no? people do it all the time. when I lived in the city cafes were full of people on their own getting their breakfast, you're not going to meet up with someone every day just to get your breakfast dude.

Breakfast places are the only restaurants I feel completely comfortable eating alone in

[Anonymous No.5936198]

It will look normal OP i've worked at these places and never wondered about these people ever.
If someone is on there own i usually guess they are out of town traveling or a worker just having his breakfast.
Nobody will look at you weird they are usually occupied with there own shit, and as for the staff serving you well yeah, they honestly don't care if you come alone or with people.

I use to be the same OP, you should do it for sure, this will be good for realizing nobody really cares that much.

[Anonymous No.5936206]

why would you even ask that

would you judge someone for being alone eating brunch

no

so fucking go get brunch you poor hungry pussy

[Anonymous No.5936230]

Foreveralone guy here. I don't feel ok eating alone anywhere, unless I'm unavoidably detained and it's the only thing I can do. Whenever I've tried to eat alone I've rushed through the courses. Once a waiter tried to convince me toshare my table with a stranger and I never returned to that restaurant :(

This is only a question / concern on 4channel alone. Everywhere else, people do whatever the fuck they want minus the mental health deficiency.

[Anonymous No.5936348]

Depends how you act, I usually just browse news sites or 4chan while eating by myself, actually quite relaxing.

[Anonymous No.5936360]

>>5936167
It depends on the place. The trendy yuppie urban new parents cafe around the corner from me is one of those everyone knows everyone places and there are little kids running around that think everyone is their babysitter.

I'm the type who doesn't like to small talk with waiters, I find it uncomfortable, so for some reason they don't like me even though I'm polite, I'm dressed nicely, and I always tip over 20% especially if it's peak hours and I'm taking up an entire table.

Weekend brunch is a no-go zone, showing up without a sexual partner from the night before, or a pack of little crotch spawn monsters carried in the $1500 triple seat stroller you parked outside with the expensive dogs tied up with hand made heritage chromexcel leashes from seattle, is basically throwing off lonely single people stink waves like in a charlie brown cartoon and I suppose it just kills the togetherness vibe for everyone else. Mostly, I just stop in there for a cup of coffee to go now, and try to avoid tripping over a greasy screaming little toddler who thinks I'm a jungle gym. It's too bad because the food is so good.

[Anonymous No.5936369]

>>5936167
Try living in a city. You can do pretty much anything alone and it wont even register to people. I eat lunch alone a few times a weeks since there are awesome restaurants near my work. Lots of others eating alone and its never been weird.

[Anonymous No.5936370]

No but if you're an awkward fuck then yes, but only because of you.

I get lunch by myself all the time and so do many of my coworkers (sometimes we go out together but sometimes we prefer different food)

[Anonymous No.5936373]

>>5936369

Dude, no. Eating lunch alone on a Tuesday is totally different from going to weekend brunch alone. How could you even think they're comparable.

Take a book with you

[Anonymous No.5936498]

People will notice that you are alone. Note the subtle body language of all the normies as you walk past their tables. They lean in towards each other to speak, and their eyes shoot glances at your face. A face they will remember -- as if they're studying you. Finally, they get to observe a lonely depressed introvert coming to face his fears of being socially rejected and ridiculed.

You are seated;

Your body temperature will rise. Sweat begins to drip from your brow. That uncomfortable sensation begins to rise. Your ears become acutely demi-god as you search relentlessly to pick up any hint of talk about you. Then you realize you have been fidgeting the entire time. Was it five minutes? Ten? An eternity. The shame will overwhelm you as the room begins to spin. You let out a huge fart, shit your pants, and storm out of the restaurant, leaving behind a trail of laughter and tears.

Dress like you have a job to go to after eating. A guy eating alone with clean, smart clothes will look less conspicious than someone eating alone with a Brony t-shirt with dried egg yolk stains.

On a saturday? I hope it's a work uniform because if you're wearing office type clothes to brunch, alone, on a saturday, it makes you look even more pathetic.

This isn't brunch. It looks like a truck stop or something.

[Anonymous No.5936611]

>>5936605

Are you ok?

[Anonymous No.5936614]

>>5936611

Sure. It's just that at truck stops, you're kind of expected to eat alone. It would be weird if you didn't. Whereas at a brunch place where they're serving eggs benedict and mimosas and shit like that, going alone is going to make you stick out and look like a sad sack.

[Anonymous No.5936616]

Yeah it's not a proper brunch place, it's a cafe in a supermarket. Does the job though and is cheap.

[Anonymous No.5936618]

Yes. Inherently pathetic. Brunch is unique in that way, for every other meal there is always an excuse. Well except maybe christmas dinners and that sort of thing.

No. Walk up to the hostess and, in a loud, clear voice tell them you'd like a table for one.

Sometimes you're on your own. No reason not to go out.

Go out and do it. Nobody cares. I never understood why people require another person to enjoy food. A meal with another person is nice, but eating along can be nice also. There was the person who went to L'Enclume posting it on here last week who seemed to enjoy a great meal by themselves. I did it all the time when I traveled alone. I also did it a lot when I was between marriages. It's fucking great to enjoy good food while not having to listen to someone else's babble and feel like you have to babble on as well. It's peaceful and relaxing.

[Anonymous No.5937477]

>>5937443
>There was the person

That was a qt3.14 azn girl at a michelin starred restaurant. First, she gets a free pass for being a girl. Second, it's a kind of destination restaurant where the meal is the attraction. It's ok to eat alone at that place because you might be a business person or a tourist.

What we are talking about here is brunch in town. We know the issue is with solo males, likely kissless manlets under 6'2", going out and trying to join in on what is traditionally a post-overnight meal for couples basking in the afterglow of sex and intimacy. The purpose of brunch is togetherness and sharing part of a lazy morning together, thus prolonging the intimacy that started the Friday (or sometimes Saturday) night before. The small tables that let them touch each others hands sometimes, and bump knees, and speak softly, as if still in bed together.

All you'd be doing is filling the room with your lonely neckbeard stink. The people at nearby tables can smell your desperation and they see right through your "I just happen to be alone at this particular instant" façade. They know you were getting cabin fever from being in front of your computer for days, and that you hoped to slink in among the normies for a brief role play at being a happy successful person. They won't say anything, but they know. They know from the crack in your voice that shows that you haven't spoken out loud to another human being that day. They know from the way your fingers play upon the touch screen of your phone in a way that cannot possibly be exchanging text messages with a significant other. They know by the way your face gets sad when the waiter seats you and takes away the other place setting.

Anyway, for god's sake, don't ever go out for brunch alone.

[Anonymous No.5937516]

>>5937477
Not certain why you feel that way about brunch. I went out to breakfast and brunch alone when I was single because I wanted good hangover food. Why give a fuck about couples that are out? Bars with friends the night before, wake up late, shower, and get my grub on. I never felt weird about it
