... the person who goes to a restaurant alone, eats, pays the tab and leaves, talks to no one.

I tend to. I just feel bad for them, they seem lonely. I also do the same for people who see movies by themselves.

I am extremely sensitive to things like that becase I feel bad for people a lot. Who knows, maybe they prefer it that way

It depends. If it looks like the man is on a business trip or isn't in a situation to have somebody else with him I think it's fine.

Not really. For one why feel bad for them. maybe they're eating alone because they're working late and their office just a door down. I've done it when I had to work real late and knew I wouldn't be able to make it home for dinner. As for going to the movies and watching a movie by oneself who made it a rule that watching a movie had to be with someone?

I watch a lot of horror and indepedent film and not all my friends are into what I watch. Even when I was with my girlfriend I'd still go out watch a movie by myself just because she didn't want to and I did.I also know that some people I see watching movies by themselves do it for a reason: film reviewer.

No, there could be any number of reasons why they're eating out alone.

I've done that before when I'm hungry and it's on my way home. Quite frankly I'd probably be a little annoyed if someone came up to me and expressed sympathy for my nonexistent plight. :P

Those who think it's rare to see anyone eating by themselves at a restaurant haven't been on many business trips and stayed overnight at a city on business. Go to any restaurant based inside a hotel and you will see more than a couple of people soloing a dinner at the restaurant.

If they are eating alone, I'm sure there is a reason. So, no.

I don't see how it could be a big deal. I've gone to movie by myself simply because none of my friends wanted to or were available. Sometimes I just feel like going at the spur of the moment rather than having to organize some kind of event.

Nah, people are generally alone by choice. Not that I am without compassion, but I don't really feel bad for someone unless its warranted.

That's what I do here in Japan. If I want to go out to eat, I just go. It doesn't bother me. Can't really talk with other people anyway since I barely know any Japanese. I hang out with my friends enough where I can eat dinner by myself once in awhile.

yeah I used to be a host at the restaurant I work at and when someone said "just one" i'd feel kinda bad but there are some people that come and eat at the bar and they seem really happy. It depends on each person, some I don't feel bad for like the regulars but there are some that look kinda mellow when they come in

I don't go to restaurants alone but I've been to the movies alone a few times. Now there is something that to me is pretty damn sad. If you like it then kudos to you for breaking the norm and being secure in that setting but I just need people around at the cinema.

No, I do it a lot. Its my private time, I don't want to talk to anyone. I want to enjoy my chicken wings while I watch hockey, just relaxing.

Yeah I do. IMO there's no point in going to a film or going to eat somewhere alone. They're social occasions/places.

Why would I possibly be feel bad for anyone that is eating at a restaurant alone? Is a man expected to be eating with someone? And also keep in mind you don't know these people, so why feel anything?

Not really. I often go and see movies by myself, not because there is a lack of people to see it with, but because I know that particular movie wouldnt appeal to any of those people, bar a few but never come to see them anyway.

that dosen't mean they are lonely. i dine and go to the movies with a date, friends and by myself. i don't have to go out with company all the time, especially if i'm hungry and want to see a movie bad enough.
