My Mom would always ask me, "How can you do that??"
And another friend said she can't fathom it.
Well, I can eat out alone. And, I do it all the time.
I don't have roommates or relatives or any friends who live close by, so within an hour of getting off of work, that's when my mind starts wandering about where I could go eat dinner tonight.
I admit I normally sit at the bar or in the bar area. Why you ask? Yep, because they have TVs! It's much easier to sit and watch tv alone, I admit. But, I'm normally on my phone playing games til the food gets there anyway.
I fully admit though one place that makes me very uncomfortable to eat alone, and that is at my fav hibachi place.
It's pretty tough to sit at a table made for ten or so people, and you are the only on there sitting all by yourself. "What, you have no friends?" I am sure they are thinking.
I can sit by myself at the bar or in a booth pretty easily - it's made for a small group of people or to dine alone. But hibachi - there is a big table that is suppose to sit a bunch of people together!
And, hibachi isn't cheap. So, I don't know too many friends that even crave it like I would.
But then again, I hardly EVER ask any of my friends to go out to eat. I don't live close to anyone and I don't like to impose. And further, I make such last minute decisions to eat somewhere right after work, it's much easier to just go alone.
But hibachi - WOW!
I have gone twice in the last few months and I admit I felt embarrassed. But, I really love their food and when I am near Japanese Palace in Fort Worth AND I'm craving it, I suck it up an go and sit my little ole' self by myself with a table full of other people.
