I do the exact same thing, as a matter of fact every Friday I buy a new book and go to my favorite Italian restaurant and enjoy my time alone. It's not weird it's actual very rewarding to my soul and spirit. I personally lead a very busy hectic life so time alone doesn't make me a loner but rather a very sane woman!

Hmmmm well I guess for me it is not that strange. I actually met some really good friends one night by doing that. Of course it was at college and at McDonalds. But either way you look at it life is short and every opportunity you get to meet someone who can be a potential friend, I say go for it. Hey maybe if people did this kind of stuff more often we would have less hate in the world because everyone would know everyone. Yeah it's a dream. But I agree with some of the comments that maybe it is rude to some people but if they don't want to be joined they should just say it. And if it really is that rude in the first place, then why are the host/hostesses allowing you to ask the strangers? Just my thoughts!! Take them for what they are worth.

I, like you, am able to enjoy the company of myself by going out to dinner. I have also found myself going to the movies, the beach, museums, art galleries, etc. on my own. Just last weekend I attended a theater matinee of Annie Warbucks with no one except me. Weird? Absolutely not. I have friends & family that would, no doubt, love to go with me, but I enjoy the quiet times of doing things on my own when I feel I need the "alone time". I'm a rather independent woman so it doesn't bother me to "go it alone." Actually, my next adventure is to do some solo traveling - just me and my camera in some far off land!! Now, that's a journey to be had!
It may be the people watcher (or voyeur) in me... I enjoy watching/listening to the world around me when I'm by myself. You don't get to do that when you're with others. I find that my first impressions of people are usually wrong. It's a great practice in opening my heart and mind to those around me!
Well, that's my 2 cents. Enjoy the fact that you are able to do things by yourself. Friends and family tell me all the time of how much they admire my independence and my willingness to do things on my own... even move across the united states!
Do as i do...LIVE INSPIRED!

It's not weird. I go out by myself all the time. I'm a 25 year old college student and I usually go out to dinner by myself 2 times a week or so. I usually go to a movie after that. I find it's nice to get away from everyone and just be able to relax and not have to be bugged by everyone else.

I actually require a certain amount of "alone time" or I am not a good person. I just have this need to go off by myself, to eat, to the movies, to a park... just anywhere just by myself. I find it extremely relaxing and enjoying. I do know people though that would rather die of starvation than to eat in public alone, I am just not one of them. I think that part has a lot to do with your self confidence.

I don't think it's weird but I wish I had the guts to do it. I like being alone sometimes too but I don't go anywhere, i.e. movies or dinner, alone because I feel like others are judging me for being alone. I know I shouldn't feel that way and maybe you've given me the encouragement I need to do it. Thank you!

If it's a rather fancy restaurant, I wouldn't go alone (unless I were wealthy) but if it's just for dinner i have gone alone but feel uncomfortable at the stares that people give me when they realize I am alone. It's seems like they try to figure out what problem you have since you are alone. Try to Ignore them and enjoy your alone time!!!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing wrong with it. I do it and I am as cool as hell. Sometimes I just want to be left alone, I go to the movies and the beach alone sometimes too. I have a ton of friends and family that always want to hang out. Sometimes I don't want to be bothered.

There is nothing weird about going to dinner alone. Actually, it is a sign of having high self-esteem. You feel good about yourself and are comfortable enough that you can go dinner alone.

No, I do the same thing. I will even go to the beach by myself. People told me I was weird for that....why? Because I want some quiet alone time?
