The worst part was splitting the check. I’m a cheap bast*rd when I go to restaurants and I didn’t have much cash on me so I only paid 1/3 of the bill and so I had to pay the remaining 2/3’s myself. And I relented and left the tip too just to avoid an argument. Anyways, it was just a spur of the moment thing. I was driving past and saw it looked like only a few people were in there and I had been toying with the idea the last few days about going out to eat. The food was good and the music they were playing was cheery.

Good for you! My social anxiety/nicotine addiction won’t allow me to go out to eat.

It’s good to be out sometimes. Last night I made it to a Thai place, they have great tea. So long as theirs not so many people it’s really good.

What about a near-empty restaurant when it’s really slow?
Taking oneself out on a dinner date can be very nice.
I have taken myself out to cinemas and lunch out and even dinner out.
It’s not easy and can be difficult when I have symptoms but no conversation needed and one can enjoy ones own company.
I give myself pep talk but it is a big deal for some.
Good that you enjoyed your tucker.

I should take myself out on a date like that more often. I’m such a neglectful partner.

Well I can usually not stand dinners with people where one is expected to hold conversation.
I usually say no to dinners with people and if I do go I rather take my own car so I can leave early or in the middle of dinner if I have to do so because I feel to horrid.
I do not take myself out to dinner and movies for years but I have taken myself out for a coffee.
A neglectful partner to one self is not good.
Of course one could court oneself even.
Be good to n for the…
My boyfriend goes to heaps of dinners without me.
He goes to dinner at friends and his volunteer work without me.
There has been dramas like a dinner at his friends at a table and I felt hysteria and twitches like fits I was having like fits because I could not stand being there and all the chicks at dinner were large breasted and his friend is a big boob man and looked at my tits and said it is disgusting and ugly with women who have small tits.he aimed that at me.i stood up and said I’m ready to leave now.
He was honest .my dad can be that way and tell a person they are fat (the big breasted woman were actually severely obese which of course was not mentioned but if my father was there he would defyhave commented on that.
They made meeeeeee apologise to him.
He should if apologised to ME.
Very rude and bad behaved.
I can’t stand dinners with people.
We almost broke up then and that I apologised to the one who should of apologised to me.
I did so to keep the peace or my bf and I would have broken up which seems to be what his friends and family want or they would behave better to me and not try boss me about n think they are superior etc
I usually get hysteria etc at dinners with people.
Not sure if it can be seen but fits and twitches and feelings I can not stand.
But by myself it’s way better.

Strange we did not break up after that specially since he made meeeee apologise to the bad guy when heeee should have apologised to me.
Anyway I can not stand dinners with people.
I suffer with my own family and with his parents too.
When he invites people over for dinner I eat n go to bed and sometimes do not even sit at the table with them .
It’s aaaaaaaaweful.
Thankfully I do better in my own company.

If you can’t entertain yourself then you’ll never entertain another person! Eating out is still fun for me and I’ll often do it by myself. Sometimes I’ll go out for lunch with a friend. Funny one was going to a popular restaurant for lunch on valentines day one year. Didn’t even click for either of us with us two boys sitting there for lunch and a chat. I’m sure everyone thought we were a couple by the way they were looking at us!

Awesome @77nick77
It’s good to treat yourself. Sometimes I’ll just take myself to a Chinese buffet. A little solo time is good for us imho.
