I would eat lunch out alone and often do at work but do work whilst eating. Have never gone out for an evening meal alone....I don't see the point, would rather eat at home. A meal out is as much about socialising than anything else. Same with a drink, I am happy in a pub if I arrive first on a night out, will go in and order a drink (my best friend wouldn't dream of that and would rather stand in the rain and wait for someone else than walk in alone) but wouldn't go out for a whole evening on my own
