Social Dilemma-Do You Ever Go Out to Lunch or Dinner All Alone?

Today's social dilemma came about because of something I did the other day and the reaction I seemed to get by doing it.   Let me back up.  Every now and then, I like to take myself out to lunch or dinner.  Usually it's lunch, but if my sweetie is working late, and I'm on my own, it may be dinner.   Basically all that means is that I like to go out to eat by myself.   I'll bring whatever book I happen to be reading at the time and head out.  I don't go anywhere fancy, but somewhere with good food and I'm set.  I really enjoy it .   But recently when I do it, I find that the waiters or waitresses spend a lot of time talking with me.   I'm not sure if they feel badly because I'm eating alone or what.  Now I enjoy being by myself.  Like I said, I bring my book, I eat, I read, I'm in my own little place for a bit, but the last time I went, the waitress would not stop talking to me.   It made me wonder if not a lot of people go out to eat by themselves.  So I thought I would ask you.   Do you ever take yourself out to lunch or dinner?   Do you enjoy going out to eat by yourself?  Or is that something that is completely out of your comfort zone?   Let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
