I don’t do things by myself, don’t go out to eat, to the movies, shopping, amusement parks , snowboarding. I never go alone, I don’t see the point if you don’t have anyone to share the experience with. That’s what makes it fun is the company that you get to have a story with.
Going to a restaurant on valentines by myself, well that would bum me out a lot. Just be reminded of how alone I am while everyone else is happy on fun nights with their s/o. I would feel so bad and pressured to hurry up cu there is probably someone waiting for the table. Ahhh this is giving me anxiety just thinking about it.
Anyways
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YALL❣️ ❣️ ❣️
Hope your night is full of wonderful magic moments. Love is the greatest thing to feel in the world. ❤️‍🔥 Bye bye. ❤️‍🔥
😊❤️

Isn't it already enough my parents celebrating Valentine's Day infront of my single eyes? Lol jk if I am alone then I would rather order food no matter which day it is. Or I will go with my friend. I don't care what others think of me because I live for myself not for others. And about my loved ones then I love myself enough so I will be my own Valentine.

When you are used to being alone & used of being rejected by people you want to love. I'm used to it eating in restaurants by myself sometimes it makes me want to just put the gun in my hand and just end it all. It feels kind of pointless to find love if it's going to involve money on the introductions without no conversations or getting to know people.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I think I did in the past. One time, I went to a coffee shop before work one day to ask out a girl who worked there. She wasn't there that day though. So I had coffee by myself 😞

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

None of the reasons above, I just wouldn’t ever eat in a restaurant alone! I’m not saying that it’s pathetic, but it IS lonely. Humans, hell all great apes are social creatures, so with our higher brain functions, we would feel that loneliness and social isolation more than anything. No, restaurant’s are for couples of parties of three or more… NOT for young women to eat alone.

jshm2 · Answer

Not sure, as it's not something that appeals to me.

Eating alone at a takeout or buffet is fine. But eating alone at a restaurant is just something I've never done. Mainly as I always end up meeting someone or knowing one of the chefs, patrons or staff at most.

Ian69 · Answer

I have dined alone in a pub/restaurant and really enjoy it. It’s one of my favourite pastimes. But Valentine’s Day, is the one day i would avoid. I would feel very awkward eating alone on that particular evening.

Minerate · Answer

None of the options really "fit". I personally don't go out, since many places require reservations and are usually very busy. (I've worked in restaurants, they are often packed).

Better to stay at home to save some cash and let the servers get the larger tips from most holidays.

Moose304 · Answer

I have many times. Valentine's day is just another day! Last year I was with a group of people. A friends with benefits is coming over later and we will have some dinner tonight and might watch a replay of the Super Bowl with some friends. Like I said, just another day!

_lost_soul_ · Answer

I'd eat alone. Being alone is a state of mind. You can be alone and still not feel alone. Seeing other couples being happy may make me feel a little left out... may even make me feel a little sad that my relationship didn't work out. However, seeing happy love is satisfying to see and it is a reminder that love is still out there.

molonski2 · Answer

Here its no problem , you'd get a table easily , as Thais have not been convinced by the Valentines day bs , there is bits of it , just aimed at idiot westerners , would not be an issue to eat alone and many people do so.

menina · Answer

Yes, I would. Why not? I don't feel bad for being single, actually is the best thing I can do for myself right now. Besides the restaurant is not exclusive for couples, so a single person can go there on Valentine's Day.

yug_a_tsuj · Answer

What is this last option lmao

You can't he happy by yourself? 🤣 I think that is why most relationships don't last, people need outside influence to be happy

Be happy with yourself first then look for relationships 😊

HighlyVolatile · Answer

Not a table to myself. I'd want company. Maybe at the bar area.

Adam1978 · Answer

No I never book tables when I eat alone. I go and grab something quick and easy that doesn't requires much effort if I am on a trip and can't eat at home. Otherwise I order take away.

ohshee · Answer

If I was traveling someplace sure I probably would But if I'm at home I know I'm a better cook than that I would rather stay home and cook something which I will probably do LOL

Still-alive · Answer

I would but definitely not on V day because of all the lines and such. Fuck that lol

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

I have done this ones. They looked at me like I was from mars or that there was something wrong with me

PinkMichae · Answer

Definitely. I'd celebrate my self love. To me Valentine's day isn't only for couple's. It's a holiday to celebrate love in all ways.

Dubadu4ever · Answer

I don't see nothing wrong with it. What makes it awkward is that I don't have money to date myself lol.

Alyssa_11 · Answer

I don’t mind eating alone at a restaurant but probably not on Valentine’s Day lol.  Although two years ago I almost did but my mum didn’t let me go alone 😂

dustybiker · Answer

I wouldn’t want to take a table a couple could use on a day like that. I like a pretty place outside when alone anyway.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Why should this year be any different? I don't know that I've ever gone out to eat on VD, even when I WAS seeing someone. I might've, I just don''t remember doing so.

lrina · Answer

it'd be so crowded and probably noisy so i'd rather just go to a restaurant a week before or a week after.

MTC29 · Answer

If I was on vacation and traveling, sure, although I'd eat at the bar so that a couple can have a table.

zagor · Answer

LOL the places I usually eat aren't the places one would usually go for a VD date. Burger joints, hole-in-the-wall taco places, BBQ restaurants - don't see a lot of romantic diners there. So yes, no problem.

Mangospacho · Answer

Absolutely. It’s my way of sticking it to the man. I would even take up an entire booth and watch as the other couples have to wait for my table while I take my time eating all the food that I bought for just myself.

msc545 · Answer

Sure if I'm hungry, I would eat in a restaurant alone. It's no big deal. I would feel sorry for all those men spending money on those women and working on ruining their own lives and possibly getting married like idiots.

Iron_Man · Answer

I’ll eat at Burger King alone If not it’ll be just like this movie I’m gonna show you be right back

Yes, why not? If I'm hungry and I wanna eat something, I just do it.

Aurora1010 · Answer

Yeah, why not? I never cared much what other people think.

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

I don't eat out alone on any day. I see it as a social thing. Like going to the cinema.

katiesmuff · Answer

Certainly I would if I were hungry and wanted something to eat.

Bel88 · Answer

I probably wouldn't even know it was Valentine's Day. Is it the 14th or the 15th of February?

Jessica405 · Answer

I would not hog a table for 1 when a couple might love it.

bookish_bengali · Answer

As long as it’s a restaurant I am familiar, I would be fine

Guido · Answer

I have been away from home working so its just a fact of life. No big deal.

De_La_BakedBeans · Answer

I voted C, but I just don't normally do things by myself anyway so...

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

I would never eat alone at a restaurant. I'd rather order in and have the company of my tv

Dragonstarterplus · Answer

No. The place will be crowded and my food will not get the attention it deserves

SurströmmingLover · Answer

I would probably feel very cringe and awkward just on this day. But, next year I might try it only based on your second option :)

AdithyaR · Answer

People who chose the last option. Where'd you lose your brain?

cth96190 · Answer

Alone is the only way that I eat. I gave up on women years ago.

chulo1992 · Answer

I am a very romantic person, so to see couples all around me when I have no one would a very uncomfortable situation

Better_off_here · Answer

eating alone is not a bad thing, i would rather be out eating alone around other people and being out in the world than be alone in front of my TV screen watching sad romantic movies.

dray995 · Answer

Nope. I wouldn’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself.

_Just_A_girl_ · Answer

There's a resturaunt in Asia that places a massive teddy across from you if you come in alone.

InferiorElegy · Answer

Surrounded by happy couples making me feel even more unloved ugly and making me wish I was dead, so much that I kill myself early? No thanks.

BaldAvenger · Answer

I go out alone all the time. I'm probably the best date I've ever had or, as a sign of the times, will have again!!

Anonymous · Answer

why would you even do that? take out exists for a reason...

Likes2drive · Answer

I wouldn’t bother because it would be too crowded and they charge more than other nights

TsAubreyKate · Answer

Do strip club wings count as a restaurant they’re right next to the stage and very salty for some reason

SpaceGalaxy · Answer

No, i rather have my romantic, candle light dinner alone over my bathroom SINK with my best friend (seen on the mirror)

Anonymous · Answer

why would i eat alone at a restaurant when i could have the food delivered to my house and eat at home instead?

Anonymous · Answer

It wouldn't bother me if that's what you're asking. But I'm not someone who cares to eat out. I'm more of a takeout person.

McKellar · Answer

I probably can, but considering I have no job,... I can't even afford to do something like that.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

Yeah. Why not? There’s nothing wrong with eating alone. Who gives a shit what people think?
