Waldo's Guide to Being a Singular Sensation

Arwen · 11-12-2009, 09:03 AM

Used to hate eating alone. Then I realized why. I was very poor company. lol

I've corrected that. I do love meeting friends for dinner, but it's also fun to just go by myself and relax. I generally do have a book with me though.

Not to hide! I just read all the darn time if I'm not writing (or playing on the computer-heh).

Great thread, Waldo.

I would also suggest Meetup.com as a way to meet others who have similar interests. When I lived in Denver, I was very fond of the Tarot Meetup group. The one here has fizzled but I am toying with the idea of launching some in January. I also have taken up hooping although I haven't had any time for that in a while

Besides...if you eat alone you can pick the place and not worry that someone doesn't like something!

I tend to be a person who worries way to much about what other people are thinking, but that has never stopped me from dining out alone. I simply enjoy dining out more with others. I have enjoyed a very lovely meal with someone who was "spanging" asking for change one evening outside a place I was about to go in to dine alone.

What I do not care for is cooking at home, alone. I am the queen of tupperware and freezing stuff. However, I dont really enjoy even the eating part, alone. I would love to hear some ways to do so more sensationaly.

A Pearl, in lace.

PnL, you have hit on one of my favorite subjects.

When you cook for yourself, set the table too. Have a little glass of wine (if you drink). Pour your drink into a glass. Do NOT stand up and eat over the sink.

I love to cook and have a ton of things that can be modified to one person. Or you can make a large meal and freeze it up for later.

We have a cooking thread in the Hobbies forum..

Exactly, Arwen!

You're special, so act like it. Romance yourself. I always feel better about myself when I treat myself like I treat others, no matter my relationship status.

I would, however, like to point out that one does not have to be singular to be sensational. Me, myself and I all agree!

I do not cook at home alone like I do when coupled, I do exercise my cooking bone when I visit friends.

Cooking for myself is not as much fun, I am all about feeding people. Not so much myself.

I wish I could eat alone.

I hate the way they stare at you.

Expecting something.

I missed the cooking gene. I don't cook at all. I can heat things, like in the micro or toaster oven, but I hate trying to cook. It feels weird and unnatural for me. Plenty of people have tried to teach me, but it just doesn't take. So, my bachelor life consists of things you buy that you can heat at home and eat.
