100% this. I dine alone all the time & enjoy doing so. I feel a teddy bear would feel insulting. I have a good social life… i dont need companionship all the time.
Half the time, going to trendy restaurants is too much of a hassle with other people anyway. The wait times in particular make them unappealing. When going alone though, ive yet to find a place that couldnt immediately find a table for you (though more often than not, its at the bar)
I did want to build on the fancy restaurant thing. I recently enjoyed a solo meal at a high end supper club (the kind of place where people celebrate special events).. they sat me in their exclusive honeymoon table that was super romantically decorated right in the middle of the restaurant.. it was the only time i actually wondered what the other tables might think, but i thought it was the coolest thing ever lol.
