How about you eat dinner at home?
Posted on 4/8/26 at 9:45 pm to habz007
One of my favorite things to do. When I travel, which is a few times a month (2-3 days each time) I have to entertain. Obviously at home I don’t get free time. Every once in a while I will not entertain during travel and I can go try some place, have a few drinks at bar, and just relax and enjoy.

I’ve really grown to enjoy just sitting at a restaurant bar alone ordering dinner and a couple drinks watching whatever repeat sportsball they have on. It’s peaceful.

I love it on the occasional buisness trip...at first. If a buisness trio stretches to a second or third day I get pretty over it

I prefer to eat alone
I hate talking to people while eating. I like to eat and think to myself

I love eating alone. Do it all the time when I travel for work. Sometimes, after working all day, last thing I want to do is eat dinner with the guys I just worked all day with, to talk about that work.
A good, quiet dinner, is amazing.

You can't throw something together at home or just pick something up and watch Modern Family while you eat?
Why do you have to go out to eat if you don't want to?

Someone probably eating your wife out right now

I love to take myself to dinner. I eat at my own pace. I don’t have to keep up any conversation. And I get uninterrupted reading time.
Enjoy the solitude.

More fun if you have a friend to go with, but not a big deal

I’m thankful for the solitude and peace when I get to eat alone.

Same here. Sitting in a meeting room all day burning maybe 10 calories, everyone wants to go straight to dinner afterwards. I’ve got to go hit a gym or get a run in while getting away from them. Typically go to the nearest grocery store deli or something later that night. ‘Dinner’ or any meal isn’t that important to me to focus my whole life around.
It’s amazing people’s reaction when you say you’ll skip dinner that night or just grab something quick. I don’t get the level of shock and confusion some get at the concept.

Eating dinner alone
While I enjoy the company of others, I have no issue eating alone. Or doing anything alone.
It's my life. I am responsbile for my own happiness. And if I want to do something that I enjoy and no one else can or does with me, I am going to do it. In the end, I count on me, and just me. It's not a hardened approach. It's reality.

I do all the time when I'm on the road on a project. Doesn't bother me at all.

Why should you feel like a loser? You have someone, they just can't be there at that moment.
Here's a hard truth which may help: no one fricking cares. You aren't the center of the universe so no one is looking at you while whispering "look at that guy, he must be pathetic to be eating alone." Everyone has their own lives with their own things going on, making them too busy to overly concern themselves with some random stranger.
And if by some bizarre chance they do, what of it? Why should the temporary, fleeting thoughts of complete strangers be a concern of yours? These are people you are likely to never encounter again, or if you do then not remember they were somewhere in the restaurant near you.
And if they are going to pay attention and you must care about it, your choices of presentation are to be either a sad-sack feeling sorry for themselves for something trivial or you can look like someone confident, who has their shite together and couldn't care less about the silly thoughts of others.
One of the few things I miss from my singledom was taking a book to a restaurant and taking my time eating while enjoying a good read. I might spend two hours there slowly grazing on my meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) while getting thoroughly engrossed in my book.
A lot of events in life are what you make of it.
