Are you afraid to eat out by yourself?

Look around your local restaurant and you will see that most people there will be dining with their partners, children or friends. But a growing number of people dine alone all or some of the time.
Eating on your own can seem daunting if you are used to eating out with other people.
Many People are afraid to eat out alone and feel embarrassed to be seen out eating alone.

So, are you one of the many people afraid to eat out alone?

This seems to be very common problem among apparently well adjusted people.
Not only do people report feeling self conscious and conspicuous when they dine alone, many people actually perceive that people are actively staring at them because they eating out without a dining companion.

But why not enjoy yourself?

Whether you are single or just out alone for the afternoon, eating alone doesn't have to entail picking up

a McDonald's cheeseburger on the road home. You can enjoy dining out alone at a nice restaurant without looking awkward or lonely, you may even enjoy it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What do you think when you see the people eat alone in a restaurant?

2. Have you ever eaten alone at restaurant? What was it like?

    And If you haven't, would you like to, or would it feel too awkward?

3. What do you usually do when you dine alone? Do you pay attention to the food or do something else while eating?

4. Can(Would) you do something by yourself that people usually do together? For example, taveling, going to a cinema, going to a restaurant etc..

If you have done them before, share your stories and feelings about them with your group.
