It's a knew skill for me... I don't hate it.

I will usually park my glorious carcass at the bar, have a beer and a meal. I typically end end up meeting, and chatting with, a few new people.

It works.

Except tonight...

Mr Creepy Mc Pervster invaded my bubble.

Fortunately, I am 10' tall, bulletproof and impervious to such rudeness.

Does anyone else dine solo?
Not in pubs that have 10ft tall, bulletproof women eating in them, I don't! ha ha. Sometimes, if i'm away from home for a meeting because of work, but I'd rather just ask my other half if she would like to come with me for the trip, or not? Usually, she says yes!

I don't go to restaurants. Not because I'd feel uncomfortable, but because it's expensive. And the food you make yourself is usually healthier as well. I like my greens to be fresh if at all possible.
I don't really like cooking, but cook every day nonetheless. Maybe once a month get some fries and snacks.
At the moment I'm nuts about tagliatelle with salmon in white sauce and spinach. What I'm planning to eat tonight as well. Dang, now I'm hungry!

Only during the day sometimes.
I would never go to a restaurant in the evening on my own, the pub yes, but not a restaurant.

I'd much rather have the company of a beautiful woman so I can lean across the table and feed her grapes at the end of the mealohwell

To eat alone is not a choice; it's a condition or reality; but we can eat "less alone"...all depends in your mind. First; you have to love cooking; to make healthy and easy recipes; arrange your table; sometimes a glass of wine and candels; listen a beautiful music and enjoy your healthy and fresh meal. I f you have a pet; you will feel less alone;for sure.

An idea,,,may be...for solo humans...to share our recipes...at least; once a week(weekends, maybe)...we are not alone//friendship must float!!!

All the time have done it for years.. When I go to a restaurant which is what I normally do at least once or twice a week. I always sit at the bar.. Most at the bar, are single or eating alone.. I like to have a couple of beers with my meal.. And at the bar there is always someone to talk to...happy

I made a salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced scallions, carrots, turnips, green pepper, seasoned with salt and chili powder. I also drank the salad juice at the end of my masterpiece. It was a gourmet salad for one.

I do, on occasion, like to have a romantic meal.
So I go to a finer drive-thru, order the finest meal on the menu.
The drive to a quiet, secluded area.
Pop the trunk.
And share a lovely meal, with my date.

Recommendation: Put in your salad; sliced purple onion;some small mushrooms;greek spices mix and some small squares of feta cheese.Of course; olive oil,black pepper and salt.

Bon appetit!!
