Arguably it's the most socially acceptable time to go to a restaurant solo. It's not weird to see folks drinking a cup of coffee and eating an egg based dish somewhere.

If you're lucky enough to live next to quality cafes this can be a lot of fun. I like places that have breakfast nooks, lot's of greenery around open air patios. So semi-private and quiet places you can breakfast.

Usually I'd invite a guest but if you're going to be out and about great time to kick back, enjoy some food, and maybe read a paper. You could browse your phone instead but fuck you.

After that if you just want to nosh on some cheap IHOP sugar cakes with coffee go for it. No one cares why you're at a greasy spoon.

If they don't have a counter just buy a newspaper before you enter and also drink a cup of coffee even if you're not a coffee drinker while you're waiting for your food. You'll look cooler.

No. To be honest if correct breakfasts were anything other than horribly expensive around here (8 CHF for a croissant, coffee and orange juice, everything small size) I would go more often alone or not.

Depends on where/what type of breakfast restaurant. I go to a nearby diner for breakfast (sitting at the bar) some mornings. There are regulars that know each other there, but most people just kind of show up alone and eat between 5-8 AM or so. It's honestly pretty comfy.

This feeling of 'constant judgment' is American, through and through. We inherited it from our British ancestors, but like everything else we've inherited it's been taken to an extreme. Most people are not judging. That is true no matter where you go, states or otherwise. Regardless of national or political affiliations, most people are self-obsessed. It is the party that they have been told is the best that clearly is the best. Any dissension can be left to the extremists' to sort out.

As such no, it is not weird to go to a restaurant alone. Be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Getting food or going to the movies is considered a social experience. I think some people feel that when they do these things alone it makes them feel socially inadequate.

I see no problem with eating alone at a restaurant. I have done it before and find it pretty relaxing. The only weird thing I could argue is that you could order the food to pick it up and eat it at home, that way you can eat in the comfort of your own home.

on the one hand, i can attest that ive had luck making friends by going to bars by myself and plenty of gay dudes have asked to smash or recommended me to someone else to smash, on the other, I've noticed that in the past ~3 years it's been getting harder and harder to go out alone and not get told off by people, and i see other singles out and about less and less

I'm no single issue voter but I blame Tinder and similar social media rando dating applications. where people used to go out to meet new people when their normal circle isn't enough (or they don't have a normal circle at all) they just use online applications like Tinder and Friendster and Meetup.com

in fact, once, i was just drinking by myself and some guy kept making eyes at me. I was feeling salty and just out to drown my sorrows by myself so I didn't engage, but he actually came up first and it turned out he thought I was waiting for the same Meetup.com group as him. friendly people definitely still exist, but the vectors through which you meet them are all gone and replaced with internet shit

even just going out to practice pool, you either take your life into your hands by asking the abbos if you can take a turn, or you get kicked out for "harassing" the ytpipo clients. it used to be that pool is how you bond with new people in a bar in the first place and fill dead air, not so anymore

no one will bother you if you keep to yourself and only go to have a beer and a hotdog and watch The Big Game but if you go to a pub to socialize, sorry, singles bars dont exist anymore, everyone's on Tinder and Friendster now
