...alone in a restaurant. ....

A new experience for me but I was starving after shopping all afternoon....and actually I rather enjoyed it! No need to make polite conversation with someone I really dont want to talk to....I can take as long as I like over my food...reading my book...glass of wine...and someone else doing the cooking AND washing up!

Whats not to like? ???

I'd hate to do it just because I'd worry people were talking about me saying 'look at the fatty who is eating alone'

But that's because I have self esteem issues. I know people don't give a flying one what I do lol

I've only done this during the day and I enjoyed myself too. Treated myself to a pamper / shopping / dining out day last birthday. One couple gave me funny looks but that actually made me smile - seeing as they looked like they were sucking lemons!

Ah you cant think that way. I used to get very self conscious about everything but not now..

In fact..its the opposite! I feel super confident about doing stuff alone...sometimes I prefer it as I dont need to wait for others...

Its an attitude to be honest...if you feel like the 'fatty' (your words, not mine!)..then you will appear that way! Confidence is attractive!!!!! Work it baby!

I have realised recently that I genuinely couldn't care less but then there is a bit of a rebel in me..

Most times I'm ok, he'll I often walk around chams naked and not just at BBW nights lol

I've recently been going to the gym a lot and I used to think people's would laugh at me there but now I just get on with my workout. O went to my first parkrun all on my own even though I knew I'd be last.

It's just eating out really but like I say it's my issue and not others x

Well, its actually more of a rolled up pancake, I'm not sure of the exact culinary definition of a crepe.

Crepe is a very thin pancake, not like American ones.

I like to dine out solo, regularly. I like my own company.

I'm also something of a recluse, in Winter.

I used to work away a lot.

Used to eat solo many a night, took a book and enjoyed.

But many a time there would be others to chat to in the same situation.

I've done it a few times when I've taken my gaffer somewhere. I just take a book with me, order my snap and keep the receipt for expenses.

Eating alone ensures I have the best company going. But I do like to have reading material though.

It feels a bit weird in your own town, but feels totally ok when you're in a different city for work etc. Weird that.

I used to work away from home, so I did it a lot. Trust me the novelty soon wears off.

Yes I got a few odd looks but then that is there problem not mine.

But now and then it is nice to eat out like you say, no cooking or washing up to do.

I have eaten on my own in restaurants while working away too often now. There are times when I would really love company to have a good chat. However I now think I have another way to use this site and my growing group of friends

Lol. I know this us a wild generalisation but it seems to me that the ones who really knock themselves out at buffet restaurants are the elderly, it's like the first day at Harrods sale.

Lets she say I seen some take the full load of king prawns at a buffet style diner before now. she had every one they had out from both dishes, must of been about 40 of them. I can understand taking all of them from one but both is just plan greedy and bad manners. Upset my friend big time as they are the best one he know off. Need less to say they did not bring anymore out when we where there.
