I like eating alone. I always have my breakfast an hour or so after my husband has had his, after I have had my daily walk, done a few chores, and played on my computer. Once a week I have my lunch alone when my husband takes himself off to the café in our village to have his. I don't like dining out much, and avoid doing so if possible.

Very funny article  :D. That woman crying over seeing someone else eating egg and chips alone! Then coming off the pill.  :D Never heard the like.

I like eating, happy to have company in canteen& equally happy eating on my own. I can eat peculiar combinations of food without fear of comment when alone!

Much of the time I have no choice. I am widowed and my children have left home. So I eat alone most days. I don't mind this - it means that I need not be subject to any expected social convention when I eat.

I have an active social life and dine with others a couple of times a week. I lack the motivation to go out and eat by myself.

I resent the implications of the use of "onanism". The sin of Onan was not that he took solitary sexual pleasure but that he refused to impregnate his dead brother's widow.

I love eating out alone. It's a way in which I'm independent. I eat out with others regularly too but I enjoy getting lunch after a massage or on a shopping trip or a long breakfast somewhere that does mushrooms on toast.

Yes, popping into a cafe on my own is lovely.

Eating on your own is cool. I used to do it all the time. An evening down the boozer and a ruby after.
