I've been to the movies alone...I ♥ it! No kids, no husband , yak, yak, yak. I believe that if I really wanted to get Pho. I would go alone.
Go for it!0 -
Its not weird at all, I do it often because my hubbie works days and I am not working right now. I just take my ipod or a book and enjoy myself. Nobody cares.0

I eat Thai alone. It isn't as bad as going to the movie theatre alone.0

I would probably get better service too!!
Ok, you've convinced me... I'm treating myself to a sloppy bowl of Pho. I'll bring a book for back-up. Maybe my class notes.. I'll make it look like I'm soooo busy studying I didn't have time to cook...
I've traveled for months on my own, and never felt weird eating at restaurants alone. But for some reason eating alone in a small town is so much more intimidating! It's all in my head though...0 -
If it helps, when I see people at restaurants eating by themselves I don't give it a second thought. As someone else said, they're just not that interesting. That being said, I do remember a guy that sat at a table beside me once (maybe it was Wheird) who spent his entire meal calling apparently everyone he knew just to loudly say hi and chat a little. He also kept looking around as if to make sure we were all seeing that he wasn't a friendless loser. It actually made him seem much more sad (and obviously more memorable) than if he'd just brought some reading material and enjoyed his own company.0

Absolutely nothing wrong with eating out alone, but as an option if you call them and ask they might be able to do a takeaway pho for you0

Most sit in restaurants do take out. Usually when you walk in they ask if you want a table and you can say no I want to order a to go box of blahblahblah. But I go almost everywhere by myself and it’s no biggie!0

I lived in New York all of my life up until a few years ago, and became quite comfortable with going out to eat alone.
It doesn't seem to be as common here in Florida, but I don't mind it. I'm glad to sit by myself sometimes just eating what I want and catching up on my reading, writing, studying..whatever.
I even go to the movies alone.0 -
Who cares what other people think? You gotta eat!0

I would love to eat alone.
We have to little kids. And when the food arrives it's 100% guaranteed that one of them has to go to the toilet. I have not eaten warm food in a restaurant for a few years now.
Enjoy0
