Waldo's Guide to Being a Singular Sensation

atomiczombie · 11-12-2009, 04:01 AM

*raises his hand* Single here. I don't mind dining alone if I am at an event by myself. For example, I went to IMsL in 07 by myself, basically knowing no one. I instantly met people and made friends, only had to eat one meal alone. Didn't bother me though.

Single workaholic here.

I also don't mind dining alone. I don't get much opportunity though. When I'm not working I'm either home alone or with friends.

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.

I'll make that Lesson Numero Dos

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.
