      <![CDATA[I eat alone for lunch quite a bit.<br>
<br>
I usually eat at the bar at a few regular haunts, and the tender usually makes for intermittent conversation.<br>
<br>
Other times, I'll make a salad at the Hy-Vee salad bar, and go to a park and eat.

      <![CDATA[I got used to dining alone when my husband was working second shift in California, and it never really bothered me.   Like Megan, I'm into more eclectic ethnic cuisine than he is, so it gave me the opportunity to try some places he'd never be caught dead in! It used to be that a woman dining by herself would often get stuck in the worst table (right by the kitchen door or the bathroom) but I haven't seen that happening for years.

      <![CDATA[I live alone during the week (my husband's a student in Iowa), so if I go out to eat, I am alone. I get to eat places that he wouldn't like (I love Vietnamese food, but he's not a fan) or get ideas for places I want to take him when he visits.

      <![CDATA[Oddly enough, not when I'm out traveling or in a different city, or going to somewhere eclectic, but for some reason it doesn't when I think about just going to go get dinner somewhere in KC by myself. I should really work on getting over that.
