Perspective is everything.

I would call it a whole new level of peace and quiet. I miss newspapers in the bar at 10am on a Sunday morning, over bacon and eggs…

Before we met my wife used to absolutely love going to restaurants on her own. She says she got the best service from staff you could imagine.

I eat in restaurants alone more often then with another person. Just takes some practice like everything else

I used to work away a lot. The number of times I've had a "table for one". Just embrace it and go eat somewhere nice. I walked miles looking for nice places to eat and as a consequence actually saw a reasonable amount of the places I visited.

eating alone in bla bla bla ... level of peace and ease (for me)

For me eating alone is just a time of relaxing. Sitting where I want to I can watch other people and enjoy my meal in my time. No one is rushing me, has the urge to talk to me and everything is just fine.

It depends on if you are eating alone by choice, or because no one will go with you.

I'd eat alone rather than make forced convo with a colleague any day

Yes it is! I lvoe eating alone, sitting at the bar having a drink and a nice meal......doesn't bother me one bit!

Eating alone in a restaurant is amazing because you get to go wherever you want without having to consider anyone else's preferences. You can sit on your phone, or put in some earbuds and just zone out. You can also take as much (within reason) or as little time as you want. Lovely.

Lovely restaurant with good book the best.

I love eating alone sometimes. I bring a book, I nibble some fries. Perfection.

I sometimes treat myself to a nice southern Italian restaurant. And I do it alone, because I'm there for the food and the food only. I want to enjoy it without talking.

I like going alone to places

I had to learn to do that when I worked a field job. I learned to prefer it!

I eat alone in restaurants because I like to go out to eat and I don't drive, (Covid was really hard because takeout places only had the drive thru open and sit down restaurants were only doing Skip the Dishes.) It is nice to be around people without having to interact with them. Sit down order my meal, open my book, I'm good.

I wasn't confident enough to go into a restaurant alone until I left my husband when I was eight months pregnant and drove 1,400 miles in two days to get to a safe place. Once I got far enough away, I pulled off the freeway and walked into a restaurant; my newfound confidence blew me away.

I remember going to a restaurant, and the hostess asking, "Are you dining alone? I said, "Nope. I'm on a date with an interesting person, ME!"

I do this often, and enjoy a nice meal someone else prepared, and someone else washes the dishes. It's all good.

I usually have a book with me.

what happened to just being hungry?

Poor Chancal seems to be a bit on the insecure side

If you have a book, you aren't alone. It is nice to eat alone and not have to talk while eating.

Thank you.

I've dined, seen movies, and everything else to do in life on my own. I can't emphasise enough how fantastic it is to he totally in charge of your own experiences. It's incredibly fulfilling.

I love eating at my own pace, being able to spread out, focus on my food. Eating alone is awesome.

I did it just today. Tomorrow I'll do it again. I love it.

and FREEDOM too! :D

I went on a week long holiday mountain biking in Wales,UK by myself because none of my mates were into it. I didn't care, some fantastic riding out there, I wasn't going to miss out. I really didn't enjoy going out for dinner or having a couple of quiet beers in a pub each evening, I'd get seated away from the main dining area so I wouldn't be embarrassed by being alone and despite looking what I thought was quite content with a pint of beer, reading a book in a pub, I was asked several times if I wanted to join other groups to be social. I wasn't embarrassed and didn't need any company but it seemed to be way more of a problem for other people than it was for me.

Eating alone in a public restaurant is a sign that that person is hungry.

Did it for the first time 40 years ago. My first trip overseas in my early 20's. Having dinner in a Restaurant in Vancouver. Two young men came over and asked me was I ok? Was I waiting for someone? No I said just travelling on my own. lol!

Yes it is.

EXACTLY!

Eating alone = no sharing!

I really need to know the dogs name so that I can make up theme songs about their friendship in my head...

It truly takes a village.

And about time! Although, for the record, I'm a white person and my skin isn't that weird orange pink colour. They should make bandaids in a sort of porridge colour for couch potatoes of Northern European descent.

That's just wholesome! And just the kind of professionals we need more and more around us!

It always amaze me that cats don't meow to each other, they just talk to us, this one was just really seducting and it worked !

I, autistic panda, always do this. I don't know, it seems like sometimes I am the only one that hears/sees pretty much everything, and the neurotypical folks are just not paying attention.

OMG. This is so cute ❤️

Uhm, yes. Yes, I do that.

And the cat is somewhere in the middle, very confused thinking "what the hell is going on here?" 😅
