Going to a restaurant and having a meal on your own can be a bit awkward for most singles.
How do you feel about ordering that table for one? drink pouring

It depends where it is.
In a romantic little restaurant set put for couples, then it would feel strange.
But if it were in an Asian street food place, or a pub. Then it'd be fine.

I'm like you Bear, i'm a wannabe cook and enjoy getting a good reaction from guests.
I do cook for myself and eat alone sometimes but try to do everything with a bit of ceremony, even alone, a nice wine helpsgrin wine

I agree. I prefer cooking too.

But if you are away from home, or travelling, then you're not likely to take packed home-cooked meals for a week laugh

Regularly, not a bother....usually find a nice quiet corner away where I can read and drink plenty of coffee...

well, got used to it. But most restaurants give you a place somewhere out of sight so other customers think it's nice andfunny inside.

I have been single quite a while
by my own choice and I do enjoy going to restaurants alone and if given the chance I like to interact with other
people in the restaurant from a safe distance
I really like this lifestyle

Not in the slightest bit uncomfortable, thanks for asking.

Seriously, is anyone really so insecure that they would be uncomfortable about eating alone?

I go out to lunch with my father once or twice a week. I don't really go out to eat by myself, though I have and it's definitely not awkward. In fact, I rarely feel awkward in any situation.

I'm usually with people when dining out, like family and/or friends.

More often than not, I prefer to prepare my own food, with my own hands.

Isn't it also because you don't really cook for yourself, galrads … like hardly ever … with the exception of microwaving a potato, of course. I mean, I remember when you were loudly eating those airline peanuts on the plane we both happened to, by chance, be on together. It was like you hadn't eaten in days … roll eyes Which was exactly why I snatched them and threw them into the cockpit. professor
