I have no idea how I missed it, but I apologize for not replying sooner. You are absolutely correct that much of the stigma is in our own heads. We spend way too much time worrying about what other people are thinking about us when we're dining alone, when the truth is, they're probably not thinking about us at all. And once you get used to dining alone, it seems perfectly normal. Because it IS perfectly normal. Brad, I am super embarrassed that I didn't notice this comment until now.

A long time ago when I found myself single for the first time as an adult (broke up with my college gf), I remember thinking that things like going to eat or going to the movies by yourself was "weird." I was also working for myself at the time and living a very solitary life so eventually I started going to places by myself. At first I'd make sure to go at 'off hours' and always had a notepad and a book with me. I'd also go to the same places repeatedly so I knew the waiters. At one point after years of this I remember a friend coming to town and asking me if I wanted to go to a movie with him. After accepting his novel invitation, I can distinctly remember thinking how weird it was that I KNEW someone else in the theater. I think that largely the 'stigma of dining alone' is all in the traveler's head. Ditch that baggage and you'll find all kinds of options open to you. It’s funny.
