Yes. I love eating out alone. I goof around on my phone and enjoy the peace and quiet.

It's really not a problem. If you're an autist just dress "business casual" with a jacket and go to a nice restaurant on a Friday night, the other customers will think you're on a business trip, and the wagies will SEETHE as you waste a seat at a 2-top.

This kills the wagie. (Financially, most restaurants are thinly veiled theater around a liquor license.)

Yea, in general you can get a seat at the bar right away, even if it's a super popular spot with a long line. Ended up being more enjoyable that going to dinner with my ex and sitting in silence not having anything to say to each other. My bill is also half the price.

It depends on the restaurant. Like, I wouldn't recommend OP make a reservation for 1 at Chuck E Cheese.

what the fuck is wrong with people? do you sit there judging other people if you see them eating alone? i certainly dont and i wouldn't expect someone to think that about me

>> No.19105369

Yes you do. You judge everything you see, even if you're not self-aware enough to know it.

>> No.19105376

i think id be self aware for judging someone for eating alone when i prefer eating alone myself

I don't understand these kinds of couples. I always see them, both bored to death, both browsing their phones, not looking at each other in the face, save for the occasional bickering. When i had a gf i cherished every single second with her, i just can't fathom why a person with that kind of relationship would take the trouble to eat outside

it wasn't really a good relationship anon.

Always, no one will ever love me. But girls say I have a cute face and look younger than I am so I usually get good service and they seem nicer to me than you would normally expect. Maybe I just tell myself that to cope who knows.

I cannot relate to this, and I'm usually too concerned about what people think of me. Dining alone is simply not weird, tons of people do it regularly. I think you have to be seriously insecure and possibly self-important if you think anyone notices/gives a shit that you are having lunch or dinner by yourself.
