Do you go out to eat by yourself?

Do you ever go to restaurants and eat by yourself?










oops i forgot there is the new food forum, hmmm, can someone help move this over there?

 

I personally dont mind food courts or a fast food joint, but I dont really like going out to eat at any real restaurants by myself. And even at a food court or a fast food joint, I kinda make myself look busy like reading a newspaper or book

if i want to eat restaurants but i'm by myself, I will just order to go then.

 

naw i enjoy to eat with friends, eating alone seems very uncomfortable

 

of course eating is more fun with friends but if you can't find them...i'll do wat u do...order takeout go home and eat it in front of the tv or computer.

 

I think it's pretty much unavoidable if you sometimes have to travel because of work.

 

I live on my own (with a landlady and housemate) and yes, sometimes I have no choice.
If I don't go out to eat by myself, I might be dying of hunger or having mal-nutrition.
Sometimes, I eat bread or instant noodles for dinner when I am too lazy to go out, other times, yes I go out to eat after my gym and yes, I do sit alone in a restaurant to eat.
It's lonely at first, but after a while, I get used to it, and I'll just ignore some rude people who do stare at me. -whistle
I don't find it awkward after a while...
And i usually fiddle with my phone, sending sms-es while waiting for my food, or try to memorize the menu... -^_^

 

Because of my job i have to eat out alone!!and it's ok!

 

well that is true if you have no choice but if any of you did i think we would all much prefer to eat with someone you know

 

Well, if the company picks up the tab then it certainly makes it a bit better. You can always eat to your heart's content.

 

Hmm, after a few times of eating alone by myself, I kinda like it sometimes, especially when I am in a quiet mood or too tired to have a conversation neway.
And besides, it's kind of a liberating experience to be able to sit somewhere, order your own food, and eat in peace... -lol
And there are many ways to entertain myself. SMS, read the menu, analyze those diners around me, checking out any hot waiters ... etc.

 

I usually don't eat by myself. if there is something I really want I would do take out but it is not as good. But if a restaurant have those stool sitting then I don't mind cause I can alway read a book or newpaper, or even bring my laptop to do some work.

 

well that is certainly true if your in that kind of mood, cause usually like me i have a bit of a bad eating habit where i pay attention to the person talking and than i would pick up something to eat and than end up having food all over my shirt so yeah....

 

Oh! Hahaha, then I would like to have a meal with you one day... just to see that happens... -innocent2

 

eating alone is weird

and sitting and waiting alone for your food is worse

 

lol im getting older and getting to have better habits but you never know right?

 

I guess you can say that if you are generally a boring person. -whistle
Metallica - Boredom comes from a boring mind.

 

There should be an option; only when it's unavoidable/sometimes. -unsure

Yeah, when I'm in a fastfood restaurant or lunchroom, but not in a real restaurant, altough I did that once in Japan as my friend was already full and I wanted to have another meal in another restaurant. I was only feeling awkward a bit at the beginning but I get used to and I saw a lot of single peeps eating by themselves in restaurants.

Don't think I can sit alone in a real restaurant outside Japan without feeling awkward or being watched so I prefer a takeway in that case or I resort to the frozen pizza's hehe.

 

i always get to go.. coz i will go home eat by myself.. all the time=/

 

I like to eat with someone. If I have to eat alone, I'll bring something to do, just to seem like I"m too busy to eat with someone ^__^

 

nope i'd nvr eat alone outside. i would rather takeout or get it delivered to my house
