Re: Single Diners - Your Thoughts

When I was a young lady my Mom told me some "rules" she felt a LADY would follow. Things like not going to a man's house or hotel alone, not sitting at a bar, no hitchhiking.

I've sat in the bar area many times while dining solo.

I just  make sure to leave my thigh high stiletto boots in the car and grab my white gloves and pearls. Woman Wink

@Noel7  I beg your pardon but you attacked first.  Anyone knows what type of restaurant Panera is.

Personally I prefer standing at the edge of the bar. Then I pretend to drop my purse on the floor and sloooowly bend over to pick it up. Works every time.

On a side note, I don't post or read  here very often, but I sure have had a good time reading this thread.

re men not wanting to eat alone

 

When I travel for business, I am always surprised at how many times men will ask to sit with me.  This happens frequently at breakfast but a few times at dinner as well.  They will be seated at the table right next to me and ask if they can move over.  They always pay for my meal, so it's a win-win and I meet interesting people.


PS.  They have all been married men.

 

My gf husbands tell me it's because I look "safe."  LOL

Re: Single Diners - Your Thoughts

Just doing the math, nearly 30% of the posts on this thread came from the OP which suggests she might not be looking for "our thoughts" as was requested in the title.

She is as entitled to post her opinion, as anyone else is. She asked for an opinion and some people chose to attack her personally
