I enjoy dining out alone more than I do with a group of friends.

Who is with me on this?

>> No.6512105

I prefer going out with friends, but I don't mind dining alone.

It's not a taboo for me like going to the cinema alone is.

>> No.6512109

Sometimes I really enjoy doing this, but then I start thinking of stuff I want to talk to people about, and I've got nobody to chat with. Then when I bring people out with me I have nothing to say and sit there with my tendies and ketchup, alone.

I would be, but it gets uncomfortable because it feels like people keep looking at me and wondering what my deal is, and I also feel like a jerk in crowded places for using up an entire table just for my single meal.

Going to empty places where these problems don't exist, it really is a much more enjoyable experience than having company.

I don't enjoy dining out. Everything is unclean and there are too many people. And the food always gets cold and I'm afraid to ask them to put it in the microwave.

I really prefer eating out with friends. It just makes me feel happier.

Me too. I like to go out to eat with friends as a social event to have fun and catch up if we haven't hung out for a while.

If i'm going to eat by myself, I normally just cook something at home.

what the hell are friends? i eat all my meals alone, even at restaurants. friends or people to eat with would ruin the meal for me. it just wouldn't taste good.

Seconded. I hate people. I'm pretty drunk right now and the feeling is amplified. People ruin everything.

You should try befriending a higher class of person then.
Just because you grew up around white trash, doesn't mean you have to associate with them your whole life.

I am kind of a poorfag and my economy relies 100% on my parents (still 18 and studying tho), so I never dinner out alone.

But now that I think of it, it may feel nice.

Gotta save some money and try that shit. Dunno how to pull it off tho, since it would seem waaaaaaay to weird to tell that to my parents.

Pic related, fuck you, captcha.

>> No.6512389

I enjoy dining out alone. It's me and the dishes I've ordered. No interruptions, no political discussions. I'm there for the food, and I want to give it my full attention.

If I want to socialize I'll go to a coffee shop or cafe. But when it's an excellent meal at a really good restaurant, I want to be there by myself.

What's the difference between a coffee shop and a cafe?

>> No.6512452

>>6512415
coffee shop implies quick like starbucks, cafe implies more custom breakfast/pastry options.

It's the inbetween step between breakfast joint and coffee shop

>> No.6512456

>>6512415
A coffee shop only sells small meals like sandwiches and cakes.

A cafe sells more substantial stuff.

I always do. During the movie, you can't talk, so there's no point in company. Immediately after the movie, I want fifteen to thirty minutes to mentally weigh up what I've seen. Even if it was a mindless action movie with no subtext, I like having an opportunity to consolidate how I felt about it without outside influences. Having company with you is an absolute detriment to this.

Don't you get embarrassed while standing in the line for singles, or when the people in the normal seats look at you in the single's seating area?

If you go to the movies during the daytime matinees almost no one else is there.

>> No.6512491

>>6512484
Yeah, but the attendants still laugh at you and take photos to put on their facebook and stuff, it's really embarrassing.

>> No.6512519

>>6512491
The attendants have expensive night vision cameras. I see this happening all the time. Last week I was at a cinema where they had a drone with a camera and a little light. Every time a single person was spotted, the light would go on, the spotlight illuminating the single person and allowing the couples to mock him or her, throw popcorn. Apparently popcorn sales at that establishment doubled almost overnight.

Going to the movies alone, is the only way to go to the movies.

Movies are not a social experience. You do not , should not interact with others as the movie plays.

If i were wealthy enough, I would have my own private full sized movie theatre. There would be exactly one, very comfortable seat in the very center of the room. (And enough acoustic deadener in place to simulate all the other seats.)

You're retarded. I never try to look for single people, and if I do, I don't care
