to be honest I share the feeling that it can be annoying at times. I also travel a lot for work and it just feels weird to go into a restaurant and occupy a table by yourself. going to restaurants is mostly a social experience and I have the feeling that other dinner guests don't really understand why you would go there alone.
maybe that's more of a European culture thing, it highly depends on the country you are in as well. for instance Dutch people are the kings of stare. they will give penetrating looks and judge the people around them into the tiniest details. this is also the reason why in Amsterdam all restaurants and pubs have their seats and tables facing the street, so the guests can check out people passing by while eating.. lol.
I usually try to pick a spot that gives me an overview, I don't mind facing ppl its just boring if u have nothing else to do than eat and nobody to talk to. at least watching ppl or checking out girls can be worthwhile hehe |
dude, is Amsterdam, all people like to stare at the windows :p
not having that kind of feeling here in Den Haag though |

| People stare at self conscious people, you think you're looking weird people around you start thinking the same. Simple social science. |

Its kinda weird. If i am alone, and i am hungry i just go eat.. doesnt matter if i am alone or not.
For like 3 days i ate alone breakfast/lunch/dinner in a hotel once. Didnt bother me. |

That's a hotel where you got TV, books, computer. Continuously eating outside for meals that take 1+ hours gets old fast. |

I like eating out :D.... I dunno maybe becuase i wasnt at a holiday inn which was the difference too. I also enjoy going by myself and drinking a cup of coffee when i travel. Its usually alone. |

i don't mind eating by myself or going to the movies by myself or doing anything else completely by myself. i hate making plans and making a big deal out of doing such simple things, and having to worry about coming to a compromise on what you're going to eat or when you're going to eat it, etc. is just too overwhelming for me.
for nice dinners it's more of a social thing, but if i'm just grabbing a quick bite to eat... who cares. |

oh i def can not go to the movies by myself.
I once went to a strip club and i was going to meet some friends. Then they didnt show up and i had to leave after waiting in there for 20 or 30 minutes. It was a bit embarrassing. It was highschool so who gives a i guess. |

My mom goes to the movies alone all the time. She loves movies but she hates having to invite a friend because they always want to make a huge night of it and get drinks after or dinner and bla bla bla and my mom just wants to get her candy and see the movie and then go home lol She probably goes alone at least twice a month. |
