Bars Para Sa Nag Iisa Lang

[WayneTruce]

Steps in eating alone

 

1. Choose a lively dining spot with food you like that has quick service.

2. Ask for a seat at the counter or bar. In addition to ordering a drink, the bar tender can often show you the menu. It's very common for those eating alone to sit at a counter or bar.

3. If no bar or counter is available or you simply prefer a table, ask the hostess to seat you. Just say "table for 1 please" or "it's just me this evening." Smile. It's ok, they want to serve you and are happy you came. If there is a seat by a performer, such as a piano player, ask to be seated near the entertainment.

4. Engage the waiter if you are looking for conversation. Ask them to recommend a dish or ask about the local weather.

5. Bring a book, magazine, or newspaper to read while you are waiting for your meal. This will put you at ease.

6. Enjoy your meal. When the waiter comes by and asks you how everything is, tell them fine and ask for the check even if you are not finished eating. This way you won't have to prolong the time you sit at the table alone.

7. If you are enjoying yourself, you may try to relax and do some people watching. If you catch someone's eye, just smile.

8. If you get up during your meal before you have finished to use the restroom, let the waiter know you'll be right back so they don't clear your plate by mistake.

9. Pay your bill and tip your waiter and thank the host on the way out. How lucky for you to have someone cook for you and wait on you.

 

 

Tips

 

* If eating alone is terribly uncomfortable, consider the alternatives: invite a friend/coworker to dine with you, order carry-out and take it to your room, order delivery or room service.

* The more casual the restaurant the more likely you will see diners eating alone.

* If you are a woman traveling alone on business and you feel uncomfortable walking out to your car or over to the hotel, ask the host or hostess to escort you or at least keep an eye out for you if possible.

hmmm would like to try this just kinda scared baka kasi ano maging impression..does it look nice if you see a girl drinking alone in a bar?

[Kwisatz Haderach]

probably one my favorite places to just unwind and chill alone would have to be Conspiracy Cafe in Visayas Ave. it's an old house that was renovated to a bar. i usually stay in the garden to eat then enter the music room to drink a few bottles while listening to live acoustic sets or poetry reading.

Well, I am used to dining alone, going to bars alone, watching movies alone etc. It won't make you look pathetic. Not at all times that there would be someone with us if we want to chill out and have fun. Girls who go out alone looks more independent, tougher and hotter.

We all need some quite or alone time..

 

I am with people almost 18 hrs a day... meetings in the office and clients...breakfast with GF...lunch and dinners with colleagues, friends and barkada....KTV sessions and MP runs with manyak bakadas.. going home around 1 am almost on a daily basis..

 

there are time i want some time for myself listening to some jazz or slow rock... to recharge...and get ready for the hunt the next day..:-)

why dont you try it? then see kung kaya mo..hehe..its not that uncomfortable naman..its much easier kung sa mga bar compared sa restos...sa bar kase walang pakialamanan..sa resto madami makakapansin sayo na alone..kaya mejo uncomfortable..hehe

[boybastos014]

question mga guys...why do you go alone?

 

for me, i sometimes prefer to be alone in a bar para mas madali dumiskarte sa girls..hehehe..anyway, minsan palpak din..hehe..

[RickKabayo]

Here is a funny thought....imagine a time where all of us here would come in a bar alone and hang out on our own..i can picture isang Gentle Manyak per table tapos meron pa sa bar..bitbit isang bote na beer....

[lkl]

I don't think kaya ko gawin ito, unless of course, waiting for the group or someone momentarily... :sadsmiley02:

[whiplashmd]
