part of the experience of a nice restaurant is enjoying it with someone else.

I live on a street in Montreal where's it's only nice restaurants. I eat out once in a while by myself, depending on the daily specials ;-)

been considering ruth chris in just that circumstance..

Ruth Chris isn't a nice restaurant; it's a chain for fat tards who think they're too good for Red Lobster.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Um, wow.

There are a lot of people in this thread who think there are some kinda society 'rules' we are too follow, or so worried about what complete strangers think of you and your 1 hour in some restaurant that you let it dictate your actions, habits, and choices.

Worrying about what you think, they are thinking, and feeling for some long stranger in some place for an hour, and blah blah blah. Yet some of you peddle porn.

I can only imagine the kind of neurotic creeper you are in your daily life...

Sure,I don't see a problem with it

I don't have a problem with eating alone, but I prefer to eat with someone, specially when I go to nice restaurant.

Some people really have a major hangup about eating alone. This one nurse I once worked with years ago thought it was absolutely sad and pathetic that anyone should eat alone. Seeing a movie at a theatre alone? Forget it. To her it was just weird. Even heading outside of work on a nice day and eating lunch alone on the lawn freaked her out. And there was no reasoning with her either. If you ate alone she felt sorry for you and couldn't fathom why people do it.

Bausch reminds me of that nurse.

I feel sorry for the creepers who think like the nurse. They are dependent on others for happiness.

When you think about it, people being concerned with what others think is the downfall to American society. All the way from, people buying 20" rims for their '88 caprice classic, to corporations stuffing the books to impress shareholders.

Unshackle your mind!
