When it comes to dining alone, there is a certain art to it. As a seasoned individual, I can confidently say that the key is to embrace your age and not concern yourself with what others may think. Whether you are older or younger, adopting a professional appearance can provide the illusion that you are on a business trip and simply working through a meal, rather than being without company. I speak from personal experience, as this was my solace during a time when my job demanded constant travel. I detested eating in boring hotel restaurants surrounded by uninteresting fellow diners. Instead, I would take pleasure in wandering around, carefully selecting a restaurant, and enjoying a delightful evening of people-watching.

Forty years ago, as a middle-aged woman venturing alone to Paris, I nervously stepped into a restaurant for a solitary evening meal. To my delight, I was warmly welcomed and escorted to a window table that had been thoughtfully set for one. The feeling of acceptance was blissful. Now, as an elderly individual still living the single life, I frequently dine alone. My remedy? I always bring along a captivating book, ensuring I have a loyal companion.

Since the passing of my partner seven years ago, I have embraced being alone in both dining and traveling. This has become a normal aspect of my life, not due to a lack of friends, but rather a personal choice. I have always found it to be a positive experience, and it is refreshing to see how solo diners are now treated more favorably compared to forty years ago, when I first ventured into dining alone for work. I had no idea that the treatment of solo diners had improved so greatly.
