Eating by yourself

[swak]

What do you do when your alone and want to eat out, definitely dont want to cook, or eat fast food?

Do you do the eating alone thing at whatever restaurant/pub you feel like?
Take out?

What would you do here?

[Tik-Tok]

Take a good book to a quiet(ish) restaurant or pub.

i call a friend and say hey you! food? eat? yes? okay.... then we go eat

I do take out from a restraunt, like capri's on 16th, you can get a full meal, and you can take it home.

Nothing wrong with sitting alone at a quiet pub to watch the game or enjoy a pint with dinner.

order the sweet chilli chicken from Joey's to go. 2 orders... delicious

Go alone, come back with a woman friend

haha i think it's EXTREMELY awkward to go to a restaurant alone
sitting there... waiting...
and then a friend of yours walks in and you look like a loner

and then there's times where you get the waiter that likes to chat
and i completely hate that because i think it's one of the most awkward convos ever (i do some serving and i completely hate when loners try to convo with me, especially during busy times)

take out is the solution, or take out fast food, that or just fast for that meal

Go to a quick service restaurant i.e., Pho, cafe's, food court etc. Bring a newspaper/magazine or surf your phone. If you are by yourself you probably just want to eat quickly and go.

Don't go to a really nice restaurant by yourself, that's kind of weird haha

The point of going to a nice restaurant is to enjoy a meal with someone else, otherwise its a no go unless your a food critic than its not weird

Some suggestions in that thread.

The lounge side of any of the chain restaurants like Earls or BPs. Drink a couple beers, watch whatever game is on. Or read the paper.

I travel for work by myself, so I end up eating alone pretty regularly. it's not too bad.

I think lunch is fine alone, but I don't like eating dinner alone so I'll will always get something to go.

exact same answer as this person. I travel with work also.

If it's been a really bad trip, I usually end up drinking whiskey sours and eating appetizers all evening.

When I go out by myself I just talk to the wall as if someone were there. I get some looks but I don't mind, I get good food, good conversation and sometimes a handy under the table.

+1

Although I dont travel for work I do eat alone regularly and its not too bad.

Pho would be one of the better things to eat alone. Short wait time and when you get the food its not like you're going to be talking much if you had someone at the table with you (at least I don't when I have a big bowl of pho )
