Do you do it? Do you think that's something weird about it?

I honestly sometimes I have this mood where I would simply put my best dress on and go eat by myself and simply be fabulous, enjoying myself. Would that be weird?
I still haven't done it. I have no problem eating by myself at lunch/fast food places but I never went to a proper restaurant/place or something and today I'm feeling like doing what I said earlier.

Opinions? 😄

I go out alone all the time...if you wait to have someone with you, you will miss out on some of the best times of your life 🙂

I love going out to eat alone. No need to pay attention to someone's story that you're only half interested in hearing. I have enough social activities that eating alone is blissful. I can think and speak at my own pace. I can enjoy my food thoroughly without considering the other person. I'm a very slow eater and drinker. My company is always done with their meal before I am. I have to box up my food to go many times or rush through the last of my food, giving myself a stomach ache. My guy is the ONLY one who has the patience to wait for me to finish. So, I enjoy eating with him. He's also not keen on conversing the ENTIRE time, so I can still think and speak at my own pace. I know it might be weird, but most of our dinning experiences, we're caressing each other in some way, but either watching sports on the restaurant TV screen or on our individual phones. Other than that...I'd much rather dine alone. I can be on my.phone without offending anyone.

I'm a pretty solitary person, so I do it all the time. It made me uneasy in the beginning because it garners a lot of staring from curious strangers, but I've grown accustomed to tuning them out now.

Yes, I've gone out to eat by myself (once!). I had a hang over and had to have MENUDO! I sat there by myself with a big bowl, corn tortillas, hot peppers, menudo had TONS of posole, onions....yummmm!!!
