Tonight is one of those rare nights when I'm away from home for work, without a colleague or client to meet for dinner.

I'm in a depressing hotel restaurant, as I think that's marginally more socially acceptable than going to a 'proper' restaurant on your own. Also eating early to get it out of the way.

Bluemooners are a wide and varied bunch. Anyone face this situation regularly and have a strategy for getting through it?

Something I have encountered myself. Always looked at people eating alone in restaurants and thought it doesn't look right but assumed rather than them having no friends they were away working to be fair but still think it just looks weird/wrong. I always just get a takeaway ha.

Request a table for two, order two meals and two of each drink and pretend to have a conversation with an empty chair. Act natural and leave without a fuss.

Every once in a while start crying and shout "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!!"

Never done it, if i did it'd go like this....

"table for two please"
"fine sir"
"my girlfriend's photo shoot doesn't finish for 25 mins, i will have a glass of wine while i wait"
"Right away sir"
after half an hour
"damn, she just text me, gucci want her in milan tonight, can i have a menu, as i shall be dining alone now"

This sounds too well rehearsed.
