I don't eat out enough to have come up with some place special to take her. If she makes it to town again I will be better prepared. Anyway, she was a delightfull companion both for dinner and before.

The plates have too much food on them. I would take extra apples and bananas from breakfast meal from the hotel to have snacks during the day.

I have had several jobs with an unlimited expense account, and a lot of travel. I would meet company people in different towns, and usually had to take then and their wives out for a nice dinner for good company relations.

I got really fat doing that, and I learned to watch what I eat. I would stop at a local grocer when I could, and take the food to the room. I could get apples, and other fruit, and raw vegs. Sometime I would buy a quart of milk for the evening and breakfast. I ate much better. I have lost 50 pounds since I stopped the excess travel routine. Eating out can be hard on your health, if you don't watch what you eat.

Thanks so much for all your responses. Traveling can be very lonely and i was in one of those moods when I started this lol.

Thanks again, you guys rock (as I finish ordering my dinner in )

Lux,

You haven't always had to eat meals alone in KC. I recall some dipwad took you to lunch a while back. His company may have been poor, but he did take you to Jack Stack

But I do know what you mean. I travel a lot as well and it can suck sitting eating alone. Originally Posted by Sens55

Traveling alone does suck, I feel like a reject walking into a restaurant alone. I usually end up sitting at the bar, and somebody strikes some conversation. Nine times out of ten, I order a drink the bartender never heard of and then fun begins. Giggling.

When I get into a new town, I usually call a local provider and she takes pity on me and grabs a meal with me. I joke, I joke, they usually comes and we have a good time. Its the best time to get to know the local ladies and make nice.

I think this is more of an issue for the ladies. Women I've known have been very self-conscious about eating alone. They've told me that they feel like everyone is staring at them and judging them.

I love eating alone in restaurants, but I tend to like solitude anyway. Hope I don't end up in a mountain cabin with a long beard talking to the animals one day. LOL.

Yeah Lux, afraid to say it, but it's a slippery slope to Loonyville once you start talking to yourself. You know you have a REAL problem when you start ANSWERING yourself.

I thought that you knew how us, IT guys, solve problems.
