Do you feel conspicuous eating out on your own?

Someone began a discussion on this over on MN. So I wondered how the older generation here felt about it.

As a very young woman (say 16-18) I used to feel conspicuous as though people were judging me for not being with a companion. Nowadays Ive travelled so much on my own I never think about it. I like to sit outside (weather permitting) and people watch. I also find that I get better service as the waiter/ess has no one else in the group to listen to.

I went to my GP yesterday, no breakfast!.
On the way home I went into a really nice little Vietnamese Restaurant, I had a lovely lunch and felt very comfortable.
A bit of a change from my 1980's post earlier.
Nice to enjoy the change.

I’d look like Miranda Hart !
