Do you ever feel like awkward to dine alone at the restaurant? Because people might think that you are weird, you don't have any friend or company go with you. Personally, I won't mind dining at the restaurant all by myself. I could enjoy the quiet myself, and I can savor the meal all by myself too. Honestly, sometimes, I even dine alone at the Chinese restaurant, and in the waffle house.

I don't mind dining alone in the restaurant. For me, it's not as if there is no one to accompany me. Sometimes I just like my own company. Sometimes, when I feel the urge, I reward myself with some good food, whether I am with others or alone. Whenever I see someone dining alone, I don't think that they are weird. I think that they are busy people who are catching a meal, or just like me, a person who enjoys his/her own company.

I don't have anything against dining alone at the restaurant. You know, hunger may strike you suddenly, so you won't have time to get yourself some company to go dining out. I've been eating alone for several times and I can't say that people were looking strangely at me.
Anyway, I think that dining with a company is way more better, because you have some mates to hold conversation with and it's not so boring to eat. I am quite social person, so I prefer that last option.

Most of the time I do eating alone in a restuarant near my office whenever I feel like eating. I go with friends dining during long weekends and breaks only. It is not a weird thing to be alone, what is weird and worst is when you eat alone without money to pay your bill.

It's actually an awkward feeling for me to dine alone in a resto, especially when I have nothing else to do but just eat. I've tried a few times but I had a good book on hand or my laptop on. I just order a take-out when I'm all by myself especially after shopping or running errands, and then head back home. It's better for me to have pleasant conversations with someone when eating out.

Honestly, I don't like to dine alone in restaurants. But that could be because I am a very social guy. I love having someone else to talk to or to just be around. If I am eating out somewhere I usually like to have someone else there to have as company and whatnot.
