Do any of you eat alone at restaurants?

Do any of you eat alone at restaurants?

I did occasionally. Either diner places or bars though.

i would if i left my house

When I lived in the city I ate at some Asian restaurant alone since I was craving sushi. I had a couple looking over at me the whole time (it was just 3 of us sitting at the back patio) and when I left the chefs laughed at me saying "table for one?!".

Diners or any fast food places are better to eat at alone since people assume you're on lunch break.

I do everything in public alone. Have been for years and years, it doesn't matter. Go wherever the fuck, do whatever the fuck I want.

i dont believe that happened. Other people dont care what youre doing or if youre alone. If someone is looking at you, its probably because they are just looking around or in their field of view.
Ive eaten alone plenty of times. Years ago, it used to bother me, i always hated eating alone. Now I really enjoy it. I can do my own thing, enjoy my food, take all the time I want. Its awesome. Sit at the bar if you actually want to interact with others, or at a table if you enjoy your alone time.

I do at times, its pretty relaxing honestly

Every day. I enjoy it. Sit at the bar, bring a book but strike up a conversation if the opportunity strikes. Definitely don't be a phonefag.

Yeah, honestly only children find this to be taboo.

About two weeks ago, I went to dine at a semi-high end restaurant which is reasonably prices at $125 for a three course meal. I didn't feel odd, or out of place. I was simply seated, served my food, enjoyed a glass of Pritchard Hill--a moderately expensive wine--and left upon completion. The experience was delightful. I had mentioned to my garcon that I would loved to take a peek at the kitchen and at the end of the meal I was escorted back and introduced to that evening's head chef. I gave my compliments for the meal and a notion that I appreciated all of their hard work, then departed shortly after.

It was a good evening. I'm unsure what people are so caught up on about dining alone.

i'm a chef in NYC and eat out alone quite a bit

That looks like a college cafeteria, not a restaurant.

At any rate, eating alone in public is actually fairly common. You probably don't notice it when it's not you. The more casual the restaurant, the less likely you are to stand out, but wherever you go, who really gives a fuck?

how do any of you give a shit about the fidgety scared fuck ups that exist these days?

I can't tell if you're memeing being a pratty dickhole or if you're avtually a pratty dickhole

Maybe I was acting paranoid when the couple showed up, but the cooks did laugh at me and made that comment as I was heading out.

People can be mean believe it or not.

>caring what girls think
>caring what actually any other human beings think

You do fucking realize we live in a globalized society. You sound like a fucking hermit that just graduated high school. In this fucking world all that matters is other people's opinion about you, nothing else. I don't hate myself or feel insecure at all, I'm fit, I'm tall, I'm built, I lift daily, and I have a beautiful girlfriend of two years who also takes care of herself. Sex with a fit girl is god damn amazing, those fucks in porn only care about how big their breasts are and tire out after five minutes. Sex lasts an average of thirty minutes for us, constant pounding and everlasting endurance on both ends.

We also didn't meet at a bar/gym or any of those shitty places where you need to get high off working out or drunk to find another opposite sex, we met on a hiking trail and decided to stick around for each other. It's truly pathetic and sad to see so many of you fucks whinge on the internet just because you are insecure about yourself not fitting in, I work out to make myself acceptable in society, and to potential protect and help those I care about. I know that is the true meaning for our human civilization, to be accepted into other people's lives.

I only eat alone at fast food and food courts.

I ate alone at a Bar and Grill on a Saturday evening in Seattle.

I was just minding my own business but I noticed three people at a nearby table kept looking at me and laughing.

no one even remotely gives a shit about you. They were joking together and not about you. You're not even as interesting as wallpaper. Stop pretending you matter to anyone unless you actually do.

Usually eat alone. Get tired of other people real quick.

I wish I can believe you but I know the signs. I was bullied a lot growing up.

I sort of regret voting for Trump. With Hillary in office, more Muslims will fill the country increasing the likelihood of a suicide bombing taking out a good number of these fuckers

You make everyone sad around you. Stop existing.

you come off as the biggest faggot in here, easily. Nobody here cares about your sex life or where you met some slut. believe it or not, nobody cares even a bit about how often you lift. Jesus christ just shut the fuck up, lol.

>girlfriend has interview at Olive Garden
>she's taken to the part of the restaurant that isn't open yet
>be seated because the manager is held up so I may as well do something while I wait
>end up sitting on the other side of a three foot wall
>she's starving
>never-ending pasta bowl for me
>she's taken back to the manager's office after like an hour
>get through four full plates
>people looking at me sadly from time to time
>get fifth plate
>girlfriend joins me after interview

>people look genuinely happy for me like as if they were invested in whether or not my date was going to show up
>got the job
All in all it was the least bad Olive Garden experience I've ever had.

>caring what actually any other human beings think
>In this fucking world all that matters is other people's opinion about you, nothing else

wait, what? which one is it?

Sorta, I normally eat alone in your mother's bedroom. Catch my drift?

I actually prefer it.
I can't hear my audiobooks properly if someone is in my cars passenger seat.

well chefs neither travel for work nor have social skills so shrug it off. Water off a duck's back, rise about h8

Aren't cooks usually in the kitchen though?

are you implying you perform cunnilingus on my mother when no one else (including my mother) is there

You think you're cool? You sound like a fucking hermit that just graduated high school. In this fucking world all that matters is other people's opinion about you, nothing else.

There's a dope sushi place behind where i work in this heritage section of town, and I eat there pretty regularily. The homie who'se rolling them sushies just looks at me n says, "uushuol?" i nod and take my same spot at the bar, and he calls out my order to the serving staff as he whips up my avo-kyu.

I do. It's not really a big deal even if people laugh.
>one time, went to a cake house

I still do it from time to time. Drinking alcohol, too.

where do you cook, man? Quality Eats here

so much for common decency, guess its not all that common now a days.

I came in this thread because I saw this post and it confused the shit out of me.
You sound like a huge fag.

I live in a busy business type area with lots of restaraunts, so I always eat lunch alone, reading my phone, I look like every other worker bee there. Little do they know I inherited my house from good ol' gramps who bought when the market was fresh

yes.

you sit at a bar, you order a couple beer and your eat your food

>bar
>beer

>"""restaurant"""

lol

Nobody fucking cares if you eat at a restaurant alone.
>b-but i keep seeing people looking at me!
they will look at you even if you're not alone as well.

one of the only places people will judge you is if youre seeing a movie in the theaters alone.

This. If you don't have any friends why bother leaving the house? What if you have to take a shit?

>one of the only places people will judge you is if youre seeing a movie in the theaters alone.

I do this and give no fucks. If I want to see that movie then I will with or without friends.

...

you're obviously a little fucking kid so suck the shit out of my asshole fag

Mfw i made a scene and got that cuck fired

yo gf got fucked for an hour while you ate pasta.
mein neger.

there's a bar (it's meant to be a restaurant but let's be honest) that serves pretty good 20 inch/slice pizza, sometimes I stop by to grab one as take-out and I have to sit there for half an hour because the place is usually somewhat busy

skellington haet pizza

Yes I only eat alone. I pretend that I'm a long haul trucker from Wyoming to help me deal with the embarrassment of eating alone. I even dress up, use an accent, and I've developed a whole persona and back story for my character.

>be me
who else are you going to be?

Your dad.

Son, I am dissapoint.

Yeah if I have an hour or something open in my work schedule while I'm working I'll stop in at a diner or something, sit at the bar, and take a quick break.
I work as a pest control tech so I'm always going all around the state finding new places to eat. I spend most of the time talking to other people at the bar before I head out again.
I'm not afraid of eating by myself, especially while wearing company gear/clothes.

>> the waiter starts protesting saying theres "no such thing as a table for one"
>>guess again scum

kek

tip top kek

I try new restaurants alone all the time.

It totally happens, see OPs photo for reference

What the fuck is a 'video player'

Like a VCR?
They expect me to dress as a VCR?

Okay

I was an only child so I am used to eating by myself. Unless its a date or something I like eating by myself because I dislike having to match the pace the other guy is eating at to not appear rude

>no such thing as a table for one

Top wew

I do when I am travelling for work.

No real choice when I am traveling for business.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that I probably eat at restaurants alone more than with other people. Not even just fast food or places like that but actual nice restaurants. Just earlier today I went to a sushi place for their lunch special and just sat at the bar. Other people were there alone too on lunch break, it's really not a big deal. I eat out for most of my meals, I literally eat alone probably at least once a day. Ask me anything.

Yep. There's a comfy bar close to my house that i go to every saturday night. The food's great, the beer selection is always top notch, and they never card me.

Garcon means boy.

This, it's not a big deal. If you get nervous about it, that's a sign you are autistic. When eating alone sit at the bar, that's what it's for. If you want you can eat in silence, or if not make conversation with the bartender or people sitting next to you.

Reminds me of this guy.

>when you sit in the "trucker's only" section of a truck stop restaurant when it's clear to everyone that you're not a trucker
>when you take a cold shower in the gross truck stop shower stalls after your meal
>when you weigh your Civic on the scales as you leave

I think the saddest thing here might be the photographer.

I am RIGHT NOW

you are not alone, i have to slow down my eating whenever I eat with someone else.. I hate finishing early and then having to watch someone eat the remaining half of their food.

i eat at bars alone. All the time.

damn is she alone too? you should go sit with her

ask "is this seat taken my dear?"

As someone who enjoys reading books, why would one be better than the other?
If anything, I wouldn't want to risk spilling food or drinks on my book, and would rather read on my phone

most restaurants in my area have a "no singles" policy, unless they have a bar.

Fucking normies man...

If this is a real story then you sound like an annoying cunt.

You sound poor.

I do this at my local sushi place but just go to the bar. You don't get looks that way.

Only when I gotta travel for work, usually sit at the bar, not bad i should prolly do it more at home

pizza express is breddy gud desu

I've eaten at a restaurant alone a bunch of times while travelling alone. it can feel a bit weird to sit at a 4 person table but whatever.

I can imagine that it depends on the kind of place. I bet all the restaurants I ate at alone get quite a few lone tourists so maybe that made me look more normal.

nah she's busted mid 40s and asked way too many questions about pub food

yup all the time .
better then cooking for my self.
get over going by your self just be your self who gives a fuck but you.
your alone, for the rest of your life.
get over it.

nigga u gon clap dem cheekz?

what the fuck was the objective behind this post?

What is with this meme that people care if you eat somewhere alone? As long as it's not a 5 star restaurant, LITERALLY nobody cares, or looks, or pays attention, unless you are crippingly autistic.

>unless you are crippingly autistic

Where do you think we are?

I'm lucky, the only person I ever eat with (unless I'm having dinner with my family) is my best friend and he's the fastest eater I've ever met so I never have to worry about matching his pace.

If I can eat at the bar then it's perfectly good especially with lunch.
