What I do, when eating alone, is pick a restaurant that has a bar, as nearly every restaurant will let you eat at the bar if you want to, and I find I feel a lot less self conscious sitting there alone than at a table, and often you can talk to the bartender, or other solo people at the bar.

Unfortunately for me I do not drink, so I do not go into bars.

I'm single too, but I have gotten very comfortable eating alone - I think because I travel for work a lot and it just started happening. I bring a book, or I write, or sometimes just people watch and make up stories about what is going on at other tables. Sometimes I can even eavesdrop (!).

But I'm less comfortable going to a movie alone . . . too bad we can't make virtual movie dates!

Hey! I just noticed . . . Jason/Joe snuck ahead in the poll. I suspect the new Condor. Am I right?

Most restaurants I go to, the bar is in the same room as the tables/booths, and no rule says you can't order a diet coke (or pepsi pepsi ) or a coffee! Coffee

I'm with you,CD! I've gotten much better about going to movies by myself, but I just can't bring myself to go to a restaurant alone... Way too self-conscious about eating by myself.... At least in the theater, it's dark and no one can see that I'm alone!

At least not once the lights are down.

When I was younger, I used to like going to bars but not anymore. I'd rather meet people somewhere safe like a bookstore or coffee shop (or an anime/comic convention!)

You know, I've been taking a second look at the Eagle. He is very attractive--those big blue eyes are to die for.

Decisions, decisions.....Confused1

I've brought my fic notebook with me before when I go places alone. No one will bother me if I'm obviously busy writing.

The thing I dislike about going to the movies is... once you get up to go to the bathroom, you don't have the guarantee that it will be there when you return.


LB, I was much like you as a child. Sometimes I would even ask to be grounded so I could have my own fun in creating stories/barbies.

*laugh* I am thinking you mean your seat wont be there when you return and not that the movie has moved.
That is one reason I make sure I go to the bathroom before i enter the theater and with the price of drinks and food at the theaters these days I tend not to buy anything upon entering. That means I do not need to get up in the middle of the show either.

I'm ROTF at my miscommunication. I can just picture it now how it's written... Walks out of restroom only to find that the whole movie theater viewing area has disappeared. leaving

My sense of humor has been at an all time high right now, not sure why though. CD it feels as if I'm chasing you around the site.
