  • I dine at two restaurants alone. A gentleman offers me a drink, but it ends up on my tab. Life is still decent.

    You are so entertaining 🤣
    When I was single and treating myself to a dinner out, I always positioned myself next to married couples. Then I'd strike up a conversation with them. Often they would feel an obligation to protect me from the hounds and tell a guy to buzz off if he was bothering me. And yes, absolutely yes... If a man orders a drink, he better pay for it. I can only guess that it was an oversight by the waitress. Dessert tour!!! I'm in 🙂
    True story .. I visited new Orleans with two other couples. None of us could decide on breakfast because we all wanted to taste something Different from all the new Orleans cuisine. So.... We spent the morning going to each restaurant, ordered several appitizers and shared them. Then went on to the next. It was so much fun. The waitresses had a blast with us and would even make suggestions. We called it our appetizer crawl. 🙂

      Eating alone in a fine restaurant is an indication that you're comfortable in your own skin. I been eating alone in fine and not so fine restaurants for years. Most of the times you don't see people eating alone. They have to call 1, 2, 3, or 4 people before they can go to a restaurant. They don't have enuff courage to sit there alone and be at peace with themselves. That's because their insecure. Their self esteem is in the toilet. Where is it written that every man has to have a girlfriend. If you don't have one, that's nothing to be embarrassed about. The real losers are the people who can't live without girlfriends, friends, can't go anywhere alone, always hanging out in groups of 4,6,8, 10 people. Low self esteem losers who have fallen deep into the matrix.
