Dining with someone is very enjoyable. My husband smokes and he dosen't like to stay long at all. So, I prefer just to cook at home.

well no problem in eating alone in a restaurants...well after all they are made for having food and not for always having somebody else with you for dinner or lunch..! i do it often..and personally nobody has the time to think that he/she has come alone to have food..! its just our frame of mind.

Yes, very true. I am a little insecure and careful about being alone in open places anyway.

I prefer not to eat alone at resteraunts and given any choice at all I wouldn't. However, if you are travelling alone sometimes you are forced into it, like it or not. Granted there is always fastfood but that gets old; besides, sometimes it's fun to people watch and listen in (what choice do you have?) on conversations. You might even make some new friends.

If I am forced to eat in a dining restaurant I will take something to read, so I watch people. And if there is something that distracts me and I look up, I will only glance for a moment.

It all depends on what kind of restaurant it is for me. Fast food yes, a dining restaurant no.

I would rather be with someone if I were going to a restaurant but if they had a bar in there I would sit there and have a few drinks alone, If it was a fast food place I could go alone and I have.

Sometimes i eat alone in a restaurant. I do it especially when i just want to have time for myself, when i dont want anyone disturbing me or when im thinking of something really serious. Sometimes its good when your all by yourself. Somehow i get to have quiet time then.

I have about 2 times in my life but am very self concious and humilated and I try to convince myself that I could care less what others think.
