Table for 1 Please...

I haven't been cooking my own food much since I got back from vacation simply becuase I'm tired and am not ready to get back in the swing of things JUST yet, so I've been going out and eating alot this week.

Tonight I went to TGI Fridays and had a soup and salad combo. It just struck me. I'm eating dinner alone, and the waitress is extra nice to me.... Like "feel sorry for the single loser" nice

It felt really odd. I felt like picking up my cellphone and dialing someone just to make it look like I wasn't this sorry loser or something which NEVER EVER crosses my mind. I normally view being single is this liberating thing that allows me to do everything and anything I want to whenever I want to. But I just realized tonight that while this is still true, I'm doing anything and everything I want to do .... alone.

I started feeling... I don't know... inadequate. Strange. Sort of like a misfit.

Is this is a normal feeling when dining alone? I don't get that when I watch movies by myself.


Any of you dine alone regularly? Do you ever feel weird? Has growing older changed this attitude any?

poor single loser.

it's okay

i still love you.

dude, you need to get laid.....

I'm here for the gangbang!

I can understand exactly what you're going through. But I could never go in a restaurant to eat alone. And since I can't cook, all I eat is junk food, or nothing.

You assholes!

I still feel weird about dining alone, so I dont do it, if I have no one to come with me I just bring it back home.

really, getting laid helps.....because after you got laid you'd walk into TGIF's on your one like you own that motherfucker, you'd look at the waitress like 'what you laughing at?'

I don't usually go out to eat because I like to cook for myself, but when I was away at school and without a kitchen, I had no choice. I don't really like eating by myself, but if I'm hungry, I'm going to go eat. The only time that I feel weird is if the place that I am at is really crowded and I'm just there sitting by myself.

i feel sorry for you for eating at a TGIFridays!

i'll eat anywhere by myself, i don't care. i just bring a book or a notebook and enjoy my own company. but i'm only child styley that way.

i wouldn't eat somewhere that was like "family dining experience"-ish by myself. that would be depressing. plus the food usually sucks and is overpriced, and there's the whole screaming children factor to deal with.

BTW...eating out will just make you gain more weight.

I have yet to really be nude in a public setting. Not that I'm a never nude but just not in front of other people. I'm a misfit at Burning Man.

SOrry, I'd never walk into a TGIF's like I owned the fucker...Nor Applebys nor Benegins. CHili's...perhaps!

I don't think I've ever gone out to dinner alone. Breakfast and lunch regularly, though. If I don't feel like cooking dinner I get take out and eat it at home. After living alone for years I'm quite used to doing just about everything alone. But I still don't think I could do dinner.

I like dining alone because you can take as much time as you like to order without the impatience of others. Plus you can also flirt with fit waitresses without a slap from your missus.

I dont understand why most people have problems with going out alone etc. Is it like you really dont enjoy or cause of what others think?

I have never dined out alone. I think I should try it some time.
