When it's lunch hour at university and I feel like going out to eat, if no one wants to go with me, I will not go because I don't want to be seen as a loner. Is this normal?
A tip for you. Get a pad and write the name of the restaurant at the top of the page. Then write things like "Quality of Service", "Food", "Friendliness", "Promptness", "Price" and finally write out your order.
Everyone will just think you are a food critic and won't see it as odd that you're eating alone. If you leave the pad somewhere prominent, you'll be amazed how nice the staff are and how quickly you get served.
Obviously this doesn't work somewhere like McDonald's where you'll just attract the attention of someone confused by the weird shapes on the white papery stuff.
Lol I am actually on my way to dinner without the girlfriend and will attempt this right now.
Yeah I did that too but i am pretty much a 'loner' and in university it didn't seem as weird since there is not as much judgement like high school, i would just get something to take away, sit by a window or do something else while eating
Hmm, I've never been to a restaurant alone. I don't think I'd mind it, I like being alone. Eating out seems like a social thing to do to me, though. So I can see where you're coming from, because I don't think I'd ever go to a restaurant alone. However, you need to eat. If being perceived as a loner bothers you that much then why don't you talk to some new people?
